Sounds of the Season: The Enya Collection is the fourth EP[1] 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). It was renamed Christmas Secrets EP for its four-track Canadian release by Warner Bros. and Warner Music Canada.
