One Direction is going to be unavoidable this holiday season. Since the U.K. boy band is preparing to release a new album, the five-man group will be appearing on both NBC and ABC in December.

Next, they will star in the appropriately titled One Direction: The TV Special, which premieres on Dec. 23 at 8 p.m.
A few days later, One Direction will be among the West Coast performers during ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Entertainment Weekly notes that Charli XCX and Meghan Trainor were also added to the line-up.

There will also be performances from Nashville, which will feature Gavin DeGraw and Lady Antebellum.
