Music groups similar to Mannheim Steamroller?

Hi! I'm a huge Mannheim Steamroller fan, and own several of their albums. Unfortunately, I am beginning to slowly run out of Fresh Aire albums to pick up (I have three more left, I, II, and IV). My parents own their Christmas Albums, so they aren't really something I'm interested in getting in the near future. So are there any bands with similar styles or music to Mannheim Steamroller that people could reccomend I check out? Thanks!

Opinions may vary, but I feel that Yanni is similar. I think Esteban might be in the same groove as well, what with his Christmas song re-workings as well as his general orchestrations. Other than that, you'd be hard pressed to find a group similar to Mannheim Steamroller!

maybe TransSiberian Orchestra...

perhaps?

I liked their first C'mas album, not as much their second, nor do I know of any others

also perhaps Vangelis?
