Sky and JT were guided and mentored by Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten all season long.
"I'm going to miss seeing Alan and JT the most," Sky told co-host Frankie Muniz following her final performance. "They mean a lot to me, and I never wanted this to end."
After Frankie and his fellow host, Jordan Fisher, announced Sky's Dancing with the Stars: Juniors victory at the end of the broadcast, she said with tears in her eyes, "I just want to say to everyone, you're all winners and I love you all and am going to miss you so much."
Sky and JT won the show based on the combination of judges' scores they had received from Sunday night and last week as well as the votes that had poured in from the Dancing with the Stars ballroom audience during the last two performance shows.
Dancing with the Stars: Juniors featured a judging panel combined of DWTS pro Val Chmerkovskiy, Dancing with the Stars: Athletes winner Adam Rippon, and famed choreographer Mandy Moore.
Sky and JT walked away with a special mirrorball trophy in the shape of a star on Sunday night.
The four finalist pairings each performed two dances during the finale -- a repeat routine from earlier in the season that featured each couple's professional mentor and one special holiday-themed freestyle.
