Sounds of the Season: The Enya Holiday Collection is the fourth extended play (EP) from the Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 28 November 2006 exclusively in the United States in Target stores by Rhino Custom Products and NBC Universal. The EP is a collection of six Christmas songs, four of which were included in the Special Christmas Edition of Enya's sixth studio album, Amarantine (2005).
