"Christmas for me has always been about love and one of the ways I express my feelings of love is through song," said Shea. "Since I was a young boy, I longed to spend Christmas in New York, so to now be in this magical city at the most magical time of the year singing the most wonderful songs of the season, is truly a dream come true. When you bring a show to New York, you are bringing it to the world. I hope to bring laughter, unity and joy to all cultures and religions."

In 2012, Shea released his holiday album presented by Lost Gold Records, the Broadway Gold Edition entitled "Every Day's Christmas." The album included a co-written original song "The Christmas I Met You." In addition to charting internationally, this single hit Number One on the Adult Contemporary Charts, Number Three on the Christmas Singles Chart, and an impressive Number Sixty-One on the Merry Christmas Network Top 100 Christmas Songs of All Time list in its first year of release. "The Christmas I Met You" also made the first Grammy ballot for Song of the Year on the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.
