Tarja recorded three new Christmas songs for an album produced by Olli Ahvenlahti, "Maailman Kauneimmat Joululaulut" (English: "The World's Most Beautiful Christmas Songs"), a charity project for missionary workers in Finland.
The album, featuring artists like Jari Sillanpää, Irina, Veeti Kallio, Maria Lund and Mikko Kuustonen, was released in Finland on the 18th of November, and the songs sung by Tarja were "Heinillä Härkien", "Maa On Niin Kaunis" and "Arkihuolesi Kaikki Heitä", a duet with Veeti Kallio. These songs, combined with a choir, managed once again to attract attention on Tarja's amazing voice, and to arouse even more interest in her classical projects.
The three songs were also included on a special single.
Eight Christmas concerts will also take place in December, one of them in Helsinki, promoting the album.
