The sounds of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square floated into many homes during the holidays in the 1960s and '70s on Goodyear and Firestone albums, bringing lush renditions of favorite Christmas carols. Those warm memories and feelings come right back in this holiday special from 2021, in which the choir continues its tradition of great artistry with touching arrangements of familiar carols, and surprises with lesser-known melodies that are fast becoming the new classics.
