You know those African-American choirs you see in TV or movies, who like to give their own twist on Christian and Christmas songs? This is exactly how this song sounds like, and I love it.
There’s no such thing as “ African Americans “. Your either African or American. There are several countries in Africa and they don’t call themselves African. Stupid analogy. The correct response would be gospel. Stop the “moronic woke labels”
I LOOOVE this song cause it's so calm and original from 0:01-0:47and then BOOM HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING SING HARK THE HERALD HARK THE HERALD SING AND HARMONY AND BEAUTY AND JUST AMAZING.

Well, to me, it reminds me of the SeaWorld show 'O' Wondrous Night' they play every year during Seaworld's Christmas Celebration, and I was so lucky I got to see it two years ago! Now, everytime I hear this best version of one of Christmas' greatest gospel songs ever, it brings me back to my very first SeaWorld vacation back in 2018!
I remember my mom bought this CD and this was the first song, she played everyday in December when we drove to school... 6 years ago I’m getting nostalgic listening to this
My 3 year old son loves this song! He has spina bifida and dances to this when you begin the soul part, his face alight with a huge smile. Thank You for this very fun and inspiring version.
+Figgle Shoemizer, Jewish to Black, actually. As a Jew, I'm cringing because I'm thinking, "How would the African-American community like if we took their music and gave it a klezmer twist?" While some wouldn't mind, others would; and the Anti Semitism would sadly follow.
I love this time of the year simply because it seems like everyone is singing about my Lord and Savior, even on secular radio and I absolutly love it! Merry Christmas everyone!
The thing I love about Pentatonix is that they can take on any song and make it sound so amazing in their own awesome way. I still can't get over how perfect their songs are. Best Christmas album EVER! :D
This is why I love Pentatonix so much...They have the ability to ACTUALLY change the melody of one song but still having the same lyrics! YOU PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!!!
the reason why i think it's scott is because right after the upslide in the note, he does a downward riff that sounds like scotts falsetto. i will say it does sound like mitch tho, but if you listen closely, im almost certain mitch is singing background with kirstie =D
I think it is Mitch cuz just the tone of Mitch's voice is so unique and it definitely fits that note. plus after the high note, Mitch goes " oh oh uh" (something of that character lol) and Scott overlaps AND Scott says King really fast right before the note if you listen carefully Scott is singing with Kirstie :) This is for sure Mitch.
Now that is The way to praise The Lord through music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My church sang this song and I loved my fave pasted did Kevin he did so good and I'm so happy that I found a boy that looks like Kevin . 2016 listing to This
I love Pentatonix Christmas. I listen to them every year. I especially love the ones about Jesus; like this one. They all got their very own unusual beautiful voice.

The background reminds me of the thing you put on your tv when you don't actually have a real fireplace.
like in Ryan Higa's "Run for president" video?
Yeeesss!!!
+CM Kha When he was running it from Netflix? 😂
U mean a Yule log??
my mom does that all the time lollll
when you wear headset you can really hear avi's deep voice so good!
I was like "daaaaaaaaaaang!" when I first heard him drop that bass line, it reminds me of Simon Pryce for some reason
I'm so mad why do I get excited for Christmas in summer

