During a sit down with PEOPLE and his Backstreet Boys bandmates Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough ahead of hosting JCPenney’s Live Holiday Spectacular earlier this month, the singer said that he feels likeChristmas Vacation’sbeloved dad Clark Griswold during the holidays.
“I got three kids, two girls and a boy, and they’re all really young, so I’m pretty much like Clark Griswold putting up all the ornaments and the decorations outside and the trees,” said Carter.
Just like Griswold’s Christmas tree that catches on fire, Carter said he also had an “epic fail” with his own tree last year.
“I had to buy this thing to get the bulbs working so I was outside with a staple gun, ladder,” he said. “But that’s kind of a tradition for me doing the daddy duties and setting up all the decorations.”

Last month, Carter shared scenes from his Thanksgiving just three weeks after his younger brother,Aaron Carter,died at the age of 34.
“So thankful to spend some quality time with all our loved ones on Thanksgiving,” Carter wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “We hope you all had a great time as well. 🙏🏻.”
Though the brothers had a tumultuous relationship over the years before the singer’s death, the pop starhonored his sibling in a heartfelt Instagram tribute, writing about how his love for his little brother “has never ever faded.”
