User blog:BeccaSchmecca/Adoration in Real Life: Xmas Wishes Mini-Tour

Xmas Wishes Mini-Tour was the first mini-tour by American girl group Adoration, in support of their first EP, Xmas Wishes.

Background and development
Adoration paused their Work Together Tour May 17 and July 2, 2010 in order to record their Christmas EP Xmas Wishes, which was released on November 5. Tickets for the mini-tour went on sale the day after the EP's release. Each show started between 5:00 and 7:00 in the evening.

The group released two (2) singles from the EP, each with an accompanying music video: "Xmas Wishes" (the title track) and "This Christmas", originally by Donny Hathaway.

Set list
Adoration performed all six (6) songs from Xmas Wishes, as well as a remix of the title track along with the three (3) singles from Work Together, thus mixing Christmas music with their teen-pop repertoire.

 * 2) "Feliz Navidad" (José Feliciano cover)
