Dark plaid for the holidays. I love it.

Man, I love spending time with family
on the holidays, and you, too, Joey.
Thanks, Chris. [ Laughter ]
We always spend ‐‐ But that's the thing, you know?
We were always on the road, but now ‐‐
We were on the road.
Now we have families of our own,
so we start our own traditions.
Yeah! What do you do for the holidays?
I mean, dude, I mean, you know, it's amazing.
Being a young child, you know, we always have
different traditions, you know, with your parents,
and now it's cool that my parents, you know,
bringing that kind of tradition kind of on,
I do like the Seven Fishes kind of thing,
I'm doing, like, this Italian dinner thing,
we do all the sauce, the meatballs.
Nice. We do, like, the Italian dinners
when we do get together.
So it's great. A lot of food.
Kids are back from college.
What about you, Chris?
I do ‐‐ I'm in Tennessee,
so I got a little, tiny kid now.
How old is he now?
And ‐‐ He's 4,
and I get to start what you guys have already got to start,
and that's our own traditions and saying,
"Hey, this, when you grow up, you're gonna love this."
We get to start our own, the stockings,
Elf on the Shelf, all those little things.
It's a lot of fun.
What about you, Wan?
Well, we actually just,
you know, relax around the house.
You know, we ‐‐
I haven't celebrated Christmas in a long time.
I do Hanukkah. Okay.
But my wife does Christmas,
and I do Hanukkah.
And so we created "Hanumas."
Hanumas. We use the colors of Hanukkah.
We use the blue and the whites
and the silvers and all that type of stuff.
So that means you get more gifts?
The stars, we do the menor‐‐ Oh, yeah, we get eight days.
And the kids get the best of both worlds. Eight days ‐‐
Eight days of gifts, whatever you want.
It's an awesome occasion. It's beautiful.
It's called Hanumas, y'all.
How about you, Joey?
Do you still spend the holidays in Boston, or...?
Well, we're back in Hollywood now,
but Boston will always be my hometown, of course.
And, you know, we got the best bands.
You know, there's us and ‐‐

Hey!
Wow.

We apologize.
We a little late.
We couldn't find it. He was driving.
We kept going around and around,
and we said, "B, that looks like the house right there.
What you think?"
It had to be the house.
Had to be the house.
Glad you found it. Glad you found it. Yeah.
It's pretty cool you brought your son with you.
If y'all don't mind, I would like to sing a song

Be good, little dude.
All right.
What I remember most about the holidays or about Christmas,
listening to music and the holiday music.
You know what I mean? Of course.
But some of those songs don't make any sense whatsoever.
What do you mean?
Oh, no. Know what I'm saying?
They're weird. Like...
♪ All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth ♪
♪ My two front teeth ♪
♪ Oh, my two front teeth ♪
Exactly! Exactly.
If you don't have your two front teeth,
you want your two front teeth.
Bro, but, like, what kid asks for body parts for Christmas?
What if you just want to eat an apple?
I mean, you don't have two front teeth.
You got the chompers in the back.
What about "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"? Mm.
♪ Grandma got run over by a reindeer ♪
♪ Walking home from our house Christmas Eve ♪
Yeehaw!
Morris: That's a horrible song.
It's morbid, it's macabre.
Well, that one's morbid, that one's morbid,
but I got one that's actually even funnier
because it's happy, it's go‐lucky,
it's "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas."
♪ I want a hippopotamus for Christmas ♪
♪ Only a hippopotamus will do ♪
Uh, you're alone on that one, bro. What?
You never heard that song before, dude?
How do you wrap a hippopotamus?
That's ‐‐ That's enough for you, bro.
That's enough. That one didn't last.
It's a good song.
Appreciate you, but there's one holiday song that,
I have to say,
I have a major, major issue with.
I mean, more than any of the other ones.
Okay.
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."
What's wrong with that, though?
That's a classic.
First of all, your mom is kissing Santa Claus.
Where is your dad?
Right. It never explains.
Like, come on, think about it.
Well...

