It has always been Brickman's dream to record a Christmas album with an orchestra.  "It has always been a dream of mine to record an album with a Symphony Orchestra. The timeless sounds of soaring strings, glorious woodwinds & brass, sparkling percussion and the beautiful harmony of all of those instruments coming to life together. There's no better time than Christmas to celebrate with music, so I felt it was fitting to make my first orchestra album a holiday collection.

This collection of songs is both traditional and contemporary, and features many of my favorite carols along with original compositions and star-studded vocal performances.
This album is truly a labor of love. I hope you'll enjoy making it a part of your holiday season for many years to come."
