It's not a surprise that Josh Groban has the passionate fanbase that he has - his rich, baritone voice and melodic sensibilities are among some of the most impressive in modern pop music. With his first Christmas offering, he sticks to the formula that he is known for, featuring arrangements that match his singing with light symphonic orchestration, pop music elements and guest performances by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Brian McKnight and Faith Hill. In a smart move, producer David Foster garlands the album in musical effects that give the music a "magical" feel, calling to mind perennial Christmas classics from decades past. Highlights include Groban version of "Ave Maria" (which his large voice is perfect for), "What Child is This" and the original song "Thankful."
