Just in time for the arrival of the album, today (October 28) marks the first-ever PENTATONIX DAY in Los Angeles-as decreed by the Mayor. The city recognized the vocal quintet's contributions to the city over the last decade such as (but not limited to) their formation in 2011 in Los Angeles with the dream of becoming the first mainstream a cappella group in modern times; representing various communities in Los Angeles, including the Latin, Black, and LGBTQ+ communities; and their return to Hollywood by performing at the Hollywood Bowl in celebration of its 100th anniversary, on
September 29, 2022.
The resolution officially states, "the Los Angeles City Council hereby declares October 28, 2022 as "Pentatonix Day" in Los Angeles to acknowledge global impact of
Pentatonix and to extend best wishes to this five-member group."

Regarding the tour and the album, Scott Hoying of
Pentatonix commented, "The holidays have taken on a new meaning for all of us over the past couple of years. We cherish this time of year more than ever. However, we wanted to spread this message as far as possible. That's why we decided to bridge the gap between cultures and genres in a way we never have before. Now, we can't wait to see all of you on the road."
Reaching fans everywhere,
Pentatonix will also premiere their fifth holiday special, Pentatonix: Around the World for the Holidays, streaming exclusively on Disney+ later this fall.
