With less than a month to go until Christmas, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen presented a festive special last night (28 November) featuring an array of celebrity guests, including Stevie Wonder.

The high-profile couple led the hour-long broadcast which aired on US channel NBC and saw Legend perform numerous songs from his forthcoming album, A Legendary Christmas.

Other celebrities to drop in for the show included Kim Kardashian West and her mother Kris Jenner, with Teigen signing a contract officially making the former her sister.

Before that, Jenner gave Teigen a customised “Khrissy” headband, explaining that “everything is better spelled with a K”.

Another segment saw Legend and Teigen joined by celebrities including former Glee star Darren Criss, pop singer Meghan Trainor and Wreck-It Ralph star Jane Lynch in going door-to-door and surprising people by singing Christmas carols.

One stunned man said: “John Legend?! You’re singing in the front yard?”

Another scene sees a girl tell Legend her favourite film is La La Land, which he starred in.

Teigen jumped in: “OK, he had a small role, first of all.”

She later explained it is important to keep her Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony award-winning husband “humble”.

The Fab Five from Netflix’s makeover show Queer Eye – Tan France, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness and Bobby Berk – surprised Legend and Teigen’s two-year-old daughter Luna with a FaceTime call and Kim Kardashian was camera-shy in turning down a selfie with an annoying family member.

As well as the comedy sketches, viewers were treated to music from the guests, with Wonder performing his hit “What Christmas Means to Me” along with Legend and the house band.

Teigen and Legend were then surrounded by their actual family for a performance on the piano, and writing on Twitter, Teigen said: “Very happy to have this memory (and footage!) forever. Thank you guys so much for watching my heart is happy.”