Hey, hey. Nick: What's up, fellas?

Boy Band Holiday's been a lot of fun.

but, you know, good people, good music, good times.
I am so bummed I'm missing this thing.
It looks incredible.
Well, we hung your stocking up,
so it's kind of like you're here anyway.

You've always been my favorite.
I don't care what Mom says.
Wait. What ‐‐ What ‐‐ What did ‐‐
What'd Mom say?
Alright, man, happy holidays!
No, but seriously ‐‐ Bye, Nick!
Sorry, bad ‐‐ bad connection.
I'm ‐‐ I'm losing you.
I'm ‐‐ I'm losing you, but alright.
Take it easy, yep, bye, bye!
He didn't want to talk to me?
I don't think he likes you.
He doesn't like you, either.
Hey, guys, I know you guys are having fun.
Can you ‐‐ Can you come sit here?
We're having a conversation about something.
‐Yeah. ‐Come on.
‐Alright. ‐Have a seat, fellers.
So, we were talking about the rivalries
between the boy bands. Oh, yeah.
Y'all had one with kind of, like, the Backstreet?
Who?
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, the Backstreet Boys.
It was between the fans.
Right, right. A kid starts to grow up,
and one kid goes, "Hey, I like the Backstreet Boys,"
and the other kid goes, "Well, I don't want
to like what they like, so I'm gonna like NSYNC
or 98 Degrees or O‐Town."
I'm not gonna lie, though. When I saw, you know,
album sales hit a certain mark, I was like, "Okay.
Now we gotta ‐‐ we gotta ‐‐ We gotta ‐‐ Come on."
Music stores, we'd see this big display of NSYNC,
and then we'd go, "Well, where's our...?"
And we're rifling through ‐‐ "Here it is!"
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait. You guys could walk into music stores?
‐Oh! ‐Exactly.
Honestly, this is proof positive.
We enjoy each other's music,
and, you know, we respect each other
because we all have that fraternal walk
that no one else really knows what we went through.
This is something special,
and we went through, especially in that era,
that was such a special time for music.
And it was a lot of records being sold.
Estrada: For my band, obviously,
I was put together on ABC on "Making the Band."
Right. So these guys had already been ‐‐
you know, Backstreet and NSYNC,
we were part of the same management team for a while,
and, you know, we came into the game,
and we just had these guys to look up to.
Kirkpatrick: Well, I will tell you, though,
if we would've had to audition for our bands,
we wouldn't have made it.
[ Laughter ]
So that's why we had to put ourselves together.
Nobody wanted us, so we're like,
"Alright, let's do this ourselves."
He put it together, and I jumped in front of him.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, man, but y'all do y'all thing, though?
You know what I'm saying? We try.
Y'all do y'all thing, you know?
We're good with our roles.
Yeah, and that's what it's about.
Well, you guys don't understand what it's like
to be the cute one. Right.
Like, let me tell you ‐‐ with me, it's tough.
Morris: [ Laughs ]
Say, for instance, people on a football team.
They know exactly the same thing, like,
what they feel when they're out there on the field.
Same thing with us when we're on stage.
But this ‐‐ I think this is even deeper than that,
because on a football team, you can get traded.
Yeah, that's true. This is something that ‐‐
News flash. You just got traded.
We traded Drew to you guys.
You're on our team now.
‐There you go. ‐No more dancing.
No more dancing for you, bud.
Now you actually have to sing, though.
But, like ‐‐
[ Laughter ]
I get that, 'cause I don't.
But growing up, and, you know, you were lucky ‐‐
you were in a band with your brother, right?
That's lucky?
Well, I'm saying, I didn't have any brothers.
I had all sisters growing up.
So when I started this band,
I suddenly got four brothers, you know?
And it is ‐‐ And he didn't even want them at all.
Like we're saying, like, you know,
I know more about this human being right here
than I do 99.9% of people I'm related to.
Right. Five guys, and we had a tour ‐‐
We're on one small little bus.
And then, obviously ‐‐
And we didn't have five rooms.
We had, like ‐‐ No, we had three rooms.
So it was like two ‐‐
Me and him had to bunk up, yeah.
We had no tour bus.
We had a Winnebago.
Really? That we drove.
We drove ourselves around in a Winnebago.
Wow. We had one room to it.
What about you, Wan?
It was ‐‐ It was similar, you know?
Very similar. We had one bus.
We all stayed on that bus.
We called it Amistad.
Amistad, yeah, it was ‐‐ it was the bomb, yep.
We sure did.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, Joey.
I've been getting noise complaints.
You guys aren't getting too rowdy, are you?
Timmons: Wow! You guys got Sporty Spice to come by?
Well, I'm actually renting this house.
It's hers.
Morris: Oh, this your house?
Well, this is my guest house.
All of the electronics are run on girl power.
Excuse me? Excuse me?
So, how's "A Very Boy Band Holiday" going?
It's going great. Yeah?
Awesome. Yeah.
Well, actually, we're having "A Very Girl Group Holiday"
up at the main chalet, so I'd better get back.
Oh, wait. Can we come by later?
Yeah, of course you can, if you want, yeah.
If you really, really want.
Oh!
Good to see you, Mel C.
I'll see you later! Be good.
See what she did there? Yeah, I saw that.
Well, I'm so glad we're all together again.
And I just want to say,
merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Yeah, but who wants to sing it?!

