So, what exactly is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra you ask? It is a rock group that incorporates the musical style of classical, orchestral, symphonic, and progressive elements into hard rock and heavy metal. They are most famous for their Christmas themed series of rock operas including Christmas Eve and Other Stories, The Christmas Attic, and The Lost Christmas Eve.
