Shortly after, Bradley and Lawrence took to Instagram with a clip to tease what fans can expect from the upcoming show.

Showcasing their impressive vocal skills, both lads belted out their own rendition of the Christmas classic Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

Their performance garnered plenty of attention from fans as well as their co-stars, who couldn't wait to show their support in the comments section.
