HOLIDAY CD REVIEW: Idina Menzel ~ Holiday Wishes #O2O #HolidayWishes

Disclaimer: I participated in the Idina Menzel Holiday Wishes album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided an album to review but all opinions are my own.


I really liked Idina Menzel from the moment I saw her on the big screen in the Disney movie Enchanted. I was even more excited to see this album being released in time for Christmas after listening to her beautiful voice and songs in the movie Frozen!


Holiday Wishes, a Christmas album recorded by Tony Award-winning singer/actor Idina Menzel, is out now on Warner Bros. Records.


The album was produced by Grammy Award-winner Walter Afanasieff (Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey) and features such classic favorites as “All I Want For Christmas Is You” 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 BublĂ© on “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” An exclusive Target edition of Holiday Wishes features two bonus tracks, including “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”.


Idina’s career has traversed stage, film, television, and music. She was most recently heard as Elsa in Disney’s global box-office smash Frozen, in which she sings the film’s Oscar-winning song “Let It Go.” After her performance of the multi-platinum song at the 86th annual Academy Awards, she made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting. Idina currently stars as Elizabeth in the original Broadway production of If/Then.

Here is a trailer from her album:

I really loved hearing Idina's take on some of the classic holiday songs in addition to her duet with Michael Buble whom I love as well! I didn't get the Target exclusive version of this cd so I haven't heard the bonus tracks but if they are as good as the other songs on this album - you will love them! My favorite song hands-down was "All I Want for Christmas is You!" - it's fun and gets you moving! I was thrilled to even see Idina Menzel perform during one of the Thanksgiving day parades one of these songs from her album! She is talented and continues to amaze me with her beautiful voice!
