03:44Welcome to Dancing with the Stars
03:46I'm Alfonso Ribeiro
03:47And I'm Julianne Huck
03:49Tonight, after a record-breaking season
03:51We're dancing with the holidays
03:53That's right, we've decked the halls because tonight there is no competition
03:58No judging, just pure entertainment to get us into this festive time of year
04:03So grab a cup of cocoa and settle in for music from Petatonix, new performances from our pros
04:09And some magical memories from seasons past
04:13Up first, a special gift from one of our favorite ballroom families
04:17Jenna Johnson and Val Smirkovsky
04:19And a special guest in his ballroom debut
04:22Oh, I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
04:51Underneath the mistletoe
04:53Underneath the mistletoe last night
04:58She didn't see me creep down the stairs to have a pee
05:06She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
05:13Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
05:22Underneath his beard so snowy white
05:28What a laugh it would have been
05:33If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
05:47Jenna and Val
05:49With their special guest, their son, Rome
06:08Give it up for him!
06:09Yeah, Rome!
06:10High five, my man!
06:12Woo!
06:13Yeah
06:14All right Jenna, what's it like seeing all of this holiday magic through Rome's eyes?
06:19It is so special being a parent and getting to witness the holidays with a kid
06:24You love it?
06:25Do you want to say hi?
06:26Mm-hmm
06:27Say, what's up?

14:40Oh, Santa, if you get this letter, won't you help me out?
14:45I know you're kind of busy with your elves right now
14:47And I don't know how
14:49The good things you do when I sleep on Christmas Eve
14:53But it's amazing
14:55And I bet that you could bring me back my baby
14:58Because every time I see Christmas lights
15:01I feel it's fun inside and I just can't take it
15:05I saw that the shop and I see
15:08Can't you see what I felt like so big
15:11And then it's a war to myself
15:14Santa's gonna come and make it mine this Christmas night

16:10And Alfonso, come on, you've got your whole family here.
16:13Angela, Anders, AJ, and of course, Ava.
16:17All right, so Angela, what are your plans for the holidays?
16:20So we are going to the Arctic in Northern Finland,
16:23and we're going to see the real Santa in Santa's village.
16:27And we're going to ride some reindeer sleigh rides
16:29and the whole bit.
16:31All right, I've said this before,
16:32but can I be a part of your family?
16:33Because that sounds amazing.
16:35You're already part of the family.
16:36I know, I know, you know that.
16:38All right, what did you think of your dad's dancing?
16:41Uh, out of the 10, like a six.
16:44What about you?
16:46Seven, six, seven.
16:48Seven, that's pretty harsh, Alfonso, I'm not going to lie.
16:51Ava, now, I know that you are a dancer.
16:54Do you have any moves of your own?
16:56Yeah.
16:57Can we see them?
17:05Woo-hoo!
17:07All right, well, it is so great to see Alfonso here tonight.
17:11Yeah, good job.
17:12I hope that you have the best holidays ever.
17:14All right.
17:15Now, here's a little ballroom trivia for you.
17:18One of our pros got her start on Dancing with the Stars, Juniors.
17:22Can you guess who is going on a sleigh ride?
17:24Well, the answer when we come back.
17:26Woo!
17:38Welcome back.
17:39Before the break, we asked if you could identify this current pro
17:43from her first appearance in the ballroom.
17:45Well, have you guessed?
17:47It's Riley Arnold when she made her debut as a young pro dancer
17:52on Dancing with the Stars, Juniors.

27:34Riley.
27:35Beauty.
27:37Brit Stewart.
27:38Brit.
27:38Brit, for sure.
27:39Brit is gonna be on the nice list.
27:41That's nice.
27:43Why?
27:44They're gonna suck up to me.
27:47Most likely to bribe the judges with cookies.
27:51That one's mean.
27:51I don't even know why I haven't thought of that myself.
27:54Jenna?
27:55I can kind of see her doing that.
27:57Are you kidding me?
27:59I mean, I do have a good bribe.
28:02I'm gonna get canceled.
28:04ha-ha-ha.
28:07Ah.

