Get ready for a Christmas night unlike any other — because Robert Irwin and Witney Carson are set to light up NBC’s annual Christmas at Rockefeller Center celebration with a breathtaking holiday performance already being hailed as “the dance of the season.”
This year’s showcase will unfold beneath the glittering Rockefeller Christmas tree, with the pair performing “Under the Mistletoe,” a mesmerizing fusion of ballroom grace and festive storytelling. Producers have teased it as “romance, rhythm, and pure Christmas spirit — all in one unforgettable moment.”
The performance is expected to be a visual masterpiece. Witney will dazzle in flowing winter-white satin, while Robert takes the floor in a sleek emerald suit, moving together through twinkling lights and gentle snowfall.

For Robert, the performance marks more than just another dance. It’s a chance to bring heart and storytelling to a global audience during the most magical time of year. “Christmas isn’t just about gifts,” he said in a behind-the-scenes interview. “It’s about moments that make your heart stop — and this dance is one of them.”
Witney echoed his sentiment, describing their routine as “love in motion.” She smiled as she shared, “We wanted to create something that feels timeless — like standing under the mistletoe, where the world slows down and everything just feels right.”
The live orchestral arrangement, paired with cascading golden lights and a real-time snowfall effect, promises to turn Rockefeller Center into a living snow globe. Thousands are expected to gather in person, while millions more will watch from home, captivated by the duo’s chemistry and grace.
Producers behind the event revealed that Robert and Witney spent weeks perfecting every detail, rehearsing late into the night to ensure the performance blends technical brilliance with emotional depth. “They wanted it to mean something — to make people feel,” one insider shared.
As anticipation builds, social media has already erupted with excitement. Fans are calling it “the perfect holiday moment” and predicting that this will be the most talked-about segment of the entire Christmas special.
When the orchestra swells and the first snowflake falls, one thing is certain — Robert Irwin and Witney Carson’s “Under the Mistletoe” won’t just be a performance. It will be a celebration of love, light, and the magic that only Christmas can bring.
