And a whole bunch of brand new clues in store.
Season ten has been our most exciting yet.
Two rounds of remarkable competition

To battle it out in the spectacular
Two-hour season finale.
So, america, warm up those pipes
And follow along to the lyrics on the screen
Because you're a part of the choir
In this festive sing along.
First up, a brand new performance
By our group a finalist, the cow.
The holidays for me are all about being home and spending time with family.
I mean, my mother demands it.
It's a time to unplug and disconnect
And really enjoy spending time with one another.
So tonight I choose to sing to you what christmas means to me.
Happy holidays, everyone.
Nick: The cow, everybody!
The panel think this grade a performer
Could be usher, jason derulo, or trey songz.
Do you have any better guesses?

Aka the cuddle monster,
And I wanna wish each and every one of you a happy holidays.
I'm luanne de lesseps, so countess luanne, aka hibiscus.

And I hope all your dreams come true,
Just like mine being here on "masked."

I mean, gladys knight, seal, t-pain.
That's just to name a few.
So I got right to rehearsing.
And it's good I put in the work.

Nick: Securing a spot in the season finale is...
...The cow!
- Oh! - Whoa!
So there you have it.
You are the group a champion.
And now I'll face the rest of the finalists,
Who I'm sure will be fierce competitors.
But when you and the judges see
What this dairy queen brings to the finale,
If you haven't already,
You're gonna fall udder-ly in love with me.
Our first finalist, the cow,
Got us in the holiday spirit with his song,
But which talented celebrity is under this mask?
Let's get a brand new clue to find out.
Oh, yes, a shark tooth.
A clue that you can sink your teeth into.
I like to stay away from sharks,
But for the holidays, I'll make an exception.
We've had plenty of amazing performances
And shocking unmaskings this season,
But what we haven't seen is just as good.
Here's the white elephant gift you've been waiting for,
The never before seen moments of season ten.
Pickle, you're all right with me.
We did good. We did good.
Who knows what happened with the judges?
We had a great run, cuddle.
It was great cuddling you.
You're so cute.
You're really great. Thanks for all your help.
( squawks )
That was "I love you" in hawk.
To me, it kind of looks like me a little bit.
There's the nose.
I got a ski jump nose. You know? Whoo!
I love you, too.
( squawks )
Bloodshot eyes.
You're hot!
I just wanna take a bite out of the s'more. Mmm!
Take me to the tiki bar, okay?
- We'll go out for a couple of field mice sandwiches. - Peace, husky.
Pickle, it's been fun. You know, I mean--
Damn it, this-- damn it.
The party continues after the break
With more holiday performances,
Plus we'll dive into how group b and c played out.
We'll be right back. Don't miss it.
♪ who is that?
What's going on? Keenan allen here, aka gargoyle.
Had a blast on the show. Just want to wish y'all
Merry christmas, happy holidays, and, uh, yeah.
Hey, y'all. This is david archuleta, aka the macaw,
Wishing you happy holidays.
Welcome back to "the masked singer" holiday sing-along,
Where the night is decked with boughs of hollywood stars.
Now our show is all about unwrapping clues
To figure out who's under the mask.
Our panel has a lot of guesses, but what about you?
We sent each of our group finalists out on the street
To see who you, the fans, thought they were.
Let's head out with the cow in mask on the street.
( crowd cheering )
- Who do you think I am? - I have no clue.
- What's your hometown? - Um, that's a really good question.
Maybe pharrell.
That's a decent guess.
Have you ever done a voiceover in an animated movie before?
I never have, no.
- Are you chris brown? - Well...
Who is your favorite judge and why?
Oh, my, you're gonna get me in trouble. Um...
- Nice. - Love it.
Any excuse to spin is a good excuse.
- I think you are usher. - I think you are usher.
- We really stumped. We're not really sure. - I have no idea.
- Break a leg. - Thank you so much for talking to us.
- Good luck. - Break a hoof.
- Go get 'em, cow! - ( cheering )
Yeah! Shake it, shake it.
Nick: All right, we've heard from the fans.
Now let's take a look back
At our panel's best guesses for the cow.
Wow! My mind is blown.
Oh, my gosh. I'm freaking out.
I'm thinking this could be shawn stockman from boyz ii men.
Ken: Good guess.
Some names that come to mind, trey songz is one.
- Ne-yo. - Really? Y'all think, like--
- I don't-- - wait, what's wrong, daddy? What's wrong?
This ain't giving me ne-yo vibes.
You don't think that's ne-yo?
Wait, nick, do you know who it is?
I know it ain't ne-yo.
I know exactly who this is.
Because all signs point to usher.
- Mm-hmm. - Ooh.
You know who can dance their sweet okole off...
- Jenny: Who? - ...Is jason derulo.
- Jenny: Oh. - Robin: Yeah.
Clearly this cow knows me.
- Everybody knows you, nick. - No, he keep--
He's picking on me.
Both: But you don't know who it is?
I have no idea who it is.
Time to kick back into holiday party mode
With one of the most colorful costumes and characters from the whole season.
It's new york housewife and "cabaret" star luanne de lesseps,
Or as she's better known around here, hibiscus.
Well, maybe it's that cartier watch
Or that tiffany bracelet.
Or maybe it's just a chanel bag.
Huh, maybe a pair of jimmy choo high heel pumps.
Or what I'd really love is a red hot ferrari.
Nick: Keep it going for hibiscus.
That's some good hibiscus and gravy right there.
Now, since we know you love a peek behind the scenes,
Here are some more never before seen moments from season ten.

