What they’re saying:
- AJ McLean: “I stayed in touch with Seth after we shot This Is the End. We collectively — us and ABC — have been reaching out to special guests and putting together our dream list to see who was available. Seth was into it! We haven’t even heard what he does as the narrator.”
- Nick Carter: “I think the Backstreet Boys bring a very nostalgic feeling from a particular time in their lives that are so special to them and important. Everyone in the world knows a lot of Christmas songs, they’ve grown up with them and they celebrate the holidays together. They’re just a part of people’s lives so we’re just happy to have a little part of that.”
