My Experience Listening to Idina Menzel Album Holiday Wishes:

Idina Menzel is an amazing vocalist and this album contains great, classic songs. With that combination you just cannot go wrong. As far as my personal preference, I loved some of the songs while some have never appealed to me. I especially enjoyed the sassy and flirty duet with Michael Buble of "Baby It's Cold Outside". I always find this song kitschy and fun and Menzel and Buble do not disappoint! I also loved Menzel's beautiful interpretation of "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
