Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy (another Grammy winner!) and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen are a must!!!

Now you understand about PTX & Christmas songs! If you want to hear some others that they completely revamped check out first Over the River (you'll be shocked, truly! And it's nominated for a Grammy for the album Evergreen) then Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Grammy Winner), My Favorite Things, Making Christmas, I Just Called To Say I Love You, & Carol of the Bells live from Christmas Under The Stars (aka "Mitch BREATHE!"). My fav Xmas originals are Thank you, Invincible, & That's Christmas to Me! Great,honest reaction! Loved it!

I'm sure someone has beaten me to it but, you know the monotonous "12 days of Christmas"? Ptx blows it out of the water. You would love I think. They have 7 Christmas album so there are plenty of songs to choose from.

This is the way this song was MEANT to be sung - with unbridled joy!

They gave this a very African sound and beat. They did a similar thing to Joy To The World on their 2022 Christmas album. The song is called LOVE CAME ON CHRISTMAS (JOY TO THE WORLD). Just audio only but a great listen.

I understand that Kevin brought this to the band. It's his homage to his Nigerian father and Grenadian mother. Your next upbeat kind of Christmas song needs to be 'Joyful, Joyful.' (Live from the Evergreen Tour) kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6dsstptgKTZmto.html

So Joyful and triumphant...so the so g starts

Two words: Silent Night.

Please do Pentatonix Grammy winner Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, it’s 🔥

Definitely worth a bop! I love it when they’re calling ‘come all ye faithful’ and you see the feet of the choir coming into view. And then, wham, big sound! Way to go, Kevin, for the inspiration. Love your reaction, as always. (Have you done Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies yet? They won their second Grammy for it. If you have, apologies.) Peace from Ohio …

Having a separate pentatonix playlist would help us know what you've listened to and reacted to in the past. But if you have yet to do so, I highly recommend Little Drummer Boy and Mary Did You Know!

I agree. There ia a huge community of Pentaholics who love to watch (and re-watch) reactors so making them easy to find in a separate Playlist will definitely increase your views.

Kevin arranged it an homage to his Nigerian roots. You have to give props to Kevin who kept the beatboxing and Avi the bass throughout.

This is in my top 5 of all their songs, not even specifically their Christmas music. I love this one so much!

Who knew a Christmas song could be gas?? 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌

This was an incredible arrangement. Pentatonix puts their own spin on anything they sing. A great song from them is Carol of the Bells.

Pentatonix gave this 200 yr religious peice of music an uplift...and gave it such joy.

Great reaction, thank you! PTX has a pretty extensive xmas catalog ( well over 200 songs) and they put their special spin on each one so ya better get busy! Like many people I was totally burned out on xmas music and started dreading the holiday season. PTX will kick-start that right out of you. Even the most dreaded '12 Days of Xmas' has been brought back to life! But better to start with: 1) God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 2) Making Christmas (yes - that one) 3) Carol of the Bells 4) Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (second Grammy winner) and 5) Mary Did You Know That's a good start, but anything you pick will be outstanding. Hurry, hurry!

This isn't your father's Christmas carol! Kevin's arrangement has totally reworked this song, and made it into a real bop! For a song where they did something more like what you were expecting, try God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Starts off very traditional, then PTX starts to work its magic, and while I wouldn't consider it a bop, they really changed it up.

Thanks for this, always great to listen to a reactor with musical knowledge! To continue having your Christmas-music mind blown :), check out their 12 Days Of Christmas, Joyful Joyful (the live version from their Evergreen tour 2021! best recording by far!), Carol Of The Bells, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen!

I LOVE Christmas songs which is how I discovered Pentatonix in the first place. I do enjoy the classical songs which Pentatonix does so well, but I also love hearing their versions. They can do NO wrong. I'm looking forward to you doing more anything Pentatonix.

I have never liked "I Saw Three Ships" until I heard Pentatonix's version from last year. I think you would probably like it. Very upbeat.

That was an African Christmas, I was in Ghana for Christmas with my family, there is no gift giving but you spend the day in church with this kind of amazing music. Then there is massive family dinners.

