December 16, 2007: Steven has had a busy few weeks performing in three more shows. First up was the Wynonna on Ice where he performed to "Heaven Help My Heart" and "Is It Over Yet." He said Wynonna was great and her performance was really inspirational. Next was Boitano's show in California where he performed his classic Tom Jones program to "Thunderball" and "It Never Rains In Southern California" by Barry Manilow. The show was outdoors and it was loads of fun for the cast. Lastly it was the Holiday Festival where he performed his programs first debuted at Holiday Celebration: "I Believe in Father Christma" and "Happy Elf" both to great crowd reponse.

November 22, 2007: Steven performed in Holiday Celebration on Ice on November 6th in Las Vegas. Steven's first number was "I Believe in Father Christma" by Greg Lake, a very lyrical piece. His second was just the opposite, a high energy silly piece to "Happy Elf" by Harry Connick Jr. The opening and closing numbers were also skated to Clay Aiken's live musical performance of "It's That Time of Year" and "What Are You Doing New Years Eve?." Holiday Celebration on Ice will air December 25th on NBC from 2:00 - 4:00 PM EST.
Next it was off to Atlantic City, NJ to perform in Fashion on Ice, where top designers provided the costumes. Steven's first number was a rocking piece "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis. His costume was done by Heatherette and featured creme pants striped in teal and a teal t-shirt with a silk-screenen man's chest. An interesting look for sure. His second number was "Atlantic" by Keane that featured a different desinger (sorry, forgot who!) and consisted of dark blue jeans and a red checked shirt. Fasion on Ice will air January 20th on NBC from 4:00 - 6:00 PM EST
