2008 To Present
In November 2008, Wilson Phillips reunited on stage for two shows in California. The shows were not publicized heavily, but were very well received by the audiences. Songs from a new album to be released in 2010 were performed. These 90-minute shows were the longest the group have ever performed, and featured tracks from throughout their career, as well as some covers of Beach Boys and ABBA classics.
On August 21, 2010, Wilson Phillips announced their new Christmas album, Christmas in Harmony, which was released on October 12, 2010. The album yielded a single, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday," a cover of the popular seasonal tune that first was a hit in 1973 for English glam-rock band Wizzard. As of April 12, 2012 this album had sold 71,286 copies in the US according to SoundScan.
The band appeared in a cameo and performed "Hold On" in the 2011 film Bridesmaids.
Bandmember Chynna Phillips was a contestant on Season 13 of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, and explained that "Hold On" was written by her and bandmates Carnie and Wendy Wilson about her recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Phillips was eliminated after week 4.
On March 20, 2012, the group appeared on QVC to promote their 2012 release Dedicated, a new studio album made up of covers of songs by both The Beach Boys and The Mamas and the Papas.

On April 7, they appeared on the CBS This Morning|Saturday with Rebecca Jarvis & Jeff Glor to perform some music from the album.
They completed their own reality show, Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On, which appeared on TV Guide Network in April 2012.
