Christmas Wish (EP) (2001)

Christmas Wish is a Christmas extended play by American singer and songwriter Stacie Orrico, released on October 9, 2001 by ForeFront Records. This six-track EP includes one original song, the title song, written by Bob Farrell. The five remaining tracks are covers of traditional holiday songs. It was released after the success of her 2000 debut album Genuine. Christmas Wish peaked at number 28 on the Top Christian Albums and number 26 on the Top Holiday Albums charts in Billboard magazine.

In 2003, Christmas Wish was reissued in Japan by ForeFront and Virgin Records. The EP added two extra Christmas tracks: "The Christmas Song" and "What Are Doing New Year's Eve."
