Alex Warren perfectly pulling off Zara Larsson's viral "Lush Life" dance is the truly the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season.

While at iHeartRadio Q102's Jingle Ball 2025 Presented by Capital One, Larsson was up on stage performing her hit song when Warren suddenly appeared with a sign that read, "Can I be your Lush Boy?" And when Zara was searching for a fan to join her on stage to help with her "Lush Life" performance, she spotted the sign and of course she chose Alex.

On stage, Alex greeted Zara with a hug, and Larsson explained to fans that the "Ordinary" singer had been "practicing" his "Lush Life" dance moves — and he really had been! Because he hit every dance move alongside Zara, proving he is the ultimate "Lush Boy."

Myles Smith, who also performed during the show, was watching off stage, and in a video, gave his reaction, laughing and saying, "I could never do that!"

iHeartRadio Q102's Jingle Ball 2025 Presented by Capital One also included performances from AJR, BigXthaPlug, Laufey, MONSTA X, and Ravyn Lenae.

To relive the holiday magic, iHeartRadio is partnering with ABC to bring the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour to even more fans across the country, as an exclusive network special will be aired on December 17th and next day on Hulu.
