Luvassa on harvinaislaatuinen ilta kahden suomalaisen ammatti- big bandin siivittämänä. Ensimmäistä kertaa samalle lavalle nousevat UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra ja Ilmavoimien Big Band saavat solisteikseen laulajat Antti Koivulanja Elena Mindrun. Jos big band on iso, on kaksi big bandia tuplasti!
Ohjelmassa on tunnettuja joululauluja kotimaasta ja maailmalta big bandeille sovitettuna. Ilmavoimien Big Bandin ja Antti Koivulan repertuaarissa on vauhdikkaita pop-rock-joululauluja Brian Setzeristä EWF:ään ja James Browniin. UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestran eteen ensimmäistä kertaa nouseva Elena Mindru taas tulkitsee amerikkalaisia swing- ja jazz- joululauluja mm. Ella Fitzgeraldilta ja Frank Sinatralta. Tämä on ennen näkemätön joulushow, jossa kaksi Suomen parasta big bandia esiintyvät myös yhteisnumeroissa!
