There is also a cameo by former Canadian figure skating champion Kurt Browning, who performs a routine on an ice rink set up on the stage.

The show ends with a grand finale performance by Peters and his guests, featuring a group of singers and dancers performing a holiday-themed dance routine while Peters provides commentary from a sideline.
