THIS is how this song was meant to be sung - with unbridled joy! I get the chills each time when I see the feet of the choir coming in because I know the pure glorious sound that's coming up. And when the choir smiles, my heart soars.
This rendition brings me to tears every single time I listen it! This is how we should be rejoicing and celebrating the birth of Christ! Just such a wonderful and moving experience!
Love the “chair dancing” ❤ no one wanted to ruin the surprise about how good their rendition of this song is. Glad to see you liked it. This is the only rendition of this song I want to hear now. Greetings from Tennessee 😊🇺🇸
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you're hearing this. It's, indeed, one of the best!!! Talk about pure joy!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
African beat and choir=happiest Christmas song ever. When you watch it again, notice Scott's little smile at Avi just before the full choir reveal. Kevin is relentless, and the kids are so attractive and young. Also, whatever their parents paid for their dental care was well worth it.
Random ptx fact. When they won Sing off and then got dropped by their label, the first person who helped finance them was a celebrity dentist. Nick Lachey was the host of the show and his dentist went one show and fell in love with ptx. He helped them find apartments, contacts etc and helped finance some stuff. If you watch their first produced video, Starships, there is blatant dental advertisement in that one and there exists videos of them performance for dental employees. So... that explains the teeth, haha
@@HyggeDk while that is true, the story that Rebecca tells is also. Scott, Kirstie and I believe Kevin not too long ago did a podcast with the dentist who helped them out. Also if you look at old videos of Scott he’s had his teeth done since then. When first off the sing off he never had teeth that went perfectly straight across. Now his teeth are perfectly lined up and all the same size across. Plus there is definitely product placement for teeth whitening in Starships. Then they all suddenly had very white teeth.
This is my ALL TIME favorite Christmas song of theirs!!!! And I saw their Christmas concert live last year from 3 rows back. This is still my favorite!! The energy, the homage paid to Kevin’s roots! Taking the kind of boring traditional and creating something exciting and fresh! Bravo once again PTX!!!
I understand why Kevin looks so happy with this one. How can you not be happy listening to this song sung in the africans style....so infectious with the good feelings. WOW!!!
Kevin arranged this song in honor of his Nigerian heritage. It also won a Grammy so he should be happy and very proud. He is a musical genius in my opinion
We told you so!!! The first time I heard this, it had me dancing around my house like a lunatic...but I was wearing headphones, so my husband started doubting my sanity. I played it for him, so he understood the dancing, but he still doubted my sanity because he didn't like it. That's when I started doubting *his* sanity.
A very good friend of mine told me it wasn't for her, she is more into the 'traditional' carols. I felt bad for her, because her mind wasn't open, I couldn't understand why she didn't even feel it!.. so sad....
My husband doesn't like PTX in general. This year will be my 3rd VIP PTX concert - all of them by myself because he refuses to go with me. BUT...he's not completely hopeless...he saw Avi Kaplan with me twice this summer!
YES! YES YES YES!!!! Imagine me diving across the room to give you a great big bear hug, brother!!! You did it! Wasn't it fantastic!? You gave me such joy sharing this with us! And you made me happy because - since I'm one of the nuts that have been screaming for you to react to this video - I got to share the joy with you! Love you, man! Now, just to keep you from getting complacent... The next two Pentatonix Christmas songs you should go for are Silent Night, and The First Noel! I mean, you're not going to know what to with yourself if we're not harassing you, right?! 🥰
I do not believe in things for which there is no good evidence, so I am not at all religious, but I LOVE me some Christmas music, especially by Pentatonix and a little extra with the choir.
My daughter is living in Calgary, I'll be teasing her about the weather. Here in Wisconsin, it's 65 Fahrenheit. I LOVE this one, glad you are getting into Christmas songs!
Loved your reaction. None of their Christmas music is what you expect, but especially this one. I haven’t seen a reactor yet who didn’t “chair dance” with a huge smile on their face.
