    The Voice ended Season 28 on NBC with the live finale results. The finale part two aired on December 16, 2025, and confirmed the winner after a season of performances and viewer voting.

    The singing competition featured coaches Niall Horan, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Snoop Dogg. Each coach had at least one artist reach the final stage of the show.

    The last episode followed the first night of the finale and focused on holiday performances and final results. The show was presented as The Voice Finale: Holiday Spectacular. The six remaining contestants performed Christmas songs before voting closed. Viewers voted overnight, and the final ranking was revealed during the live broadcast.

    Niall Horan did not perform during the finale due to illness and was placed on vocal rest. Guest performers joined the show and appeared with some of the finalists. Host Carson Daly guided the episode and announced the results.

    At the end of the night, Aiden Ross from Team Niall was named the winner of The Voice Season 28. The episode closed the season and marked another coaching win for Horan on the NBC series.


    Finale performances and the show format of The Voice 

    The finale episode included performances from all six finalists. Each artist sang one holiday song as part of the final vote. Aiden Ross performed “Last Christmas.” Jazz McKenzie sang “Jingle Bell Rock.”

    Aubrey Nicole performed “Mary, Did You Know.” Ralph Edwards sang “This Christmas.” Max Chambers performed “Blue Christmas.” Dek of Hearts sang “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.”

    The show followed a set format. Performances were shown alongside short recaps of each finalist’s journey. Coaches appeared on stage and in pre-recorded segments. While Niall Horan did not sing, guest artists stood in during performances involving his team.

    Several guest performers appeared throughout the broadcast. These included Journey, Khalid, Riley Green, XG, Zac Brown Band featuring Noah Cyrus, and Sofronio Vásquez, who won Season 26.

    Their performances were spread across the episode between finalist songs and results segments.

    Voting results were based on viewer votes from the final performance window. No judges’ scores were used in the finale. All results were determined by audience participation and announced live.
