Darci Lynne covered “All I Want for Christmas Is You” with her ventriloquist mastery
In another cover of Carey’s Christmas classic, the Oklahoma native sang “All I want for Christmas Is You” with her puppet Petunia, bouncing back and forth between lines of the song.
As Lynne sings the opening lyrics of “I don’t want a lot for Christmas,” she then hands the mic over to Petunia to belt out, “There is just one thing I need.”
Petunia is one of the puppets Lynne performed with on America’s Got Talent at just 12 years old, first wowing the Judges with her ventriloquism cover of George Gerswin’s “Summertime.”
