While Aaron Burr's own thoughts on Christmas are lost to history, we do know that the actor who first played the founding father in Broadway's Hamilton is, to say the least, an enthusiast. The silver-throated Leslie Odom Jr. delivers holiday tidings with a contemporary spin on a sterling pair of seasonally themed releases, 2016's Simply Christmas and, four years later, The Christmas Album. Wise enough to know there's a place for "My Favorite Things" near "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," Odom adds international flavour by introducing Soweto's Mzansi Youth Choir to the "Little Drummer Boy."
