Ice-T Goes Up Against Blake Shelton on Barmageddon
The Barmageddon holiday special featured Shelton in a Santa costume, reading a new version of “The Night Before Christmas” that went, “‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the bar, not a drinker was stirring — except for the star.”
During the episode, Shelton played a round of Holiday Sharts with guest star Ice-T. The game is a take on darts, in which players try to pop balloons on the wall and then guess the message it spells out. Shelton and his partner ended up being right.
According to People, the holiday special also featured several other festive games such as Merry Axe-Mas, Doodle All the Way, Little Drummer Boy (and Girl), Reindeer Games, and Christmas Carol-okie. Shelton kept his Santa costume on throughout the show.
