It's the time of year where we wrap up warm, spend time with loved-ones, decorate Christmas trees and, most importantly, come together at The O2 for Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard 2025.
For two nights in December we throw the UK's biggest Christmas party with help from the world's biggest artists. This year - on night one - Anne-Marie, RAYE, Leigh-Anne, Ed Sheeran and more performed their best hits for an audience of 16,000 adoring fans.
And on night two, the likes of Jessie J, Kylie Minogue, Cat Burns and Louis Tomlinson took over the reins - delivering nothing but banger after banger.
From Leigh-Anne's Little Mix medley to RAYE bringing out her sisters ABSOLUTELY and AMMA on night one, Tinie Tempah stripping, and Alex Warren bringing out Myles Smith on night two, both shows were full of unforgettable moments. Here's a walk through of our best bits...
Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2025 night two:
None other than the Kylie Minogue wrapped up the end of #CapitalJBB '25 we a perfect pop Christmas bow
Kylie did not come to play, she gave us outfit changes, sexy Santas, and even dancing baubles - it was truly the perfect end to an extraordinary night.
The iconic singer, performed 'Can't Get You out of My Head', her signature sultry rendition of 'Santa Baby', 'Padam Padam', a medley of 'The Loco-Motion', and so many more of her pop hits.
Five entered the chat as our Barclaycard Out Of The Blue performance!
Five - Everybody Get Up (Live at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2025)
Did the 2000s call? Five were the surprise act at this year's Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard. Playing to a sold-out O2 Arena they performed iconic tracks like 'Keep On Moving' and 'Get On Up'.
The crowd's reaction was so loud, we HAD to include this as one of the weekend's most unforgettable moments.
Rose Gray expertly covered Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own'

Rose Gray was the second Capital Buzz act of the weekend and while following in Alessi Rose's footsteps is no small feat, she absolutely delivered.
With a rendition of Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' and a performance of her own 'I Don't Speak French', Rose blew us away with perfect vocals and extraordinary stage presence.
Alex Warren brought out Myles Smith for surprise performance
Alex Warren is the gift that keeps on giving, as he brought out none other than Myles Smith to perform 'Ordinary' together.
From 'Eternity' to 'Carry You Home', the 16,000 fans at The O2 Arena were already belting out his viral hits, but it was his duet of 'Ordinary' with surprise guest Myles Smith, that had the crowd screaming to another level.
The Bong Man was defeated for a second time at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball
After one Capital Breakfast listener took home nearly £2K on night one, another listener stepped up to stage and walked away with even more money.
The lucky - and brave - contestant walked off of The O2 stage, £3500 richer!
Jessie J reflected on her challenging year in moving speech
Jessie J reflects on her challenging year in a moving Jingle Bell Ball speech delivered to 16,000 people at The O2 Arena.
Earlier this year, Jessie revealed to fans she'd been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Before undergoing surgery, she performed at Summertime Ball where she powerfully declared: "Today, this show is my last show before I got and beat breast cancer."
Now, six months on, Jessie reflected on what she's learnt this year, saying "I've learnt to slow down and be more present, I've learnt to live more in the moment and I've learnt to know that life is not promised in the way that we might want it to be".
Louis Tomlinson paid homage to One Direction
Louis Tomlinson has returned to JBB after 13 years for his first solo appearance.
The singer surprised the audience by performing two songs from his upcoming album How Did I Get Here?, 'Lemonade' and 'Palaces'. But, it was the One Direction song 'Drag Me Down' in the middle of his set that was most special.
We definitely had some Directioners in the crowd tonight as people were seen singing the track word-for-word.
Tinie Tempah stripped during his epic 12-song set
Tine Tempah opened night two of Capital's Jingle Bell Ball in the only way he knows how... with BAGS OF ENERGY.
Performing nostalgic hits like 'Pass Out', 'Earthquake' and 'Drinking From The Bottle', he had the entire O2 Arena on their feet.
And, it turns out the energy was pouring out if him so much that it couldn't be contained and so his top, naturally, just had to come off.
Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2025 night one:
Ed Sheeran closed out the show with 'Bad Habits'
At the end of an already jam-packed show, Ed Sheeran performed nine of his best tracks. That's basically an entire concert in itself!
With just a guitar, his voice, and a loop peddle, Ed put on an epic performance. And closing with his Big Top 40 UK number one hit 'Bad Habits' he had every single person in the crowd on their feet.
Alessi Rose delivered a flawless cover of Gwen Stefani's 'What You Waiting For?'
As our first-ever Capital Buzz artist, Alessi Rose set the standard HIGH. Not only did she have the crowd in awe with her performance of her hit single 'First Original Thought', she very casually gave the performance of a lifetime as she covered none other than Gwen Stefani.
Alessi sang a cover of 'What You Waiting For?' and it might be our new obsession, I will be watching that performance video on repeat for the foreseeable.
RAYE performed with sisters ABSOLUTELY and AMMA
Whatever RAYE's parents have been eating, we want some because how on earth did they manage to create so many talented kids?!
RAYE has had huge success in her career and is sharing every moment of it that she can with her ridiculously talented younger sisters AMMA and ABSOLUTELY.
She joined ABSOLUTELY in a duet of her song 'I Just Don't Know You Yet' and also duetted AMMA's 'If You Don't Love Me' to an audience of 16,000.
Rizzle Kicks gave us pure nostalgia with hits like 'Mamma Do The Hump'
Rizzle Kicks' Jordan and Harley might have entered a new era with energetic hits like 'Follow Excitement' and 'Javelin' but nothing quite hits like their iconic tracks 'Mamma Do The Hump' and 'Down With The Trumpets'.
14 years on and they still hit like they did back in 2011. We know there wasn't a single person not dancing along in the crowd.
The Bong man was defeated LIVE in front of 16,000 people
A Capital Breakfast listener dared to take on The Bong Man live at The O2, and with nerves of steel she managed to defeat him and was the winner of a healthy £1850.
However, she could have won a whopping £4000 - that Bong Man is so shifty!
Leigh-Anne performed 'Dead and Gone' for the first time
Our record-breaking Baller, Leigh-Anne performed at her 8th Capital Ball. In honour of her Little Mix girls, Perrie and Jade, she performed a medley of their best tracks.
After singing 'Sweet Melody', 'Touch' and 'Power', she said to the crowd: "I miss my girls." We're pretty sure Mixers all around the world shed a tear.
Not only did Leigh-Anne perform some Little Mix tracks, she sang her single 'Dead and Gone' live for the first time. She preformed the track, which will be on her upcoming album 'MY EGO TOLD ME TO', while on her knees and gave the vocal performance of a lifetime.
Anne-Marie opened the #CapitalJBB 2025 with '2002'
Anne-Marie - 2002 (Live at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball 2025)
Dressed like a literal Christmas present, all our wishes came true when Anne-Marie opened the show and performed some of her best hits.
She opened with the nostalgic track '2002' and even sang a festive banger 'Merry Christmas Everyone'.
It was truly one of the best Jingle Bell Balls in all of JBB history... same time next year?
