Emmy and Golden Globe winner Darren Criss will perform songs from his 2021 holiday album, A Very Darren Crissmas, his first-ever full-length project, which includes an eclectic collection of big band Christmas classics, novelty tunes and modern-day, folk-pop ballads.

Criss is also a veteran of the stage, and his Broadway credits include the titular role of Hedwig in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" (2015) and the leading role in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (2012). Additionally, he is featured in the Netflix series "Hollywood" (2020), for which he served as executive producer.
