Dan + Shay gave a jolly performance of their new holiday track “Take Me Home For Christmas” during The Voice Season 19 finale on Tuesday (Dec. 15).

“This is our first original Christmas song, and we had a blast writing and recording it,” Dan Smyers previously shared of the song. “It was cool to get in the holiday spirit a little early this year, because I think we could all use some extra positivity and cheer. Our fans have asked for Christmas music every year, so I hope you all have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.”

The award-winning duo brought the song to life while sporting holiday attire as fake snow came down around them. Their festive performance closed with a fireworks display as dancers made their way around the Christmas-themed set.
