This year we've invited the incredible George Salazar to share his favorite holiday performances. Check back daily to get in the holiday spirit in time for December 25 and to find out what else made his list!

"I could listen to Lindsay Mendez sing anything. Broadway standards, children's songs, heavy metal... CHRISTMAS TUNES. Check out this video of Tony Award Winning DIVA Lindsay Mendez singing a fun Lynne Shankle arrangement of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." I love watching Lindsay perform because she radiates an infectious joy and happiness that you can still feel if you close your eyes and just listen. She sings through a gorgeous smile and basically I'm now rambling about why I am and always will be obsessed with her. Ok ok stop reading this and just watch it YOU'RE WELCOME!"