Scotts killing it as always
+The Dreamer Chick Riff King!
Is it weird that I get really happy at 1:09 when he says "sing"?
they startled me by all of a sudden they go from calm to pop jazz in your face! ♥
I felt like I was in a southern black church and Im here smiling like an idiot and enjoying this song so much!
i don't care if it's the middle of the summer: this is STILL amazing. #majorpentaholic
Reminds me of Sister Act... I would love them as the church chorus!!!!!!!!!!
Well, to me, it reminds me of the SeaWorld show 'O' Wondrous Night' they play every year during Seaworld's Christmas Celebration, and I was so lucky I got to see it two years ago! Now, everytime I hear this best version of one of Christmas' greatest gospel songs ever, it brings me back to my very first SeaWorld vacation back in 2018!
Why am i listening to this in July
Just Joanna same
Because it's Pentatonix
Cobajawi14 very true
+Just Joanna September 2015 - because its always penatonix time
raelene scott true very true indeed
Wasn't ready for them to "take it to church" at all, fun, different and full of energy, really enjoyed it!
Even though Christmas is over, I SHALL STILL LISTEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
I remember my mom bought this CD and this was the first song, she played everyday in December when we drove to school... 6 years ago I’m getting nostalgic listening to this
I sang this for a Christmas play at school. I was 6 and now I look back and I’m 9 now
My 3 year old son loves this song! He has spina bifida and dances to this when you begin the soul part, his face alight with a huge smile. Thank You for this very fun and inspiring version.
BEST VERSION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the very first song I ever heard of these guys!
1:30 to 1:45 and 2:22 to 2:39
Avi's bass just hits me at these points
I needed a little Christmas in June...
Marry Christmas people! Just 6 months before Christmas🤣🤣🤣
This is actually my favorite Christmas song
Ally Kubas me to
Ally Kubas agreed:3
I just love your profile picture
"hark, the herald angels sing; glory to the newborn king" = "I know when that hotline bling; that could only mean one thing"
Mythical Productions oh my shit that actually works
I hate everything about you
AHAAHAHHAHAHAA
😂
I really like the Gospel touch in this song
These folks are making America great again.
Avi's voice in the beginning .. .ah omg !!! so in love !
How can anyone in existence dislike ANYTHING FROM PENTATONIX? THEY ARE AMAZING.
Went straight from white to black.
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
+Figgle Shoemizer, Jewish to Black, actually. As a Jew, I'm cringing because I'm thinking, "How would the African-American community like if we took their music and gave it a klezmer twist?" While some wouldn't mind, others would; and the Anti Semitism would sadly follow.
+Morgan Harris, a Jewish Christian wrote the music.
+Morgan Harris I'm doing a book report I believe his father John Wesley or great great grandad
+Morgan Harris, actually, you ought to Google "Black Anti Semitism". You'd be amazed at how much is out there.
Pentatonix appealing for the black vote 😍😍😍 hit it out of the park with this one!!!
The way they write their songs are just so unique. I got obsessed with this album in 2016, and I still love it!
I love this time of the year simply because it seems like everyone is singing about my Lord and Savior, even on secular radio and I absolutly love it! Merry Christmas everyone!
K
house elf yeah!!
hail wotan, christmas was pagan
The thing I love about Pentatonix is that they can take on any song and make it sound so amazing in their own awesome way. I still can't get over how perfect their songs are. Best Christmas album EVER! :D
This is a daily request from my girls... still even in April and I don't ever complain! We sing loud and proud in my car!
Of course I'm listening to Christmas in August!! And it's 90 degrees + outside!!
Hehe! Where I live it is always warm at Christmas! Last year it was 38 degrees! (100 in Fahrenheit)
Julia r last week it was -30 degrees for me.... WHYYYYYYY
+Diego Gonzalez this year it will be 40 (104 Fahrenheit!) my city will be the hottest in the world for Christmas 😅😅
Julia r lucky lol, I kinda like the snow though :)
This is why I love Pentatonix so much...They have the ability to ACTUALLY change the melody of one song but still having the same lyrics! YOU PEOPLE ARE AMAZING!!!!
I love how it sounds real upbeat and like retro at some points. PTX y'all just are so amazing
I was NOT expecting that beat drop! I pulled my hands away from my keyboard when it hit, it caught me so off guard.
I love how we get to hear Kirstie sing in a 'classic' singing voice in the beginning, her voice is beautiful like that :)
May pentatonix be the most famous one...luv u pentatonix....❤❤❤❤
August??? No problem. Let’sgooo!!!!
Amazing vocals
Their voices are so freaking lovely
+Briana Grey SO IS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE OMG
+Kalista R ^.^ Thank you
Scotts voice at 1:07 is so beautiful. :)
Pentatonix is giving us one hell of a Christmas present!
If this song doesn't get your black choir preacher shit on I don't know what will
Took the words right out of my mouth
AMEN!
It's turnt up version.... awesome
Most likely my favorite Christmas song. And they sing it up beat as I always felt it should be done.... With Joy!
I sang this song on Sunday, and I love this version including the men choir singing go tell it on the mountain.
This reminds me when I was in the youth choir it was the best time of my life we had a lot of fun
Jumping on my bed, in the spirit. Heaven are you hearing this?
2:37 O.o SCOTT!!!!!
At first I thought you were making a mistake when I first heard that but then I realized that Mitch was singing w/ Kirstie. HOLY CRAP SCOTT!
Bianca Gomez I know. I was convinced it was Mitch until this disagreement came up. I'm still not completely sure who it is but I believe it is Scott.
the reason why i think it's scott is because right after the upslide in the note, he does a downward riff that sounds like scotts falsetto. i will say it does sound like mitch tho, but if you listen closely, im almost certain mitch is singing background with kirstie =D
yup that's definitely scott
I think it is Mitch cuz just the tone of Mitch's voice is so unique and it definitely fits that note. plus after the high note, Mitch goes " oh oh uh" (something of that character lol) and Scott overlaps AND Scott says King really fast right before the note if you listen carefully Scott is singing with Kirstie :) This is for sure Mitch.
0:24-0:28 is some magical harmonizing.. and the rest of the song is every other form of magic
they were all.... and then they just.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that is The way to praise The Lord through music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's almost March and I'm already listening to PTXmas music. ..cuz that's what Pentaholics do. :3
Yes :3
It's May and I'm already/still listening to christmas music,

I'm actually dancing like a maniac right now!!!💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Same here, and lip syncing! XD
what an intelligent way of mixing sounds acapella. You talk to the past and bring it to us with pop twists!
This arrangement somehow reminded me of Sister Act Joyful Joyful. They started slow then gospel. I love it!!
PEACE ON EARTH! OMG I love that part LOL. Pentatonix is the best a Capella group in the world! I especially love this song!
this is such a great version of the song. they put excitement into my heart for christmas
MY FAVORITE SONG FOR CHRISTMAS BY PTX.... THEY DID A GREAT JOB EVEN THOUGH IT IS 2 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the best Christmas Album in a long time.
I love Pentatonix Christmas. I listen to them every year. I especially love the ones about Jesus; like this one. They all got their very own unusual beautiful voice.
My favorite song, modernized. I'm in heaven.
