Candles, Snow & Mistletoe is the 13th album by popular children's entertainers Sharon, Lois & Bram, originally released in 1993. This holiday album is one of Sharon, Lois & Bram's biggest productions and recordings they worked on during their career. The album is produced by Glen Roven, an Emmy-Award winning producer who has worked with Liza Minnelli. Lyrics were written by Mark Saltzman who also worked with Sesame Street. This album, unlike previous Sharon, Lois & Bram albums, has a Broadway sound to the album. It featured a complete orchestra and was recorded using the same microphones as The Manhattan Transfer. Not only was Candles, Snow & Mistletoe a musical recording, but it was also a CBC Television Special, later released onto video, as well as a Broadway Show. This was Sharon, Lois & Bram's first holiday-themed album that was recorded for the, then newly founded, Drive Entertainment label. The album featured all the lyrics to the songs as well a recipe from each member of the trio. The album became the fastest selling album in their career with initial shipments in excess of 100,000 units. Releases The original release was in 1993 under Elephant Records in Canada, and in 1995 under Drive Entertainment in the United States. The cover features cartoonized versions of the trio and their mascot, elephant out in the snow. In 2000, Casablanca Kids Inc. picked up the publishing rights and it was available under their label, but with the same artwork as the 1993 release. In May 2009, Casablanca Kids Inc. redesigned the cover and renamed the album to 'Family Christmas' because of cataloging issues in libraries and the old name caused confusion when customers asked for the particular album. The 2009 release includes the same songs as the earlier release. 1993 (Elephant Records) Cassette/CD 1995 (Drive Entertainment) Cassette/CD 2000/2001/2008/2009 (Casablanca Kids Inc.)