The very best version of this traditional carol EVER and it will ALQAYS be the best version. A true masterpiece.

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!" PTX style. 😃🤗😃

Deep Southern Gospel Praise Dancing at it's finest!! They have a WIDE catalog of upbeat and bouncy christmas songs. Up On The Housetop. Go Tell It On The Mountain, Hark The Herald Angels, Jingle Bell Rock, Little Saint Nick, Joy To The World, the list goes on!

Three things: 1. Where have we ever been able to DANCE to Come All Ye Faithful? I love this version by PTX. 2. You face at the beginning…wait, do I have the right song? 3. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is another SUPER Christmas “cover” by them! Wait.. one more thing. 4. Thank you for doing PTX Christmas reactions! I’ll look forward to each one!

Can you imagine if your church choir was asked to sing back up for Pentatonix!!!!!!!

This takes you to church and then MAKES you dance. I love this. Thanks so much for your reaction.

Never hear this the same!!!! Joyful, Frickin Yes!!! Love PTX and how they make everything their own special spin and treat!!

Thanks for reacting to this, it's one of my favorite Pentatonix songs.

This is SO in the PTX way of doing things! They were able to show reverence for the song and the season, while bringing a level of joy that this song, while beautiful, is not known for…

Love, Love, Love this rendition of the traditional song. This is suppose to be the energy for the birth of the king of all kings!

Can't wait for you to do more PTX Christmas!!!

Love watching people react to this song. I have yet to see anybody who can sit still while watching it - you find yourself 'chair dancing' and grinning every time!

It’s surprisingly good haha

The African vibe that Kevin put to it made this so much more celebratory than solemn. I can't sit still when I hear this. It makes me so happy, and I am really pleased that it made you bop too. I love this reaction! Excellent job!

Excellent reaction! Loved how shocked you were 😂. Last year they released Over The River (over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house we go) and it will blow your eyebrows off. They put it in a blender, spun it around a bit and completely turned it on its head and I’m obsessed with it-I think you’d love it.

The pure joy from Kevin is everything!

If your vibbin with this you need to check out their cover of amazing grace

Yeah, Pentatonix is the upgrade to Christmas!! Thanks for a great reaction!😁😁😎

Kevin input his love for African rhythms that comes from his father in this traditional European Hymn. It's a wonderful mix of European hymns and African rhythms.

Thank you for reacting to this lively Pentatonix video. Please react to Pentatonix "Hark The Hearld", "12 Days Of Christmas" and "Little Drummer Boy". After Christmas, please react to Pentatonix original, "New Years Day". There is no official video but there is a video of them singing it live for an NBC New Year's Eve show years ago.

I loved this version. I imagine taking a Christmas cruise to the islands and local group busking this on the docks.

Even with ALL of the singers in the group and the choir...you could STILL hear Avi's low notes at the end....

Great reaction, like you I think Christmas music could use a few more vibey retellings of the classic story. The fact that they're Christians means that they take their Christmas music very seriously, and that means that they do it with joy, and humor. Changing the rhythm of a song doesn't mean that you don't respect what came before, it means that you loved it enough to try to make it appeal to a different audience. God loves Him an African beat just as much as a Gregorian chant

Whatever you expect from a PTX Christmas song, they are going to surprise you. Every song on their latest album is worth your time. The entire thing is going on my holiday play list. Can't wait to see you react to more❤️💚❤️💚❤️

This is one of the most joyous songs they sing!

As I'm sure others have told you, this version was arranged with Kevin to honor his Grenadian and Nigerian parents. Many others have described it as having a "Lion King" feel, but that's just the African roots of this song. I. Love. This. Version. It's so joyful and uplifting, unlike the version we sang in church all the time. I'm glad you reacted to this one. All this Pentatonix Christmas music is getting me in the spirit of the holidays which has been lacking for quite a number of years. Cheers to you and yours!

