"We're thrilled to be joined by fan favorites like the Backstreet Boys for this live event as our own special holiday experience for shoppers looking for extra cheer this season."
Surprises Around Every Corner
The JCP Live Holiday Spectacular offers an hour of back-to-back games with the Backstreet Boys, from guessing "Who's the Most Likely To...," to completing an obstacle course dressed as snowmen, learning the steps to the latest TikTok dance trend from a 10-year-old dancing phenom, and recreating the hottest seasonal makeup tutorials on bandmates. Following their live performances, the Backstreet Boys will answer questions submitted by the audience in a live Q&A ? so come with your questions ready!
"Nothing ushers in the holiday spirit more than music, and we can't wait to share our new music video with the world," said the Backstreet Boys. "Our hope is to add a little more holiday joy to the season, while also indulging in friendly competition, lots of laughs and helping JCPenney support Feeding America at the JCP Live Holiday Spectacular!"