28:09OK.
28:09So Brandon isn't the only one who likes a good bribe.
28:13Right now, we've got a special holiday treat that was choreographed by Allen for our Pennsylvania
28:19ABC affiliate, WPVI-TV.
28:22performance originally appeared as part of their Thanksgiving Day Parade coverage
28:26back in 2023 and has never been seen outside of the region.
28:30So, here are our pros.
28:52Presence, what a beautiful sight, don't mean a thing if you ain't holding your tight.
28:58You're all that I need, underneath the tree tonight.
29:06I'm gonna hold you close, make sure that you know I was lost before you.
29:17Christmas was cold and grey, another holiday, alone to celebrate.
29:28And then, one day, everything changed, you're all in need, underneath the tree.
29:37You're here, where you should be, snow is falling as the characters sing, it just wasn't the same.
29:46Alone on Christmas Day, presents, what a beautiful sight, don't mean a thing if you ain't holding your tight.
29:55You're all that I need, underneath the tree tonight.
30:05Santa Allen with Britt, Coco, and Jenna.
30:08So glad we got to share that with all of you.
30:11And we've got something else to share, it's our favorite holiday performance together, and it's next.
30:18Mm-hmm.
30:19My holiday message to the fans is celebrate with your loved ones and dance the night away.
30:33To our Dancing with the Stars family and all of the fans, we wish you nothing but love, joy, and happiness this holiday season.
30:40And keep dancing.
30:41My holiday message to the fans, life is quick, it moves fast.
30:45Love on the folks that are closest to you, and enjoy your holiday season.
30:51Season greetings to you.
30:53Great to see all of you.
30:55Our holiday celebration wouldn't be complete without a moment we shared with some former champions on our first season together.
31:02I remember like it was 2023.
31:06Here's Santa Claus is coming to town.
31:08Santa Claus is coming to town.
31:38He's making a list, he's checking it twice.
31:44He's gonna find out who's not young guys.
31:48Santa Claus is coming to town.
31:51Santa Claus is coming to town.
31:54Yeah, Santa Claus is coming to town.
32:00He sees you when you're sleeping.
32:04He knows when you're awake.
32:06He knows if you've been bad or good.
32:10So good to help him miss him.
32:13Hey!
32:14You better watch out, you better not cry.
32:17Better not cry.
32:18Come, I'm telling you why
32:20Santa Claus is coming to town
32:24Santa Claus is coming to town
32:27Santa Claus is coming to town
32:32Oh, yeah
32:34Woo!
32:48Santa Claus is coming to town
32:54Santa Claus is coming to town
32:58Santa Claus is coming to town
33:02Santa Claus is coming to town

33:17And featuring champions Elio Castroneves
33:20Hannah Brown and Rashad Jennings
33:22And us
33:23And us
33:24Yes, it meant so much to me to get to dance with Whitney again
33:27And you, Julianne
33:28It was the best
33:29That performance was all about the red boots
33:32Oh, you know I always choose the red boots
33:34Well, now, Alan choreographed another performance
33:38Just for tonight's holiday celebration
33:40Here is the story of the dance he created to celebrate his faith
33:44Thank you so much for all being part of this performance
33:48We got a lot of work to do
33:49We need a miracle
33:51Let's do it!
33:52Everyone celebrates holidays in a different way
33:55Growing up Jewish, you don't really see a lot of Hanukkah representation
33:58So tonight we're doing a special performance to celebrate Hanukkah
34:02Alright, let's get into it
34:03This first move represents a menorah
34:05Nice
34:06A menorah is the candelabra
34:08We're gonna go one, two, eight nights of Hanukkah
34:12So there's eight candles
34:13This is what we call a Hora
34:15You just run around in a circle like this
34:17I like that
34:18It symbolizes celebrating one another, yeah
34:19We are doing fun surprises that if you're Jewish, you would definitely recognize
34:24All the kids play with the dreidel
34:26We have a move that resembles a spinning top
34:29It's gonna be really effective if we can nail it
34:31Three, four, let's do that
34:33Hopefully, a Jewish kid's watching this and they feel seen and they feel proud
34:38Papa!
34:40Hey!
34:41So get ready for Dancing with the Stars first
34:43A Hanukkah celebration like you've never seen before
34:46Hanukkah!
35:08Feel the struggle
35:09Keep on moving through all this hustle
35:10Head up, head down, through all of the bustle
35:12New York City wanna flex your muscle
35:15Look so down, look so puzzled
35:17Hundle round your fire through all the rubble
35:19Bound to stumble and fall
