A PROJECT THAT WORKS FOR (AND BEYOND) THE CHRISTMAS SEASON...
Standout Tracks include: "Holiday Celebrate", "Christmas Time Is Here" & "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" (With a Full String Section!). A very nice blend of R&B, Soul, & Pop that can be played well past the Christmas Season. We could have done without the 400th plus version of "The Christmas Song" (There's not to much more that can be done with this song). But overall a great package/production from Toni Braxton. .


Christmas ain't right without it!
I'll admit I'm a huge Toni fan, but this is not only a great Christmas set, its one of her best CDs period. Every year I kick off of the holidays with this CD. I feel a little creepy listening to it June, but sometimes, when the mood hits, I do it anyway.

The first two songs are great but then. . . .
On these numbers, Toni's voice is everything you want it to be: throaty, smoky, seductive and full of life. Toni Braxton's "Snowflakes" starts off with a blast! Braxton seductively pulls you right into the first two songs, "Holiday" and "Christmas in Jamaica" (featuring Shaggy)--both are funky, reggae-inspired upbeat numbers with great melodies that linger in the mind. You can easily see why she was once for an all-too-brief time the most popular singer in the early-to-mid nineties. In fact, these first two numbers are so good that they almost make it worth the price of the CD.

Unfortunately, the rest of the album devolves into the kind of boring middle-of-the-road mush which would not be out of place on an average Kenny G album. The material isn't helped by Braxton's languid delivery. Classics like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song" are included here but they are also undistinguished. Overall, Braxton sounds as if she could do most of the songs on "Snowflakes" in her sleep. .


Dissapointing!
It does not have very many of the much-loved classics on it, most of this cd is crappy, second rate album filler christmas music. This CD is a dissapointment to me. With all the Christmas classics out there, I am not quite sure why Toni felt the need to put so much junk filler music on it. A waste of $15 if you ask me! Some of the songs are a little bit overdone as well. .


This album is SO GOOD ....
This is one of few I HAD to repurchase because Christmas just isn't Christmas unless I hear Toni's Christmas CD. that I'm buying it a 2nd time - we relocated this year & all my Xmas CDs disappeared. Altho I consider myself a TB fan I don't own all of her albums, but this one is a keeper & can be listened to year round. There are very few albums (Christmas or not) that I can listen to from beginning to end, but Toni makes it easy to do here. I love all the new songs as well as TB's rendition of the classics. Snowflakes' original recordings give you a feel for the season just as much as the remakes. When TB begs Santa on "Santa Please" to bring her man home, I wanna contact Santa on her behalf & say get her man home NOW!! If we ever move again, this CD stays with me! Worth every penny - BOTH TIMES I PAID!.
