If you, like many of us, were already waiting very anxiously forA Very Boy Band Holiday, there’s some good news. *NSYNC’sChris KirkpatrickandJoey Fatoneare leading viewers through what they can expect from the musical event now available to stream on Hulu and on-demand.
Kirkpatrick, clad in red and black plaid, shares with us that the premise of the special is based around several members from various boy bands who are snowed in and have nothing to do but sing together. Sign me up! Fatone adds that most of the bands have their own holiday hits which we can anticipate hearing.
In case you haven’t heard about the loaded lineup of boy bands from years past that take the stage, here are the faces you can expect to see. From *NSYNC, we have Fatone, Kirkpatrick, andLance Bass; from Boyz II Men, we will hear and seeWanya MorrisandShawn Stockman. New Edition starsBobby BrownandMichael Bivinswill also be joining the festivities, withJoey McIntyresolo repping New Kids on the Block alongside O-Town’sErik-Michael Estrada. 98 Degrees’Drew Lachey,Jeff Timmons,Justin Jeffre, andNick Lachey, were all set to make appearances, however, it is revealed by Fatone in the clip that Nick was unable to make the event. Although these were the only names released so far, fans were almost promised a few “special guests,” so if your favorite heartthrob didn’t yet make the list, you’ll still want to tune in just in case they join the others at the snowed-in cabin.

Fatone and Kirkpatrick also set up the special by teasing some boy band “mash-ups” that happen, including previously-announced McIntyre singing with his son and a newly known to us combo group of Morris, Stockman, Brown, and Bivins singing a New Edition song. The former gathering is especially iconic, as Bivins was the person to discover Boyz II Men which was the band’s first big step towards stardom.
So why a boy band holiday extravaganza now? McIntyre asks an even more important question, “Is there anything more joyful than a boy band?” And we couldn’t agree more. If you were away from the screen when the special aired or want to watch it again and again, it’s available now on Hulu as well as on-demand. Check out the full clip below to hear what Fatone and Kirkpatrick say you’ll need when you tune in and don’t forget to wear your favorite boy band concert shirt and clear out some dancing space when you sit down to watchA Very Boy Band Holiday.
