History
Following the success of her multi-awarded Latin album, Mi Tierra, Estefan recorded a collection of all Christmas songs released in the early autumn of 1993. The collection contains mostly traditional songs along with the title track, an original song written by Estefan and Diane Warren. The title track was previously released with a different instrumental arrangement on Estefan's 1992 Greatest Hits album, and it was released as a double a-side single with "Miami Hitmix" in Europe. The Spanish-language song called "Arbolito de Navidad" is also included.
Gloria Estefan, who had found worldwide success singing pop and dance songs, is accompanied by a Big Band on the song "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and sings a Jazz-inspired rendition of "This Christmas". Music videos were filmed and released for the songs, "This Christmas" and "Silent Night", available on the video-collection Everlasting Gloria!.
