Promising dynamic live music experiences combined with a full symphony orchestra, the Celtic Woman troupe has a new album to go with the tour. Home For Christmas features vocals by Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe, and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha along with violinist Máiréad Nesbitt and contains such classic holiday nuggests as “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” and “Winter Wonderland.”

Of course, you can still snag Celtic Woman’s first Christmas album. Featuring songs from the ensemble’s PBS special, A Christmas Celebration went platinum shortly after its release.
