Celine is one of the few people who can successfully pull off a holiday album. This is a wonderful album for the holiday season, and while it leans mostly towards the Christmas holiday, it also features wonderful classics like "Ave Maria" and "Brahms' Lullaby."

This is worth the buy.

I absolutely love this new collector's edition! Every real fan would certainly want to buy a copy! The concert is simply amazing! I always wanted to have it on DVD! I also think it's a great Christmas present for everyone, not only Celine's fans! Great Christmas music!

This is just an amazing gift an artist could give. The songs are amazing and just so greatly sung. From the powerful Oh Holly Night, to the softest Another Year Has Gone By, all the songs tell a story and magically takes to that amazing place where Xmas has always a perfect or blue felling.
Her voice is just at that perfect point, and now we get to see and listen at the same time. This network special is just one of the best, she looks amazing as always, and features 2 great artists the amazing tenor Andrea Bocelli and the actress/ entertainer/ singer-to-be Rosie O'Donnel...
Celine's flawless and it is certainly an amazing item to your music library or to your collection!!!
An edition to buy for sure!!!

I am simply in awe of her talent. Her voice is ridiculously perfect and this album is stunning. Her version of O' Holy Night gets me speechless every time I hear it. I get literal chills. Its the best version I have ever heard. BTW, Josh Grobin arranged his version almost identically, but even his doesn't come close to her's. Ave Maria is quite beautiful as well. I even love her version of Blue Christmas. It is a MUST for poeple who love Christmas music.

I got this album when it first came out and have bought many different Christmas albums since. Whenever I buy a new Christmas album my first thought is "Will it be better then Celine's?" The answer is always no. Some albums do come close. Josh Groban's new one Noel was wonderful. Sara Mclachlan's was breathtaking and Jana's was beautiful and unique..but it wasn't the same. Celine's voice has the power to make you feel these songs like no one else can. Every single song on the album is amazing! There is no fillers here. Plus about half the songs were new and written the year it came out. Very rare when most Christmas albums now have mostly covers and a couple of new ones. I don't think there will ever be another Christmas album that can top this. Unless Celine decides to record a new Christmas album. :D

Turn up the volume...turn down the lights....turn off your phone...and escape to ~Wonderland~...you'll get goosebumps, I have them just writing this!

This is one of the best traditional Christmas albums out there. Celine's voice is perfect for the holiday classics "Oh Holy Night", "Ave Maria", & "O Come O Ye Faithful". She soars to highs that would give anyone chills. She also covers Elvis' "Blue Christmas" & John Lennon's "Happy Christmas" with the touch of sadness the songs require. She brings home the Christmas message with the Diane Warren song & title track "These Are Special Times". It also includes the hit song "I'm You're Angel" with R. Kelly.

The re-pckaged 2007 edition includes all the songs remastered along with a dvd of her CBS Christmas special.

Celine Dion`s Christmas album is one of the best ever and my favorite one. I can`t hardly wait to hear it again. On this album you can find every kind of music and I can`t hardly say which song is the best or my favorite one.

This is a must-have collection specialy for Celine's fans.Great Christmas music and the holiday performance live in this DVD.I like the part where Celine visited Charlemagne and recalled her humble beginnings.The only thing is suggest/wished that the DVD covers from the entire concert and there was no cuts,although the highlights were there.If we watch any of Celine's performance,it should be to the max.Otherwise,DO NOT miss this collection.

I like the CD. Celine is nice and mellow for Christmas. I didn't know there was also a DVD included. I was surprised to see that there are different songs on the DVD. They are not the same ones as on the Christmas CD.
