The 1999 "Elvis Christmas Album" (Japanese release for instance) is a major upgrade in terms of ambience and overall sound quality. The main reason is probably because it comes with very little or no noise reduction, but there could be some truth to the claims of "recently found tape" or better A/D transfer as well. BMG even skipped the different echo on left and right channels on this one. Hopefully more 50's masters will be treated with such care in the future.
