Starbucks Holiday CD


Pink Martini was asked by our friends in Seattle to record "Do You Hear What I Hear" for Winter Wonderland, the 2008 Starbucks Holiday CD.
Did you know "Do You Hear What I Hear" was originally written in 1962 as a plea for peace in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Winter Wonderland is available at your local Starbucks store and online at hearmusic.com.
