Courtesy of Ronnie SpectorRonnie Spector is continuing a holiday tradition by lining up a series of her annual “Best Christmas Party Ever!” shows.

The girl-group legend will perform with the latest incarnation of The Ronettes on the 10-date tour, which runs from a November 24 performance in Rockville Centre, New York, through a December 22-23 stand at the City Winery in New York City.

Spector began playing her yuletide-themed gigs back in 1988.  Fans attending the concerts can expect to hear some of the soulful renditions of classic holiday tunes that The Ronettes recorded for the famous 1963 album A Christmas Gift for You, which was produced by Ronnie’s ex-husband Phil Spector. These include “Frosty the Snowman,” “Sleigh Ride” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.”
