The Voice Season 28 came to a spectacular close Tuesday night as 20‑year‑old Aiden Ross was announced the winner of NBC’s hit singing competition — but not before delivering one of the finale’s most memorable musical moments alongside Season 23 champion Gina Miles.
In a dazzling holiday‑themed performance, Ross joined forces with Gina Miles to perform the beloved Christmas classic “Last Christmas” during the live finale broadcast. The duet was a standout moment in a night packed with high‑energy performances and guest appearances.
Miles, who won Season 23 of The Voice, returned triumphantly to the stage to share the spotlight with Ross, blending her experience with his rising star quality in a festive collaboration that thrilled fans and live audiences alike.
The season’s live finale spanned two nights of performances, culminating in the results show where Ross — a contestant from Team Niall Horan — was crowned champion following voter decisions that reflected America’s overwhelming support. His victory marks a major milestone for the young artist as he edges out a competitive field of finalists including Jazz McKenzie, Ralph Edwards, Aubrey Nicole, DEK of Hearts, and Max Chambers.
Ross’s win caps a dramatic Season 28 filled with standout performances — including his emotionally charged renditions of JVKE’s “Golden Hour” and ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All” — which had audiences and coaches cheering throughout the broadcast.
The finale also delivered a lineup of musical highlights outside the competition. A roster of guest artists and coaches took the stage, keeping audiences entertained between voting segments and duets.
For Ross, the duet with Gina Miles was more than just a performance — it symbolized the passing of the torch between The Voice alumni and the next generation of talent. Fans took to social media immediately after the show, praising the duo’s chemistry and celebrating Ross’s win with the kind of festive spirit befitting the season.
As The Voice heads toward its next season, Ross’s electrifying journey from finalist to champion — amplified by his unforgettable duet of “Last Christmas” — is sure to be remembered as one of the most inspiring finales in the show’s history.
