In partnership with Acura, Chase Freedom and REVOLVE, the star-studded show will be hosted by Lance Bass and feature legendary music director Rickey Minor. The celebration will include live musical performances by Ryan Tedder, Maren Morris, Rachel Platten, Robin Thicke, Jesse McCartney, Abi Carter and Sheléa, all singing beloved holiday classics from the likes of Christmas icons Nat King Cole and Dean Martin.

Guests will also be treated to special performances from Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA and Asher Entertainment, a very merry welcome from Santa Claus, a flurry of picture-perfect snowfall, the lighting of The Grove’s iconic 100-foot white fir Christmas tree and an enchanting drone and fireworks finale.
