Read about pinning man 5 apt_preferences
You need somthing like this (untested) in your /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
Then apt-get update with the right entries in your sources.list and
apt-get dist-upgrade it. Have fun while digging through various problems.
Another way (maybe better) might be just to revert the sources.list to
testing and then stick with it and wait until new packages pop up in
unstable and later in testing. This will take some time to get you back
to testing.