Little Drummer Boy is my favorite Christmas song and the PTX version is amazing! THEN, I heard this. I love this version of O Come All Ye Faithful so much! Your reaction was great.
Love it as you do. I don’t think I can ever think of this song other than their rendition. Every reaction I've viewed has put as smile on everyone's face. Just amazing!
This version takes you to church! I was so so excited to see that you were reacting to this one. I KNEW you'd gush all over. How can you NOT get moving and believing when you hear music done so joyously! It moves me every single time. They are masters of music in every way. I need to join a church that worships like this. Thank you for making me cry happy tears from watching you so fully enjoy this. 🥰❣❣❣❣🥰
Oh man, I couldn’t click on this fast enough as soon as I saw you’d reacted to O Come All Ye Faithful!! Your reaction was everything I was hoping it would be. 😁
Easily the best feel good song you will ever hear! I defy anyone who thinks they can sit still while watching this one, you can't help but dance in your chair. Best Christmas song by far, my absolute favourite. What they brought to this song is unbelievable.
I’m so glad I caught this so early! I have been laughing at your reaction but I truly think everyone has had your reaction the first time they heard it. Now I can’t imagine hearing any other version. This is Praising the Lord with ultimate joy,🥰😍🙏 Love your reaction by the way! I do hope you play it at your work but not too often. This deserves the delight and joy of your co-workers and customers and not have them get tired of being it almost constantly played! Take care!😊🖖🏼💐
This is my favorite Pentatonix song! I listen to it all year round. The birth of Christ is a happy occasion! There should be jubilation and dancing! Sooooo much better than the somber traditional version. On my worst days when I am suicidal, I listen to this song and I get to see another day. Love PENTATONIX!!!
No one can upgrade Christmas like Pentatonix! I love watching first reactions to this. They always start by saying they have gotten countless requests for the songs and don't quite know why or what a treat they are in for and usually can't get the words out for a coherent review. Amazing isn't it. This is a true celebration of the holiday day. Surprise😂🤣😂
Yyyaaasss!!! So, so good! By far my favorite of their Christmas songs… which is saying a lot because I freaking love their Christmas music. It’s such a crime that they are so under played on main stream radio. You hear their Christmas songs a little bit more often here in the states than the rest of their music, but definitely not enough for my taste! It’s a crime that these amazing humans haven’t been exposed to a larger audience that would definitely adore them. Love your reactions. Looking forward to much more of their Christmas music reacted to on your channel!
Hooray!!! I’ve waited & waited for you to do this one cuz I knew everyone was requesting it… your reaction didn’t let me down…I loved it!!! Thank you for finally getting to it & giving us such a joyful reaction 😊
This is a song of celebration sung how it was supposed to be. I'm not Christian but this arrangement is just so happy and makes the usual version sound like a dirge.
Hi Matt. It's always nice to see you enjoying PTX so much. For the next Chistmas Songs I hardly recommend this three songs: 12 Days of Christmas (Matt singing the lead) Over the River (ft. Lindsey Stirling) That's Christmas to me (written by Kevin)
Phenomenal! I felt the same way as you did the first time I saw it. Who thought this song could be covered and danceable (if thats a word lol) ♥️♥️♥️, loved your reaction.
“I need to read different dictionaries of, like, new words” is prob my favorite reaction to that moment when PTX leaves ppl tripping over their tongue until they realize their emotions exceed the limits of language. Love it!
If you're anything like me, it's going to take you days to wipe that smile off your face. I just love this song and I loved your reaction to it! Cheers!
Kevin Olusola is happy man because he had a lot of influence with the arrangement. His father is Nigerian and mother is Grenadian you can hear that influence in this song. BTW Matt...Merry Christmas! When was the last time you danced to "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"? You started down a new rabbit hole with Pentatonix Christmas. I love the way they put their PTX spin on the older Christmas carols along with some of the more current Christmas songs. Enjoy!
