Very cool! Now we know why they're in Germany! I had been curious since they mentioned it on instagram last week.

I just watched the show! I'm not exactly a fan of German Schlager and Volksmusik, but it was generally very nice and Christmassy. Every artist was very, very friendly, and since they performed Christmas music, they mostly sounded really good. There were some really nice songs, and some were, well, okay. Celtic Woman came on in the very end. The staging was really green and Irish for them, and they performed Joy to the World in a really nice, fairly mild and gentle way. Then they talked a little, and since very performing guest had brought a Christmas related decoration or memorabilia, they brought warm socks. Tara explained that they toured the entire month before Christmas and that, when they finally came home, they love to put on warm socks and sit by the fire with their family. Then they sang a shortened version of O Come All Ye Faithful with the host, Stefanie Hertel. In the end, all singers performed two final songs together, but Celtic Woman had no solo lines.

And in case anyone's wondering, they sounded even more amazing on the Best of Christmas tour!