‐Hey! ‐Yeah!
I still don't think we're a boy band.
Just let Joey have this one, man.
And now the hot cocoa we've all been waiting for.
"A Very Boy Band Holiday" continues.
[ Laughter ]
I'm still not sure if we a boy band, bro,
but I want to thank you, man, for, you know, lying to me.
I truly appreciate it.
Fatone: My pleasure, my pleasure.
But you know what? I want to thank you guys
for all coming here, but I really ‐‐
You know, we can't thank the fans enough, really.
I mean, honestly, those are the ones
that put us here on the map,
they go to our shows.
I mean, I really did it for the fans.
Absolutely. Without every one of them,
I mean, none of this would be possible.
We wouldn't know each other.
We had a time we couldn't get arrested.
I find that hard to believe.
Yeah, no, it was pretty easy.
There was one time we were getting on a plane,
and some girl goes, "That's them!"
Right, yeah. "That's the guys,"
and we were all going down the walk ‐‐ err!
"Wait. You know who we are?"
Exactly. What? "You know who we are?"
That's the moment where you're like,
"We just did something that some stranger knows us for."
Right, yeah. And it's ‐‐ it's awesome.
Bobby, what was the first moment for you,
that you remember you felt that fan appreciation?
When we first heard the song on the radio.
It's like...
Yeah. Yep.
You try to ‐‐ You go to the phones,
and this is when phones were...
[ Laughter ]
To the wall.
You would go to the wall, and...
The rotary. The rotary phones,
and you'd call each other.
"Do you hear this on the radio?
Do you hear us on the radio?"
And then going outside and everybody ‐‐
everybody knowing that it was you
that was playing on the radio.
It was ‐‐ It's the most incredible experience.
But I think, also, something else that's pretty magical is,
our songs have lived on, you know?
Whether they become wedding songs or first dances,
the fact that your song can be with that couple
for, you know... Forever.
...the next 50 years, the rest of their lives...
Kirkpatrick: Like, when we used to go over to Europe,
and some of those kids ‐‐
I mean, they would jump on the luggage racks.
Hiding behind, they're hiding in the bathrooms,
like, in the shower curtains.
To this day, I go to a hotel, first thing I do...
Check the shower. ...check the shower.
'Cause they learn our aliases.
They know ‐‐ yeah. They learn the aliases.
And they know where you're staying.
Chris, something like that happened to us in Asia.
When we were in Southeast Asia, we had ‐‐
you know, we ordered room service,
and they brought in the food‐service cart,
dropped it off, there were girls underneath the cart.
What was your alias, Bob?
My alias was Justin Case.
[ Laughter ]
Do you guys identify with the roles
that were placed upon you by the public?
You know, like, the bad boy, the shy guy...
You know what? Yeah.
Hey, Bob, who was who? I think I know.
Oh, everybody know. Hey, everybody knows who he was.
Come on. That's not even a question.
Come on, now.
[ Laughter ]
Besides you.
Leave me alone.
[ Laughter ]
Drew: For us, it was the teen magazines.
You know, they would give you those questionnaires.
They'd be like, "Alright, what's your nickname?
Who are you in the group?"
"What's your favorite color? What do you like to eat?"
So we made nicknames up.
Next thing you know, they're in the 98 Degrees board game,
and then they're, you know, on the ‐‐
You guys had a board game?
‐It was great. ‐We had a board game.
We did? You had to be bored to play it,
but, you know, it's...yeah.
Well, it's interesting to talk about fans,
'cause I know that we all come
from different generations, right?
We all had an affinity or respect for the groups
that came before us, 'cause I know, obviously,
I was a superfan of Boyz II Men
and what you guys were able to do
and what you guys meant to my life.
How you feel about us is how we feel about these guys.
You know, New Edition, even our name, Boyz II Men,
was an actual song from a New Edition album,
called "N.E. Heartbreak."
Oh, wow. And, you know,
me and Nate were on the phone,
and we hated the name that we had before.
We're not gonna tell anybody.
Please tell us.
And "Boys to Men" came on the radio,
and I was like, "Yo, that should be our name."
You know, even before I was in Boyz II Men,
the All For Love Tour...
Uh‐huh. ...the All For Love Tour,
my auntie took me to that.
And I got an outfit and everything,
and I remember sitting in, like, maybe the third tier,
and I literally cried.
I was like, "I want to be that.
I want to be on that stage one day."
So I guess what we're saying is that
the biggest fans are us.
Us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, guys, guys, guys, what do you think?
One more song for the fans?
Yeah. Let's do it.
Alright, let's go. Come on.

