Concept

With the success of ''Xuxa Park Hits'', from ''

'',

decided to transform it into an independent program on Sunday afternoons under the name ''Xuxa Hits''. During its Sunday show, the attraction counted only with reruns of some editions recorded for the ''Park'' in 1994. The intention was that after the vacations of Xuxa, the program followed in the hour with unpublished editions.

Scenery

The scenery was elaborate, in the center of the stage it had a catwalk with two stairs, and above the catwalk was a completely round entrance of paper where Xuxa came in, rescuing the paper that covered the entrance with the logo of the Xuxa Hits. The stage was like a set of houses, the walls were in black and gray stripes.

Cancellation

Dissatisfied with the program, Xuxa asked for it to be canceled. The presenter argued that making Xuxa Hits an independent program would make Xuxa Park lose the features of a variety show. With the request of Xuxa, the attraction returned to the air like painting of Xuxa Park on April 29, 1995 gaining scenery and exclusive time.
