Although it may not snow in San Jose this year, that doesn’t mean the winter holidays aren’t in full force. Take, for example, “Cool Yule,” a classic orchestral twist on the popular holiday tunes from years past.

Not only might there be a revamped and exciting version of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” but this mellow evening out could be the perfect festive start to the holiday season.
