One Direction gave fans a little treat ahead of their holiday special airing on NBC on Tuesday (Dec. 23).
On Sunday (Dec. 21), the fivesome released a teaser, left on the cutting room floor, from their upcoming concert special, billed as One Direction: The TV Special, in which they perform their throwback ballad, “Little Things” off 2012’s Take Me Home.

It was later revealed by Ben Winston, the group’s go-to director, this particular performance “isn’t on the show but gives you a taster.”