Hey!
[ Cheering ]
Happy holidays!
Good job. By God, we did it.
What a Boy Band Holiday it's been.
Bobby Brown shared his family's wings,
and Wanyá Morris spoke of Hanumas things.
Shawn Stockman spotted snow,
and Joey Mac said, "Ho ho ho."
What a time to see old friends.
Such a shame it has to end.
Joey, enjoy some rest near the tree,
on a couch owned by Melanie C.
Your phone's about to ring. Who will it be?
[ Cellphone rings ] Oh.
♪♪
Hello? [ Baby crying ]
Oh, hey, Joey.
Yeah, ma‐‐ maybe next year?
Alright, well, see ya. Bye.
Bye‐bye. Bye, bye, bye.
We prime time ‐‐ prime time.
Are you ready?
Let's go.
[ Laughter ]
Roll the tape, baby.
[ Laughter ]
Hey, Drew, what are you doing, man?
Nick really wanted me to hang our childhood stockings
so he could feel like he was really here.
Did your mom make those?
You know, moms don't have the same amount of time
when the second kid comes.
Does it work?
Is it too pathetic?
Alright. [ Laughs ]
Hold on! I got a better one in me!
Wait. You don't know what a Boy Band Holiday is?
Shawn, you want to sing the song?
Let's start it. No.
Well, his name's Wanyá.
I've always been Wanyá.
Wow.
Lookee here.
It is snowing.
[ Laughter ]
We live in Philly, man. We from Philly.
Like, we've seen it before.
[ Laughs ]
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
[ Cheering ]
[ Laughter ]
Chris just got kicked in the head.
I didn't take too long, did I?
Yes, you did. Alright, I'm sorry.
Prime time, let's go.
Oh. Did I forget to call you?
Were the Backstreet Boys even a boy band?
