On their Christmas albums PTX usually include some songs that are not actual Christmas songs. These tend to be songs with either a wintry feel, or are feel good songs.
check out their dance of the sugar plum fairy. it won them the 2nd grammy. You can hear Avi's low notes all through the song and you're right it's like a vibration in your ears.
Absolutely LOVE this video and love that so many school choirs and young singing groups are picking this up and learning the clapping sequences from the PTX tutorial! The harmonies are outstanding! And Avi……aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Matt is a fine bass but Avi's resonance is core shaking. They actually have the choreography for this so others can try LOL. That's just pure harmonization.
The sound when Avi and Mitch's voices are featured together is one of my favourite things. Don't talk to me about packages tied up with string and warm woollen mittens. They haven't got a look in.
A lot of school studens have performed this Pentatonix routine, including the hand movements, during school music events over the years. Thanks for the reaction. There is no need to go through the words of the song looking for Christmas content. It is not there. Since "Winter" was in the title, that was close enough for including it on the album. lol.
You are spot on with feeling Avi's voice - I'd never thought of it that way, but knew that's how I felt about it too, so thanks for putting it into words!! Merry Christmas to you and yours, hope you meet your goal!!
Thank you for doing this one. When you said at beginning it would be full of surprises for you....I thought ....Oh boy, that's an understatement! I was watching your face as the chest slapping started and then your expression and head shake, as the voices started with Kirstie, then Mitch , then Scott, then Avi, then Kevin - layering and stacking. Then I expected your smile when they started slapping each other! Who would think of that? Only PTX. This is one of my favourite PTX covers - the voices, the harmonies, the sounds of each of them that you can hear individually and yet collectively. So cleverly done and so creative as always. The singing is impeccable, the coordination of slapping and clapping and snapping is just great. I love doing this PTX journey with you. Already subscribed.
💚 it's almost like an urban legend that it's about french revolution and beheaded partizans tho the intended meaning is not that light either """ Robin Pecknold ((of Fleet Foxes)) told Mojo magazine January 2009 that he intended this gently uplifting song to be like "Whistle While You Work" from Snow White - something to hum along to as you do the dishes." Pecknold added that the words tell a more painful story about loss of innocence. He explained: "From first grade to high school I spent every day with the same bunch of kids. And it was weird to see how people I had known so long would change so quickly - suddenly they're drug dealers. I hated it. How did our friendships become less important than wearing a backwards baseball cap?" / The line about the scarves keeping their heads secured on their neck is a subtle nod to the Brothers Grimm fairytale, “The Juniper Tree”, though in the original they used a handkerchief. """ It is like when people speculated in Avi's 'Quarter Past Four' video the lightbulbs symbolizing the 6 years with PTX or the members then a fan asked him in person and he said sg like "oh I didn't know people thought this?" & that's just a pretty reprezentation how depression closes in on a person (lights going out 1 by 1) So back to the original topic, the christmas-y element is the word "snow" 😃
Definitely not a Christmas song. Unless the red-as-strawberries blood on the white snow after the guillotine got through with them made it Christmasy due to the colors. The red scarves around their throats is the blood pouring out of them.
Avi has such a deep, penetrating resonance…his voice hits me in the feels every time!
That is why this song is one of my stim songs!

Not exactly a Christmas song, other than the title, but still an outstanding cover!
Never heard this before!! Surprise!
Pentatonix videos are so creative. They are amazing to watch. Don’t hear anyone doing what they do..thanks for the reaction
Love how you said you feel avis voice. Hes so underappreciated in the aspect of what he actually is doing same as kevin
I love "You don't hear Avi's voice, you feel it"!!! That's exactly it!!!
They had to really be careful where they took Avi. I think he could cause an avalanche with that beautiful, wonderful, amazing bass.😁❤
Absolutely LOVE this video and love that so many school choirs and young singing groups are picking this up and learning the clapping sequences from the PTX tutorial! The harmonies are outstanding! And Avi……aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I like Matt, I really do, but whenever I listen to a PTX song with Avi, I do 💙💙💙 those amazingly low notes!
Avi's bassline can always be felt so true. Loved your reaction as always.🎄☃️

I don’t know how they did this. I can’t pat me head and rub my bell. This is amazing to me. 😮😮😮😂❤❤😂❤❤
The innovation and arrangement of this performance, as well as its catchy melody, exemplifies everything I love about PTX.
This one is fascinating to watch their choreography 💜
You are spot on with feeling Avi's voice - I'd never thought of it that way, but knew that's how I felt about it too, so thanks for putting it into words!! Merry Christmas to you and yours, hope you meet your goal!!
I read a comment that Matt's voice hits the basement, Avi's voice hits the earth's core.
There is a tutorial on just how to learn the hand-slapping routine. Really. They're very thorough!!
❤
I'm gonna look that up!!
Is it a tutorial by them?
❤

This group never ceases to amaze me!!!
Here's hoping Santy Claus brings you 7k!! 🎄
Great reaction! I love this song!!
Exactly the way I feel about this song too. It never gets old.
This one is emulated quite a bit by other groups, mainly school singers, I think, but some of them are quite entertaining.
I love this so much. Thanks for the reaction.
Love this! At the end of the video there's a link to learn the clapping routine. LOL, tried it, I failed!
Another of my fav's yay. Great Reaction.
Yeah - Avi has this effect on all of us.......
subscribed since you asked so nicely
I love your reactions. Well done! Looking forward to more. I have always loved this song from them. Different but awesome.
This Is my 3rd favorite Pentatonix song. I miss Pentatonix with Avi 😢😢
♥ I requested this on Patreon earlier today. I can't believe it came out so fast! Thanks!!

So back to the original topic, the christmas-y element is the word "snow" 😃
Ptx was just showing off the wall of sound and the layering that they are so good at
Thank you for your reaction! As always you do a wonderful job. 🤗 Merry Christmas from Tennessee 🇺🇸 🎄
Thank you so much and a Merry Christmas to you 😀🎄
Am loving your reactions. Merry Christmas. Have a safe holiday season. 🎄
Thank you so much 😊
Um...it's more a dark theme if you know it's history. haunting feel.
You should watch Mary Did You Know?!
Definitely not a Christmas song. Unless the red-as-strawberries blood on the white snow after the guillotine got through with them made it Christmasy due to the colors. The red scarves around their throats is the blood pouring out of them.
