Just Announced: Trans-Siberian Orchestra, CHRISTMAS TRILOGY

It seems like they've been a part of our holiday soundtrack for so long at this point that hard to remember when the Trans-Siberian Orchestra wasn't a Christmas music staple. It's like they've always been there, you know? In truth, it has been awhile since they first made their debut - we've crossed the two-decade mark at this point -  and although it hasn't been quite as long since their CHRISTMAS TRILOGY collection went out of print, it's still been too long since it's been readily available for your purchasing enjoyment.

Fortunately for you, this often terrible year is coming to a close with a Christmas miracle: THE CHRISTMAS TRILOGY is back!

This set includes the entire trilogy – CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES (1996), THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC (1998), and THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE (2004) – as well as The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, a DVD which takes TSO's creativity into a more visual realm. In addition, several "video visualizers" are being made available on YouTube, including "Christmas Jam."

There’ll be more videos uploaded as time passes, with the last of the bunch, "Christmas Bells, Carousels, and Time" arriving on Christmas Day. So keep checking out the TSO YouTube page, pick up a copy of THE CHRISTMAS TRILOGY (the track listing follows), and - last but not least - have yourself a happy holiday season!
