Sounds of the Season: The Enya Holiday Collection is the fourth extended play (EP) from the Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 28 November 2006 exclusively in the United States in Target stores by Rhino Custom Products and NBC Universal. The EP is a collection of six Christmas songs, four of which were included in the Special Christmas Edition of Enya's sixth studio album, Amarantine (2005). It was renamed Christmas Secrets EP for its four-track Canadian release by Warner Bros. and Warner Music Canada.
In 2006, Enya was approached by the Target Corporation to record an extended play of Christmas songs that would be exclusively released in its stores across the United States. Enya accepted, and produced the EP in partnership with NBC. It was first announced on the official Enya message board on 10 October 2006. To promote it, Enya performed "The Magic of the Night" and "It's in the Rain" for the Christmas in Rockefeller television show on 29 November 2006.
All music by Enya; all lyrics by Roma Ryan; all tracks produced by Nicky Ryan (Except tracks 2, 4 and 5 are composed by Enya and Roma Ryan and tracks 1, 3, and 6 are traditional, arr. Enya and Nicky Ryan).
