The appearance formed part of G4's nationwide Christmas tour and saw performers aged six to 16 sing alongside the group on a selection of seasonal favourites. The PQA Durham Choir also performed several songs during the concert.

The performance followed six weeks of rehearsals with professional singing teachers.
