2017 Christmas tour
Angelina toured Norway giving a series of Christmas concerts in December 2017. She was joined by the musical group The Real Thing and the singer Sigrid Brennhaug. They performed 15 concerts in 19 days (see below), in churches and entertainment venues around Norway.
Performances
Though no recording of an entire concert is known, there are hints that allow to reconstruct the general setlist pattern. A review article describes the Stavanger City Hall concert:[1]
- "She sings 3 songs, including "Crazy", [...]. She has also published her own book, from which she reads a small excerpt. She then hands over the stage to Sigrid Brannhaug, who goes through a few songs, [...]
- When Angelina enters the stage again, she performs "All I want for Christmas is you" [...] "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" [...] Angelina said that one of the songs that started the adventure was "Fly me to the moon" and then continued with "Can't help falling in love" by Elvis, [...] She finished with "Let it snow" and "The Christmas song" [...] So together with Sigrid, the song "O Holy Night" was performed as an encore [...]"
In a video from an unidentified concert hall location, Angelina sings "Mary's Boy Child", "Crazy", and "Wish Upon a Star" in a row, apparently in the first of her two parts.[2] A video (from a different location) with a fragment of "What a Diff'rence a Day Made" ends with a the starting notes of "Mary's Boy Child", so that likely came first when performed.[3]
A video from the Lillestrøm Church shows that she sang there "All I Want for Christmas Is You", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", "Fly Me to the Moon", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", "The Christmas Song", and "Silent Night" in a row (the latter two with Sigrid), apparently in her second part of the concert.[4] A video from the Strømsø Church shows that there she performed in addition "White Christmas" before "Fly Me to the Moon".[5]
Another video from a different location shows her performing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" together with Sigrid. This might have been a different start to the second part of Angelina's parts, as Sigrid was already on the stage when the video starts, and Angelina joins her.[6]

Not in official announcements
Interestingly, a 2017-10-13 article published by a Lillestrøm newspaper described the tour as consisting of 15 concerts ("15 konserter lange juleturneen") over 3 weeks ("i den tre uker lange turneen"), but gives the same first and last concerts (14 days apart) listed above ("starter i Stavanger Konserthus 8. desember og med avslutning 22. desember i Moss kirke"),[10] while a 2017-11-17 article published by a newspaper in Drammen, Norway, lists the following additional 5 concerts, which would bring the total to 15 and extend the tour to 3 weeks.[11] There is footage availalbe from all of these concerts.[12]
