Critical Role – Winter's Crest (A Holiday Album)
Winter's Crest, a beloved in-universe holiday celebrated across Tal'Dorei, commemorates the alliance that defeated the ice elemental Errevon the Rimelord. A time for community, lights, feasts, and games, this festival is beautifully captured in these tracks, bringing the warmth and joy of the season to fans everywhere. Whether you celebrate like those in Tal'Dorei or whether you have your own traditions to mark the end of the year, we hope these songs ring in a wondrous new year for you and your loved ones. Building on the success of Welcome to Tal'Dorei and Welcome to Wildemount, Scanlan Shorthalt Music's third album continues to spotlight Critical Role's innovative storytelling and worldbuilding, and brings the festive spirit of Tal'Dorei to your home. Winter's Crest (A Holiday Album) features performances by the Critical Role cast as themselves and as their iconic characters from Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells.
