Icon Christmas was released in November 2015. I own a copy, it‘s no bootleg, it‘s part of a series of CDs called Icon. It‘s also available on iTunes, just called Christmas
Here's some info on Icon:

I was always a bit confused by this compilation album. It's a legitimate album, but is it considered part of the official Celtic Woman discography? Or is it separate from the main discography and just uses the Celtic Woman branding / tracks?
The distinction becomes relevant when presenting facts about the group (ie. statements like "this is the group's 18th album and 7th Christmas-themed album"). If it's considered an official part of their discography, it changes the official counts for all the group's subsequent albums (including all subsequent Christmas-themed albums) and inconsistent information is one of the things that really irritates the folks at Wikipedia.
The album IS listed on the Celtic Woman site as part of their discography:

... But just looking at that list raises some other questions. Was the German version of the Believe album not an "official" CD in their discography? What about Silent Night? Or O Christmas Tree? A Celtic Family Christmas? Celtic Christmas? Decade? I mean there's a lot of stuff missing from that list that I would personally consider "official."
To compound the confusion, the website also states:
Celtic Woman has sold more than eight million CDs and DVDs, making it the only all-female act to achieve multi-platinum success in the classical crossover and world music genres during the past decade. Named Billboard's #1 World Music Artist of the Year six times, each of its 11 CDs has debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Album chart.11? Lol! There are 14 in their list on the site. Where are they getting these numbers?
I'm going to take a look at some of the album counts that have been documented after that album was released to see if there's a general consensus.
I'm also going to look through the discography for a few of the other artists / groups that have Icon series albums and see if they are included in those official discographies.
