There’s nothing like listening to your favorite holiday songs to put you in great spirits this season! This is why every year around this time, I like to add a new holiday album to our collection of Christmas music. Today, it’s time to let it go and “Let It Snow” with Idina Menzel! The voice of Elsa in the mega-hit Frozen and star of Wicked, Rent, Glee and If/Then, Idina has a new album called Holiday Wishes. It’s 12 tracks of holiday hits, including guest performances by Kenny G and Michael Bublé.
Holiday Wishes is out now on Warner Bros. Records. It was produced by Grammy Award-winner Walter Afanasieff (who’s worked with Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, and Mariah Carey) and features such classic favorites as “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” “White Christmas” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” as well as Joni Mitchell’s Christmas-themed “River,” one of Menzel’s favorites. Another highlight is a duet with international superstar Michael Bublé on “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” Their voices work well together!
My personal favorites from this album are “Do You Hear What I Hear,” which I’ve liked singing to my daughters since they were babies, and “Silent Night,” which Idina does a beautiful version of. But all the songs are wonderful! My daughters even recognized Elsa’s voice, which they thought was very cool.
BUY IT!
Holiday Wishes is available now on iTunes and Amazon, and an exclusive Target edition of Holiday Wishes features two bonus tracks, including “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”.
