Winter's Eve is the thirteenth studio album and second Christmas-themed album by Nox Arcana. It was released in 2009 on Monolith Graphics. Apart from traditional music for the Christmas season, the theme of this album evokes a medieval or pagan Yuletide celebration typical of the winter solstice.
With William Piotrowski leaving in 2008 to focus on film scoring, this is the first Nox Arcana album released as a solo project under Joseph Vargo; Piotrowski remains credited as an additional instrumentalist and studio engineer on all of the project's future releases.