Hello Matts...Pure Pentatonix Perfection. Makes you want to get up dance every single time. The vocals, the ear candy, the dancing, the choir, the beat, the happy smiling beautiful faces of PTX - fantastic.This arrangement, singing and video deserve a medal. Best part is when Mitch looks like he will dance right out of the screen into our living rooms with that big happy smile. PTXmas in full force !!!! Loved your reaction - so glad that you enjoyed it.

Yep. Every time.
Every. Single. Time.
That moment when the choir turns and comes in full blast...gets me every time. So much joy in that sanctuary.
Awesome reaction ! I love this song by PTX, because it's special, lively, and fun. Thank you !!!!❤
Did we mention that Pentatonix "DO" Christmas?? This is just a SAMPLE!!
BEST. CHRISTMAS.SONG.EVER!!!😊😊🤣🤣😊😊Told ya!
This rendition brings me to tears every single time I listen it! This is how we should be rejoicing and celebrating the birth of Christ! Just such a wonderful and moving experience!
My favorite ❤️
My favorite!!!❤
Speechless - me too
My new word is pentaprise. They give you one with each traditional Christmas carol.
Now you understand the reason this was so heavily requested, haha! So much joy.
“12 Days of Christmas” is going to knock you off your feet. I promise.
Every time you'd pause (blown away, cheeks hurting) I'd think, "Oh, he's so not ready." 😁🤣
PTX Dominates 🎄 Christmas!!
“Silent Night” NEXT Please 🙏🏼
🙌🏼🙌🏼
~Pentaholic from Louisiana
Yes but must be the one in the church with Avi.
@@adam.4487 Thanks! ☺️
I forgot to include that it’s the LIVE version in the Church
YES!!! Not just for church anymore. . . Hands up and dance! New words dictionary entry, Pentastic: the condition of a song when sung by Pentatonix.
I love that, Pentastic! Who needs a dictionary?
And this is a Penomenal version of this old Christmas standard.
louella..Luella... you coined a perfect word for them!!!
Brilliant Bonnie!
Joyfull!!!!
Blows everything else out of the water, doesn't it. I knew you'd go nuts over this.
PTX Perfection ❤️🙌🙌
best version of this song ever made.
Love the “chair dancing” ❤ no one wanted to ruin the surprise about how good their rendition of this song is. Glad to see you liked it. This is the only rendition of this song I want to hear now. Greetings from Tennessee 😊🇺🇸
Amen.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you're hearing this. It's, indeed, one of the best!!! Talk about pure joy!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤
Impossible not to feel pure joy and want to dance during this. It almost makes me cry happy tears every time.
Serious Lion King vibes. No one does Christmas music like Pentatonix.
This is one of the best Christmas songs of all time now! It’s beyond words.
Isn’t this the MOST Splendiferous way to praise the Lord????🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏

You can't help but be happy after watching this 😊
I think Mitch’s mom is a dental hygienist. So that explains his perfect teeth.
@@HyggeDk while that is true, the story that Rebecca tells is also. Scott, Kirstie and I believe Kevin not too long ago did a podcast with the dentist who helped them out.

@@hernameispekka_Rebecca Another poster said that Mitch's mom does dental work. It shows.😁
Yes, PTX made it into a song meant to dance to! 😍😍😍😍😍
The only Christmas music I listen to (or would allow if I had control at work) is Pentatonix and TSO.
Simply epic nothing else to say about this performance love it and your reaction was brilliant I’m beaming with you x
You're always welcomed!
Smack my face joyous!!!
This is my ALL TIME favorite Christmas song of theirs!!!! And I saw their Christmas concert live last year from 3 rows back. This is still my favorite!! The energy, the homage paid to Kevin’s roots! Taking the kind of boring traditional and creating something exciting and fresh! Bravo once again PTX!!!
I was sitting in the 2nd row for my show of the Evergreen tour. This year, I'll be in the front row. And I absolutely can't wait!
