12 Blended Christmas Musicals Your Folks Will Love!

12 Blended Christmas Musicals Your Folks Will Love!

What exactly is a "blended" Christmas musical? Well, it's a means to celebrate the coming of Christ with musical elements that engage more traditional congregants as well as those who enjoy a fresh, contemporary approach. Contrary to popular belief, "blended" is not an equal opportunity offender; rather it's how many Discover Worship churches choose to honor the culture and tastes of young and old alike. "Blended" is how the Body of Christ ideally looks and sounds. As such, we're honored to suggest 12 Christmas works with a blended feel for your choir's consideration this season!
