The show marked the singer's third Christmas-themed TV special.

The one-hour show was filmed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, which is the same venue at which the musician played his 637th show.

The special featured classic Christmas songs as well as some of Barry's better-known hits.

"It's filled with great Christmas songs. I've had three Christmas albums out, so I could have gone on for hours because they're wonderful," the singer said ahead of the show.

"I actually figured out a way to put my own pop songs into the Christmas show, so even though I'm singing Copacabana, it always feels like a Christmas show."
