In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip of ABC’s A Very Boy Band Holiday special, *NSYNC‘s Joey Fatone and Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris kick off the show with a joyful performance of their new original holiday song — and the harmonizing is out of this world.
“It’s always been so sweet to me to be in such a tight fraternity,” Fatone, 44, says. “So tonight in front of this Christmas tree, it’s boy band holiday.”
“Joe, we’re the group that does Motown Philly, so should I just leave?” Morris, 48, asks. “We’re not a boy band that’s insane.”
“Wan, the word ‘boy’ is in your name,” Fatone responds.
“We were boys, now we’re men,” Morris sings in a way that gives all the feels.
After some convincing from Fatone (and *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick as well as 98 Degrees’ Drew Lachey), Morris agrees to stick around for the Very Boy Band Holiday!
On Nov. 19, ABC announced the special, which will see appearances and performances from members of *NSYNC, New Edition, New Kids On The Block, Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees and O-Town.
The show, set to air Dec. 6, will see the likes of Morris, Fatone and *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, NKOTB’s Joey McIntyre and 98 Degrees’ Drew and Nick Lachey as they all “gather for a nostalgic night of merry hits,” according to a release from ABC.
Other boy band members slated to appear include *NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick, Boyz II Men’s Shawn Stockman, New Edition’s Michael Bivins, O-Town’s Erik-Michael Estrada, and 98 Degrees’ Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre.
Several of the musical heartthrobs, beloved by fans since the ’90s, appeared on social media on Nov. 19 to share a special message promoting the television event in which the singers complemented each other.
