Pop favorite David Archuleta is bringing festive cheer with his new holiday EP My Only Wish, out November 14. The five-song project features three new originals co-written by Archuleta alongside remastered versions of “Christmas Every Day” and “Winter in the Air.” Its lead single, “Christmas in California,” captures his signature bright pop sound, inspired by time spent in Laguna Beach and filled with breezy, sunlit warmth.
Archuleta says he wanted My Only Wish to reflect where he’s at in life—fun, flirty, and full of feel-good energy. The EP includes a special duet with Jordin Sparks, marking their long-awaited collaboration. “We’ve been talking for years about doing something together,” Archuleta said. “She sounds so incredible. I’m always blown away by her voice.”
To celebrate the release, Archuleta will perform limited holiday shows this December in New York and Los Angeles. Fans can catch him at Joe’s Pub in NYC on December 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14, followed by two nights at The Peppermint Club in L.A. on December 18 and 19. VIP packages include meet-and-greets, signed holiday cards, and exclusive merch.
The My Only Wish EP follows a busy year for Archuleta, who also released his Earthly Delights (Deluxe Edition) and Crème Brulée (Mixes en Español) EPs, as well as co-writing a new song for Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. With millions of fans across platforms, his new holiday collection promises to bring the same mix of heart, hope, and pure pop joy that fans have come to love.
