The audience got a sneak peek when Fallon pressed play, revealing the soft strumming of a ukulele. Timberlake immediately quipped, “Nothing says Christmas like a ukulele.” Fallon, bursting into laughter, commented, “This already started with a curveball.”
The pair then sang the lyrics, “Tell me you’ll be there / Whenever the snow starts falling … Tell me that you’ll be there / The only thing on my wishlist is that you’ll be home for Christmas.” As the song played, Fallon and Timberlake danced along, giving fans a glimpse of the festive energy behind the track.
After pausing the song, Fallon teased that it was “just a taste” of what’s to come. Timberlake enthusiastically added, “It’s a jam.” The lighthearted moment between the two stars highlighted their enduring friendship.
Fallon and Timberlake have been friends for over two decades, first meeting at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they bonded over their nerves before performing. Their friendship has blossomed both on and off screen, with countless appearances on ‘The Tonight Show’, from musical performances to fun skits and games.
