And the winner is…! Dancing With the Stars crowned its season 25 Mirrorball champion on Tuesday, November 21, after what might be one of the toughest competitions the show has ever had. All three final couples — Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold, Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas, and Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson — earned perfect scores for their first dances of the night, and two of the three also earned perfect scores for their second dances.
Alas, once fan votes were counted, there could be only one winner. And that winner was…
#TeamFishUponAStar, Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold!
Prior to Jordan and Lindsay’s big win, there was plenty of fun to be had (and early Christmas cheer to be spread), thanks to performances by Kelsea Ballerini, Becky G (accompanied by Lindsey Stirling on violin), and past season 25 contestants including Vanessa Lachey and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Derek Fisher and Sharna Burgess, and Victoria Arlen and Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
Check out the final three couples’ scores below!
