It’s going to be quite the merry season for Idina Menzel because, not only does she have Frozen II coming out in November, the Tony winner announced today that she’ll release a second Christmas album, Christmas: A Season of Love, on October 18th!
Menzel will be joined by a slew of talented singers on the record–including her Frozen voice co-star Josh Gad on “We Wish You the Merriest”; Ariana Grande will join Menzel on “A Hand for Mrs. Claus,” Tony and Emmy winner Billy Porter will duet on “I Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” and Menzel will be joined by her husband Aaron Lohr on “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”. The couple have previously starred together in the musical productions of Rent and See What I Wanna See.
Speaking of Rent, Menzel will take on a solo version of the beloved classic “Seasons of Love” from the iconic Broadway musical in which she was Tony-nominated for her role as Maureen. The remaining holiday songs include: “Sleigh Ride,” “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “Christmas Time Is Here,” the New Year’s Eve tradition, “Auld Lang Syne,” and a tribute to her son with “Walker’s 3rd Hanukkah”.
See the full tracklisting below!
Christmas: A Season of Love serves as Menzel’s second festive recording as she released Holiday Wishes in 2014, which featured a duet with Michael Bublรฉ.
