In terms of actual certification of shipments by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Elvis Presely's holiday album "Elvis' Christmas Album" (originally released in 1957) has been certified for shipments of more than 12 million units (3 million for the original 1957 issue plus 9 million for the 1970 re-issue).
During the Nielsen Soundscan era (1991 - present), in which bar codes are scanned electronically at time of sale in order to obtain accurate piece counts of units sold, Kenny G's 1994 holiday album "Miracles: The Holiday Album" has sold the most copies, with at least 7,215,000 copies sold as of December 29, 2009.
Wikipedia.org also indicates that "Elvis' Christmas Album" has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide, with Bing Crosby's perennial holiday album "Merry Christmas" (originally released in 1945, and retitled by MCA Records to "White Christmas" in 1986) having sold more than 15 million copies worldwide (though the source of this information is not provided).
