Carly Pearce returned to NBC’s The Voice on Monday (Dec. 10) to deliver a standout performance of “Maybe This Christmas,” alongside Michael Bublé. 

Pearce, who previously served as a Playoff Mentor for Team Bublé, took the stage with the fellow GRAMMY winner during the first night of the show’s finale. This marked the television debut of their holiday collaboration, which was released late last month after the pair connected on the set of The Voice. 

Michael Bublé kicked off the performance seated on a stool near a grand piano. As he delivered the stirring first verse, dim candles illuminated the cozy setting around him while fog rose gently from the stage.   

Pearce joined on the second verse, seated across from Bublé, mirroring his presence on a stool. As the performance built to its emotional finale, the pair stood up and moved to the center of the stage as snow fell around them. 

It was the perfect setting for a performance of the melancholy Christmas tune as the song captures the bittersweet emotions that sometimes come with the holidays.  

“I’ve been running all my life/ I’ve been trying to get it right/ Sentimentally, the thing I do well/ But it’s Christmas time again/ And I’m missing all my friends/ Million miles away, a toast to their health/ Now it’s a shot out in the dark/ I’m just wishing on a star/ And I wish I knew just what to do/ Lord I think I need your light/ On this cold and silent night/ I’m just hanging on, it’s all that I can do,” Bublé sings on the first verse, yearning for time with friends on a cold night. 

On her verse, Pearce offers hope to those who are spending time along during the holiday season as she sings, “You’ve been running through my mind/ No matter how I try/ When the bells on Saint Pat’s start to ring/ And it’s so hard for me to hear/ You’re alone this time of year/ And the bitterness that that cold must ring/ And you’rе sitting in the dark/ And it’s falling all apart/ I’ll be lighting up a candle for you/ I know it’s sad to bе alone/ I wish you joy and peace and hope/ Wish you all the love that your heart can hold.”

Pearce and Bublé’s performance of “Maybe This Christmas” was featured on the first night of The Voice finale, which also included a special appearance from Martha Stewart and a performance from Season 24 winner, Huntley. 

This season will conclude this evening during the second finale episode with special performances from Dan + Shay, Kelly Clarkson, Myles Smith, Riley Green & Ella Langley and Tears For Fears.  

Dan + Shay, who served as Season 25 coaches, will return to the hit show to perform a song from their recently released project, It’s Officially Christmas: The Double Album. 

Meanwhile, Green and Langley will perform “Don’t Mind If I Do,” the title track off Green’s recently released album.   

The Voice finale will air live on Tuesday, Dec. 10 (9-11 p.m. ET/PT).
