TAKE a “Sleigh Ride” with Ronnie Spector at her annual Christmas party, which returns to B.B. King’s Blues Club this weekend (9 p.m. tomorrow; 8 p.m. on Sunday). The legendary singer and former Ronette, now 59, adorably dresses as Mrs. Claus as she giddily glides through seasonal tunes such as “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” and “Frosty the Snowman.” Such songs are featured on her ex-husband’s “A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector,” which was an Christmas miracle in and of itself. In 1963, Phil Spector – the wallofsound producer whose murder trial begins in March – had to convince skeptical music execs, who believed holiday songs and rock ‘n’ roll didn’t mix, to release what’s become a seasonal classic. Besides holiday songs, Ronnie and her band can make a room brighter than Rudolph’s nose with Ronettes hits including “Baby I Love You” and “Be My Baby.” Tickets are $30 in advance and $34 at the door. B.B. King’s, 243 W. 42nd St.; (212) 997-4144, bbkingsblueclub.com
