Fans of the _Magic Mike_ star should not expect to see his abs peeking out of his turquoise Queen Elsa of Arendelle costume, which he wears with a messy wig.

The actor will be facing off with his wife, the actress and dancer Jenna Dewan-Tatum, in [the episode](http://time.com/4157043/tatum-frozen-lip-sync-battle/) airing January 7 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
