***In a Winter Light*** is the third studio album by English comedian and actor [Alexander Armstrong](/source/Alexander_Armstrong). It was released on 24 November 2017 as Armstrong's first Christmas album, and was recorded with the City of Prague Orchestra, Choir of New College Oxford, RAF Squadronaires Big Band and [Jools Holland](/source/Jools_Holland).[1] It peaked at number 24 on the [UK Albums Chart](/source/UK_Albums_Chart),[2] achieving less commercial success than his first two albums. *In a Winter Light* contains two compositions written by Armstrong himself, "I Still Believe In Christmas" and "This Glorious Morrow".[3]

## Critical reception

*In a Winter Light* was met with mainly positive reviews from the professional arts journalism website [The Arts Desk](/source/The_Arts_Desk), who called it "a pleasantly traditional affair". They said, "Unfortunately, Armstrong's [baritone](/source/Baritone) is not suited to everything. Take "White Winter Hymnal" by [Fleet Foxes](/source/Fleet_Foxes). The original was an ethereal piece of folk-rock. This choral version is so mannered it's almost like an [Armstrong and Miller](/source/Armstrong_and_Miller) comedy sketch."[4]
