Richards said while arranging the extensive line-up or talent, he took inspiration from Christmas Specials he would view on television as he grew up. These specials offered a variety of music and performances for viewers. 

Richards shared an excerpt of his composition that will be featured during the concert, A Yuletide Rhapsody – We Three Kings.