I love watching the reactors, almost without exception, scrambling… looking confused…double checking when Avi and Kevin start out the vid!!!
The first line says it all..
Joyful and Triumphant...!
MAry Did You Know is mine (been my favorite since before PTX even formed their group) but this is my favorite xmas song PTX does
I understand why Kevin looks so happy with this one. How can you not be happy listening to this song sung in the africans style....so infectious with the good feelings. WOW!!!
Kevin arranged this song in honor of his Nigerian heritage. It also won a Grammy so he should be happy and very proud. He is a musical genius in my opinion
Inspiring
I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot because your reaction is just like mine the first time I heard it!
Sooooo much more to come.
Faster. FASTER!
This has to be the best version of this song ever! 💖
Everything they cover is better than any other artist or group, it’s insane their talent
Silenight, first Noel
Best reaction I’ve seen in a long time!
We told you so!!!
The first time I heard this, it had me dancing around my house like a lunatic...but I was wearing headphones, so my husband started doubting my sanity. I played it for him, so he understood the dancing, but he still doubted my sanity because he didn't like it. That's when I started doubting *his* sanity.
LOL that's funny! My husband didn't like it either. Some people, the only taste they have is in their mouth! Too bad cuz they miss out on the joy!
A very good friend of mine told me it wasn't for her, she is more into the 'traditional' carols. I felt bad for her, because her mind wasn't open, I couldn't understand why she didn't even feel it!.. so sad....
My husband doesn't like PTX in general. This year will be my 3rd VIP PTX concert - all of them by myself because he refuses to go with me. BUT...he's not completely hopeless...he saw Avi Kaplan with me twice this summer!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this version, you can't listen to this and not be happy!! I also love that you just don't have the words...so true when you listen to Pentatonix
YES! YES YES YES!!!!
Imagine me diving across the room to give you a great big bear hug, brother!!! You did it! Wasn't it fantastic!? You gave me such joy sharing this with us! And you made me happy because - since I'm one of the nuts that have been screaming for you to react to this video - I got to share the joy with you! Love you, man!
Now, just to keep you from getting complacent...
The next two Pentatonix Christmas songs you should go for are Silent Night, and The First Noel!
I mean, you're not going to know what to with yourself if we're not harassing you, right?!
🥰
Thank you for being my harassing, I mean encouraging, Pentaholic partner. 😁
@@kristipierce4735 we got this! ☺️
Yep we won't steer you wrong. Such a happy song still makes me cry tears of joy
One cannot watch this video without a smile appearing on one’s face.
I do not believe in things for which there is no good evidence, so I am not at all religious, but I LOVE me some Christmas music, especially by Pentatonix and a little extra with the choir.
Ditto!
Here it comes...
MATT 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯- I am so happy right now!!!! Thank you 😁💜! Now about Joyful Joyful (live from Evergreen Experience….)
Yessss, we all told you that you would Love it
Oh my gosh!!!! It finally happened!
I knew you’d love this one!!
By the way, it is 74 degrees Fahrenheit here in Cincinnati, Ohio today. 😂
Ohio here to but doesn't this song make it seem like snow and lights and music that's PTX gift to us all
My daughter is living in Calgary, I'll be teasing her about the weather. Here in Wisconsin, it's 65 Fahrenheit. I LOVE this one, glad you are getting into Christmas songs!
70° here in Green Bay today Tamara. After yesterday‘s almost 80°, who could complain about October in Wisconsin???
@@risacornette7636 Sadly the colder weather is coming our way. Was wonderful to have this weekend to wear shorts one last time for the year.
I was so happy to seen this reaction Video. It was so much Joy. I hope you do a reaction Video about the vocal range from mitch. That was awesome.
Are you ready for "Silent Night"? I'm not sure but maybe .... ♥
Loved your reaction. None of their Christmas music is what you expect, but especially this one. I haven’t seen a reactor yet who didn’t “chair dance” with a huge smile on their face.
