With the holiday season in full force, Bieber has been taking part ever since the release of his album Under the Mistletoe.
Following last week's performance on The Today Show, the Canadian singer is gearing up to perform on the annual Christmas in Washington special, hosted by Conan O'Brien on Dec. 11. Before that, Bieber will join fellow Canadian Michael Bublé on NBC's A Very Bublé Christmas on Dec. 6.
Under the Mistletoe has been topping charts around the world since its release on Nov. 1. The album, featuring duets with Mariah Carey, Usher and Boyz II Men, landed at number one on the Billboard 200 list after its first week of sales.
On Thursday, Bieber and Carey will premiere the music video for their duet, All I Want for Christmas is You, which was filmed in and around the iconic Macy's in New York City.
