Lance Bass Says Twins 'Freak Out' When They Hear New *NSYNC Song on the Radio: 'It's Very Special' (Exclusive)

"Better Place" marks the first time Bass' twins get to know their dad's musical side

Lance Bass' kids are already *NSYNC fans!

Speaking with PEOPLE about his partnership with Boursin Cheese to introduce a collection of holiday essentials, The Maison Boursin Connection Collection, the father of two, 44, also opened up about how special it's been to share the group's new music with his twins — Violet and Alexander, 2, whom he shares with husband Michael Turchin.

"It is very special. It was unexpected to be doing a song this year. It's been incredible. Unfortunately, we're not able to promote it or perform it, which is a bummer," he says. "But it's so great to be able to have something out there that my kids can enjoy."

Before recording the pop track  "Better Place," for Trolls Band Together, Bass says, "I never thought that they would ever be able to see Dad on stage or hear a new song on the radio."

"So, when we're in the car and the song comes on and 'Better Place' is playing, they freak out and they're like, 'Ah!' And they know that that's Baba on the radio," he shares proudly. "It's special for me, for them to be able to hear that and see what Dad does. And, who knows? Hopefully, in the future, we'll get to give them a little more."

The singer is also looking forward to sharing something else that's special to him with his kids — the holiday season.

"Holidays are so much better with kids. I am a holiday freak, I live for the holidays," he laughs. "And the last few years, it can get a little disappointing. Christmas comes and goes and you're like, 'Ah, I didn't really get to do the things I really wanted to do.'"

"But now, with kids, you really make the effort and you see the holidays through fresh eyes," he continues. "You get to do those traditions that you got to do when you were a kid, and it just makes you so happy to see them so happy."

"The holidays are just so much more magical these days. I love keeping a lot of the traditions that I grew up with, but I like trying to find our own traditions, which has been fun to naturally progress and happen."

In May, Bass spoke exclusively to PEOPLE, opening up about how he's been getting outdoors with his twins. "We've been getting in a lot of core memories lately, that's for sure," he said. "Now that the weather's great, we're spending a lot of time outside."

To his parents' surprise, Alexander has been enjoying exploring playgrounds and slides.

"I thought he was too young for that but definitely not," Bass said. "He immediately went to the big boy slide and went head-first down. I can't believe he was that brave, but he loved it. I have a fearless boy on my hands."
