The Obamas are arguably––well, really it’s a fact––the coolest First Family we’ve ever had and for the annual Christmas tree lighting at the White House, the President invited some of his favorite performers to hit the stage.

Of course, Chance the Rapper was there; the Obamas’ love for the emcee is well-documented. For the annual event, Chance performed “Sunday Candy” alongside a choir and collaborator Nico Segal and the crowd loved it––especially Sasha Obama, who was caught rapping along.
