As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his Jan. 20 inauguration, it's time to look back at the last big bash at Mar-a-Lago, Trump and Melania Trump's annual New Year's Eve party.

Guests included SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his son, boxing promoter Don King, Vice president-elect JD Vance, Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Michael Waltz, nominee for education secretary Linda McMahon, longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone and former pro wrestler and actor Triple H or Paul Levesque, chief content officer of the WWE, and his wife Stephanie McMahon.

Donald Trump Jr. and Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, Eric Trump and Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos also attended.

While local Vanilla Ice performed at the party in the past, this party included live music from a Village People Tribute band, who most definitely played one of Trump's favorite runs, "Y.M.C.A."