Little Drummer Boy is my favorite Christmas song and the PTX version is amazing! THEN, I heard this. I love this version of O Come All Ye Faithful so much! Your reaction was great.
Exactly my feelings. Traditionally, I've always love Little Drummer Boy, but once I heard this...
This is by far the best version of this song, at least for me! Great reaction! Thanks!
This is - this is - extraordinary? stellar? masterpiece? NO, it's PENTATONIX!
Pentaholics will never steer you wrong. This is my favorite of all their Christmas music. You could play this every day and I would listen every day.
Love it as you do. I don’t think I can ever think of this song other than their rendition. Every reaction I've viewed has put as smile on everyone's face. Just amazing!
It's my favorite. It makes me happy year around. They bring me joy with this song.
Thanks for such a fun reaction to one of my favs. This song should always be sung with this much joy
The PTX wall of sound + a choir 🤯 I would’ve loved to be in the pews in the church that day and hear it live.
This version takes you to church! I was so so excited to see that you were reacting to this one. I KNEW you'd gush all over. How can you NOT get moving and believing when you hear music done so joyously! It moves me every single time. They are masters of music in every way. I need to join a church that worships like this.

I have listened to this masterpiece so many times and it gives me chills every single time.
‘Sing in Exultation’! This is absolutely the only way this song should be sung, overflowing with happiness and joy. Loved your reaction!
Lol - I’ve been waiting for you to watch this one. Expected you to love it. Wasn’t expecting it to break you. 😂 A total favorite!
So glad you finally got here! Welcome to my favorite ptx song. I have about 20 2nd place but this is my #1 favorite bar none
I'm thinking people would be too distracted to shop. I bop like a fool listening in the car. Love those low notes build to the choir.
No one can upgrade Christmas like Pentatonix! I love watching first reactions to this.

The absolute BEST!!!! Pure Joy!! "Joyful, Joyful" live is amazing as well. You never here this song the same for sure! Great reaction.
They made it a modern song that you really want to sing, move to it's message. I love the look Scott gives to Mitch's solo at the end. He's so proud.
Your reaction when the choir joins in! Priceless. Loved this reaction and I of course love this song. Great job
Isn’t that the happiest thing ever? It’s every bored church kid’s most amazing, get-up-and-dance, totally unexpected Christmas song.
Loved your reaction. This is THE BEST!!!
Hi Matt.
It's always nice to see you enjoying PTX so much. For the next Chistmas Songs I hardly recommend this three songs:
12 Days of Christmas (Matt singing the lead)
Over the River (ft. Lindsey Stirling)
That's Christmas to me (written by Kevin)
Phenomenal! I felt the same way as you did the first time I saw it. Who thought this song could be covered and danceable (if thats a word lol) ♥️♥️♥️, loved your reaction.
I get to see them live next weekend and what I love most about them is they sound basically the same when performing live
“I need to read different dictionaries of, like, new words” is prob my favorite reaction to that moment when PTX leaves ppl tripping over their tongue until they realize their emotions exceed the limits of language. Love it!
makes yiyu feelm joyful always!
If you're anything like me, it's going to take you days to wipe that smile off your face. I just love this song and I loved your reaction to it! Cheers!
t h i s 🔥🙌🏻🔥
this is in my top five faves of all PTX songs ever 🙌🏻
I've been waiting for this one 🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻
You nailed it. It's in the style of an African Spiritual song. I absolutely love their treatment.
YAYYY!
I had SO MUCH FUN watching you watch this! Awesome song, awesome reaction! 💖💖💖
Kevin Olusola is happy man because he had a lot of influence with the arrangement. His father is Nigerian and mother is Grenadian you can hear that influence in this song.
BTW Matt...Merry Christmas! When was the last time you danced to "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"? You started down a new rabbit hole with Pentatonix Christmas. I love the way they put their PTX spin on the older Christmas carols along with some of the more current Christmas songs. Enjoy!
