Christmas Broadway CD?

I'm hoping someone here can help me with something. During my trip to New York last month a CD was mentioned that I can't seem to find anywhere. When I went to see Hair, the cast mentioned a Christmas CD available with people from Broadway singing songs on it. I believe they said it included a song by the cast. At Finian's Rainbow I'm almost positive we were told the CD included a track by Terri White. I assumed this was the Broadway Cares Home for the Holidays CD. The problem is that I don't see either of the aforementioned tracks on it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thank you.

Oooooh there we go! Thank you so much, clever name and Jersey Girl2. I can always rely on this wonderful board to answer any questions I have. It's so lovely.

On another note: does anyone have this? Is it any good? I have Broadway Cares Home for the Holidays and although it's not my favorite CD, there are some songs I really do love (Liza and Alan Cumming's duet, for instance).

I picked up the Carols for a Cure 2 CD set after one of the recent performances. It's not terribly Christmas-y. Some unusual tracks (the cast of WSS doing Jingle Bells as if written by Bernstien in the style of "Cool" - its sounds very strange.)

But then my taste in seasonal music runs more towards big spectacular, though traditional styles like the wonderful Charles Gerhardt arrangements for the Royal Philharmonic (for Readers' Digest) and Arthur Harris's similar arrangements for the Philadelphia orchestra (on Columbia.) These I play EVERY year. I won't be playing Carols for a Cure much.
