The holiday cheer has come upon Lance Bass too soon, but he could not be happier. The presenter would communicate his excitement for the lighting of the Christmas tree at The Grove through his Instagram post in which, along with a little but very cute video that showed his energetic mood, he said “Holiday mode: ACTIVATED”. The video has him moving to the music with joyous abandon, which is a hint of the holiday atmosphere that he is going to bring to the renowned LA shopping center. The event has been a part of the LA holiday calendar for a long time, and this year the special guest Mr. Bass promises nothing but nostalgia and fun.
Bass’s post was met immediately and very clearly by the public. Comments were predominantly filled with holiday excitement and cheer. A person pointed out that the video “put a big smile on my face,” which was a very good way of expressing the positive reaction others were having. Another one said very succinctly, “This makes me so happy!!” Thus, the comments section soon turned into a venue for a virtual celebration, mirroring the joyful atmosphere that Bass was exuding.
Some users were even more looking forward to the future event than they were to the announcement of the star. One user was already “officially planning the perfect holiday outfit,” which clearly showed how much they wanted to be at the event. Another user recalled the acapella Christmas specials and commented, “I remember when you guys would perform acapella as a group on all the Christmas specials!” The recollection indicates that for many of the older fans, the Christmas participation of Bass has become a comforting, habitual part of their lives and memories just like the good old days with NSYNC. NSYNC’s origin story is a fascinating part of pop music history.
The specificity in the comments not only indicated a deeper level of interest but also made the discussion more interesting. One commenter jokingly begged, “Lance, stop making me like Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving,” thus revealing a feeling that a lot of people might have who are used to gently lowering their resistance to Christmas cheer over the years. Another person was admiring Bass’s moves and stylish, “Can we appreciate your smooth moves, though?!” It was very clear that the arena didn’t forget about Bass’s cheerful dancing in the video which had become the focus of adoration.
The selection of the music has proved that it was a right one. A user, along with others, boldly said it was their “favorite Christmas album!!” Another one, who was definitely more excited than the others, unreservedly proclaimed, “This song will FOREVER slap,” while a different one wrote, “Awww lance I had forgotten about this song. Time to listen to this hit. Thanks,” thanking Bass for the refresher. The track served as a sensory stimulus for holiday nostalgia and this connected the audience through a common musical memory.
Apart from the overall merriment, the comments were also showing personal links to the site and the person. Someone commented “Love @thegrovela at Christmas time!!!” thus confirming The Grove’s reputation as a premier holiday destination. Another online user gave Bass very positive reinforcement stating, “always there for the good vibes” which was an acknowledgment that the singer is a very consistent purveyor of positivity. One comment that was especially touching revealed a family connection to Bass’s work outside of music, saying, “My girls are so excited for Christmas and told me mom I wish Lance’s book was coming out this Christmas.”
Most comments were related to the holiday joy, but one comment drew attention with a different type of request, which was asking, “Where TF is the reunion tour!” This was an off-topic comment, however, it still highlighted the participants’ continuous demand for an NSYNC reunion which followed the members. It was a testament to the group’s lasting impact, even while Bass is carving his own path as a holiday host. He recently shared enthusiastic praise for Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth.

Lance Bass has turned the switch around and now the public is ready for the festive season. His announcement was not only a promotion of the event but also a community-wide incitement of the holiday spirit. He recently hosted a spooky Dead Disney Halloween party with Michael Turchin, showing his versatility in event hosting. The combination of a much-loved host, a classic venue, and an incredibly contagious energy has prepared the ground for yet another unforgettable celebration at The Grove. Public reactions indicate that once Lance Bass turns on holiday mode, people are more than willing to join in, get into the theme, and be a part of it. His work hosting producer nights for musicals further demonstrates his range in the entertainment industry.
