There’s another exciting holiday special coming our way soon, and this one’s called A Very Boy Band Holiday. The upcoming ABC event will feature stars from iconic boy bands such as *NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, and more.
‘A Very Boy Band Holiday’ to Feature Some of Our Favorite Stars
Three members of *NSYNC — Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass — will appear on A Very Boy Band Holiday, as well as Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman. Bobby Brown and Michael Bivins will be there to represent New Edition, as well as NKOTB’s Joey McIntyre, and O-Town’s Erik-Michael Estrada.
And 98 Degrees fans are in for a treat, as all four members of the iconic ’90s boy band will be present during the special. That includes Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre. The Lacheys are no strangers to talent shows, as they both competed on Dancing with the Stars (Drew won his season), and Lachey won last season of The Masked Singer.
The men will revisit holiday favorites, as well as a new original song titled “A Very Boy Band Holiday,” performed by Joey Fatone and Wanya Morris. Joey McIntyre and his son Griffin will be singing “This One’s For The Children.” And *NSYNC fans can rest easy knowing there will also be a performance of “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.”
