When James Corden filmed his Christmas special for Carpool Karaoke, with the likes of pop superstars Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, P!nk, Sam Smith, and the one and only Harry Styles, he almost certainly didn't expect a smacker from Harry!

The Christmas special was uploaded to YouTube yesterday (11th December) and is a compilation of some of the biggest names in pop singing 'Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town'. James starts the video wearing a Christmas jumper and a Santa hat, with a white fluffy trim. In the video montage, recorded at different times throughout the year, James gets in a festive spirit with loads of different artists.

While the entire video is brilliant, it is the last 40 seconds, when it comes to Harry Styles' turn, that there is a surprise for James.

The TV host turns to Harry and says, "Happy Christmas Harold." The pair then look at each other for a moment, and then lean in for a kiss! If that wasn't enough, Harry then grabs James and plants a big kiss on his lips!

James then laughs, "Wow, I did not expect that for Christmas!"

Watch the full video below:

This year has been another fantastic year of Carpool Karaoke guests for James, who has seen the likes of Ed Sheeran, P!nk, Sam Smith and Fifth Harmony (together!), Will Smith and Game Of Thrones' Arya and Sansa Stark.

When Hollywood actor Will Smith joined James in the summer for the first of his new Apple Music show, the pair belted out some of Will's biggest tunes including 'Gettin' Jiggy wit It' and his 90s classic, 'Boom! Shake The Room'. Watch the preview for the episode below.
