Quick answer
Choose the 12-inch white vinyl for a standard LP feel and the exclusive bonus track "Calling It Christmas" with Joss Stone; pick the 10-inch red vinyl for a compact, colorful holiday collectible that fits smaller turntables.
Size and turntable compatibility
The 12-inch white vinyl plays at standard 33⅓ RPM and fits any full-size turntable. The 10-inch red vinyl typically plays at 45 RPM (check your player) and is a better fit for smaller or portable record players with limited platter clearance.
If your turntable struggles with 7-inch singles, the 10-inch size may still be manageable, but the 12-inch is the safest bet for trouble-free playback.
Bonus tracks and exclusivity
Both editions include the original A-side "Step Into Christmas" and B-side "Ho Ho Ho (Who'd Be A Turkey At Christmas)", plus bonus tracks. The 12-inch white vinyl adds "Calling It Christmas" by Elton and Joss Stone for the first time on record, making it a unique addition for fans of that collaboration.
The 10-inch red vinyl offers three bonus tracks total, but the exact tracklist beyond the two core songs is not disclosed in the listing. If the Joss Stone duet is a priority, the 12-inch is the clear choice.
Collectibility and display
The 12-inch is pressed on festive white vinyl, while the 10-inch comes in festive red. Both are limited editions, but the 12-inch white vinyl is a first-time release on colored 12-inch format, adding rarity for collectors.
The 10-inch red vinyl is more compact and visually striking as a standalone display piece, especially if you have a smaller shelf or want a pop of holiday color.
Decision rules: 10-inch vs 12-inch white vinyl
- Pick the 12-inch white vinyl if: You want the Joss Stone duet "Calling It Christmas" on vinyl, prefer standard LP playback (33⅓ RPM), and have a full-size turntable.
- Pick the 10-inch red vinyl if: You want a compact, colorful holiday collectible that fits smaller turntables, and you're okay with 45 RPM playback and an undisclosed bonus tracklist.
- Consider both if: You're a serious collector who wants the unique color variants and the Joss Stone duet—the 12-inch has the duet, while the 10-inch offers a different color and size for display variety. Check your turntable's RPM support and platter size before buying the 10-inch.
