Winter Carols is a studio album by the American & UK folk rock band Blackmore's Night. This Christmas-inspired album was released in the United Kingdom in October, 2006 and in the United States on November 7, 2006. The cover artwork for this album, painted by Karsten Topelmann, is an adaptation of a street in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, in line with the band's heavy Renaissance influence. The same street is portraited in the cover of Blackmore's Night's second studio album, Under a Violet Moon. In the cover of "Winter Carols" the street is painted as winter time, whereas Under a Violet Moon's cover takes place on apparently a summer night.
