Gathered together at a karaoke place in Manhattan, the young artists listened to their recordings, watched the promotional music video they shot during this 3-day intensive, and had fun doing what they love the most.

Stars from School of Rock, The Lion King and Matilda among others, launched The Holiday Star Experience Album and a music video to promote their charity collection. According to Eduardo Jimenez Pons (Producer), The album is a joyful mix of pop, rock and jazz versions of Holiday Classics, Broadway and Pop songs, perfect to make the spirits bright on this Holiday Season . Leading the promotional efforts for the album and its cause is the music Video of Train's Shake Up Christmas which was shot in New York City and San Juan, PR.
