‘Twixt Christmas and New Year’s Eve exists a time in which we are full of chocolate and cheese and are confused as to what day it is. Join Jen and Andy as they sing their way through iconic duets across all genres of music. Islands in the Stream. Endless Love, The Time of My Life, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, I Got You Babe, with duets from Phantom, Spamalot, West Side Story and more!