I love, love, loved this! They say you can't judge a book by its cover! I very rarely click on any videos and or make any comments! They are remarkable, and outstanding and very unique! I've just dismissed them entirely, thinking they were some form of punk rockers! WOW was I wrong! WOW 🥺😳😮

They are great and I love watching your face knowing what it's going to do to you!! I read previous comments to see what was suggested and I didn't see Silent Night, Mr. Grinch, or Where Are You Christmas or Thank You (which is a original written by Scott and his fiance) Love watching your reactions to them!!

Definitely recommend “god rest ye merry gentleman “ it’s pretty epic

Their new video "Kid on Christmas ft Meghan Trainor "is one to watch. It's awesome!

First of all, Great Reaction! Loved it! Then I just have to say, PTX owns Christmas when it comes to music! They have the corner for sure! Next I think, Carol of The Bells, Joyful Joyful!, White Winter Hymnal, Over the River, and from their new Christmas Album, Prayers for this World. A lot of enjoyment to come. Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you and Yours!

Personally, I love Christmas music of all kinds. But I really love PTX's versions! Sadly, it seems to be the only kind that gets any radio play. My Favorite Things and 12 Days of Christmas are pretty upbeat and fun. But even their slow ones are so gorgeous they can't help but brighten up the room.

Most of your comments have already mentioned all the suggestions I would've made for PTX Christmas songs. But one that I didn't see mentioned is their version of "Deck The Halls". I feel like it gets overlooked sometimes but I LOVE what they did with it. Also, I believe it's the 1st song they recorded with their current bass Matt (replaced Avi (guy with the beard) as the new bass in 2018)

You so have to listen to Joyful Joyful video from their Evergreen Tour!!!!

One of their best in my opinion 🙂 I highly recommend checking out Joyful, Joyful (Live from the Evergreen Experience) If you've seen Sister Act 2, this'll excite you all the more 😊

This is the only version of this song that should ever be broadcast on radio. PXT will keep Christmas songs from becoming boring.

Deck the Halls has a bit of a twist to it too... but O Come All Ye Faithful is by far my favorite.

One of the things new Pentaholics learn from them is to expect the unexpected.

Hard to have a short list of Five Favorite PTX songs, but This Song Is On It 🙌🏻💃🏻 Up Top PTX Owns Christmas : )

Love the original....adore this! I will say, even when PTX keeps Christmas songs slower, they still add so much to them and make it worth a listen even if you don't normally love the older versions. I recommend Silent Night (live) - the old one, not the new version - as evidence.

If church was this lit, they'd have to sell tickets.

You are so right. Such a unique and beautiful rendition of this song. Pentatonix is so creative, they almost always re- invent and improve the songs they to cover. Thank you for a great reaction, I look forward to the next.

I can't listen to another version of this song. It's absolute joyful perfection.

Christmas songs aren’t boring to me. Kelly Clarkson, Jewel, The Judds and so many more so love :)

If you ignore Kevin and Avi (hard to do I know) the song is the same with a variation on the chorus. Exactly the same as we have sung forever. Kevin and Avi are the embellishment that changes the whole feel.

Fantastic reaction!

Despite the echoes of African, this is one of the songs that brings Christmas close to me. This also includes, for example, PTX's "Mary, did you know" I'm not a believer, but this can bring you back to church...

These guys are great!!

Welcome to PTXmas!

Love the reaction! PTX brings the JOY back into holiday music! If you didn’t rock out to this I’d say you didn’t have a pulse lol. Try the Little Drummer Boy. That’s a feel good one. Want a good cry, try Say Something.

This one is one of my favorites señor! Thank you!

I know that you may have your reactions already chosen for this season but since you're reviewing Pentatonix this month, may I make a couple of suggestions? I love their versions of Silent Night and Joy to the World. But I'd also suggest their covers of 12 Days of Christmas and Little Drummer Boy because neither of them were previously songs that I liked at all but they are playlist favorites for me now. Enjoy the season!

And he's off!

After you react to some more Pentatonix Christmas music, you might understand why many of us feel it's not out of place to listen to PTX Christmas songs year-round. ;1

Recommend their live performance of Joyful Joyful from last year’s Evergreen tour.