Oh!

I am so emotional right now.
Thank you so much for saving me.
But don't get me wrong, as graceful as I am,
This gazelle intends to win
And hop over any of the competition that gets in my way.
So the gazelle will get another chance at the golden mask trophy,
Which means you will get another chance to guess who they are.
Has our studio audience already figured it out?
We took the gazelle out to the streets to find out.
- Hi! - Both: Hi.
- I have question. - Yes?
- Who do you guys think I am? - Um, I'm not sure.
- Ooh! - I'm getting a hailee steinfeld vibe.

- Maybe ariana grande. - Omg.
- We were saying maybe vanessa williams. - Vanessa williams.
Vanessa williams? Wow.
- Do you have any questions about my identity? - Hmm...
I really love any type of musical theater.
What era of music did you grow up in?
- The '90s, baby. - There we go.
- Thank you guys for being here. - Bye, gazelle.
Nick: All right, we've heard from the fans.
Now let's take a look back
At our panel's best guesses for gazelle.
Who is that?
I'm getting a "riverdale" actress,
Camila mendes vibe.
- Whoa. - I think that this could be auli'I cravalho,
The voice of moana.
I love her so much.
I think this might be lucy hale.
Ken: Oh, good guess.
It could possibly be a dear friend of mine, vanessa hudgens.
- Robin: That's a good guess. - Jenny: Oh.
Are there any "gossip girl" fans here?
I was getting a little leighton meester. What do you think?
This sounds like someone who I genuinely love,
- Who is a dear friend of mine... - Oh.
- This may be constance wu. - Oh!
- Wow! - Well, whoever you are,

There's still a lot to unwrap tonight, but before we break,
Let's take a look at some of the wild guesses our panel had from season ten.
- Roll the tape. - Come on, professor.
Well, you know what? I'm thinking this could be brian mcknight.
Coming from brian mcwhite, that is not brian mcknight.
You know who would make an amazing pickle?
- Charlie sheen. - The pickle is sean penn, and I'll tell you why.
- Jenny: Oh, my god. - Let me finish!
I'm seeing this face and the mustache,
I still think it might be kevin richardson of the backstreet boys.
It's the same mustache.
Just because the mask has a mustache
Doesn't the mean the contestant has a mustache.
Yeah, but he's got a mustache.
Hello? Babyface.
Ken and nicole: Oh.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
- Mariah carey. - I think I would know my baby mama.
Be more specific.

But before that happens, let's get some more clues
As to who these group c singers may be.
Finally a meaty clue.
This steak helped me get to the top.
I don't know where I would be without it.
You're next, donut.
What a gift.
I'm not a royalty, but I do have my fair share
Of experience with discoveries like this one.
Candelabra's next.
Ah, a costume after my own heart,
And the person ain't too bad either.
A real gift, robopine.
All: Happy holidays.
All right, you know what time it is.
Let's head back to the streets
To see who our audience think
Our group c singers could be.
( cheering )
What do you think I am?
I think you might be a basketball player.
That's a good guess.
- So what do you think I am? - I think you're beyoncé.
Beyoncé is not a candle. She's a bee.
- That's a compliment. - You're right. You're right.
Are you a professional dancer?
My mom thinks so.
- Can you dance? - When I have to, yes.
Can you show us some dance moves?
Let's see. Can I twerk in here?
- Are you married? - Oh, you guys got the serious questions.
Is your husband an nfl player?
- My husband left me for another woman. - Ooh.
- I'm just playing. - I think you're john travolta.
- ( laughs ) - oh.
All right, what's your guess?
I don't know. I have no idea.
- I think you're paul simon. - I love paul simon.
He's of my favorites.
I think you're david hasselhoff.
He should be so lucky.
- Are you ashanti? - Whoo!
- How old are you? - Those two I think I'm gonna pass on.
Asking questions isn't a piece of cake, especially when it's a donut.
Especially when it's a dounut.
Give me a high four! Thank you.

And they kicked me off!
Now I'm singing "let it snow," "jingle bells,"
And "come on, eileen."

I gave you enough.
