Earlier this month, Chance The Rapper joined President Barack Obama for a chorus of the Christmas song ‘Jingle Bells’ at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the White House.

The ceremony in Washington D.C. last night marked the final time that President Obama would oversee the long tradition, which dates back to Calvin Coolidge’s presidency in 1923.

The Chicago rapper was invited by the current President to perform at the ceremony, along with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, James Taylor and The Lumineers. Actress Eva Longoria and US Olympic athlete Simone Manuel were also present.

As the ceremony drew to a close, President Obama led Chance and his special guests – as well as Father Christmas – in a rendition of the holiday favourite ‘Jingle Bells’
