“Heaven in December” is a cinematic sacred experience — a journey through snow, candlelight, and faith.
Each song blends orchestral warmth, deep choral reverb, and subtle Christmas nostalgia.
The progression moves from silence and awe (Silent Night) through joy and divine revelation (O Holy Night, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing) into peaceful closure (O Little Town of Bethlehem).

The sound is cathedral meets film score: every bell, string, and harmony evokes timeless winter serenity.
The album’s goal — to recreate the feeling of standing in a quiet church while snow falls outside and light flickers through stained glass.
