The video was filmed at The Sherman Theater in East Stroudsburg, PA and features soaring jib and drone shots, showcasing the full power of the WIZARDS OF WINTER on-stage holiday experience. The video is directed by Tommy Jones of Videohammer Studios.

Music director/keyboardist Scott Kelly states, "The concept of the video taking place inside a snow globe closely aligns to the live production of our holiday rock opera (see below for more information). The libretto, presented by our narrator at the concerts, asks the audience to join us aboard the Arctic Flyer as we journey inside the snow globe in search of the true meaning of Christmas."

"The Spirit of Christmas" and several other timeless tracks can be heard on the band's upcoming album, The Magic of Winter, produced by Eric Rachel at Traxeast (Symphony X, Skid Row, Styx). The album hits stores on November 12, 2015. Pre-order here: http://wizardsofwinter.com/store

About WIZARDS OF WINTER: The WIZARDS OF WINTER are an eclectic group of musicians from the NY/NJ/PA tri-state region who perform classical and progressive-influenced rock music woven throughout a theatrical holiday-themed event. While the group's style is undoubtedly inspired by the genius of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO), the WIZARDS OF WINTER are far from a TSO tribute band. The the Wizards' original material is very unique and has a broad audience appeal, applied in a more intimate setting.

As a testament to the virtuosity of the group, several original members of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra have joined the WIZARDS OF WINTER on their musical journey. Currently performing with the group are Guy LeMonnier and Tony Gaynor. Tommy Farese and Michael Lanning, also former members of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, have performed with the band on occasion as well.

WIZARDS OF WINTER is:

• Scott Kelly - Music Director, Keyboards
• Steve Ratchen - Bass
• Sharon Kelly - Flute, Vocals
• Fred Gorhau - Guitar
• Mary McIntrye - Keyboards, vocals
• Tommy Ference - Drums
