This was taken from one of my livestreams so I know the videos might not be as centered as my non live streams :)

When the choir turns to face front I cry. It's not really the turn that does it. It's the sudden coming together of all the parts. 😭💚❤️💚❤️💚🎄Every single time.

Now you know why this is my favorite Christmas song of theirs. This is how this song should be sung. Love it! So glad it hit you like it hits me! Thanks for reacting

Been waiting for this one! It is so unexpected and uplifting. Giving homage to Kevin's heritage. It's a favorite.🎅🎅🎅☃️☃️☃️

I love all that they do, they made me love to listen to Christmas music again. Somehow they made all fresh, new and gorgeous all at the same time.

How good is this ?!!!! I challenge anyone to sit still through this performance. Travis your reaction is priceless !!!

Loved this reaction!! You just bopping along while your face was in complete awe at how amazing PTX does this song is just priceless! Keep up the good work!!

So fun, isn't it? You can't help but groove to it! The best version of this song! All others are a bore! Love it! Can't wait for you to do That's Christmas To Me! It shows all of them at really young ages (home video)! So beautiful but so adorable with that home video of the group! Thanks for your wonderful reactions! I am officially uplifted! As with all PTX songs!

This is one of my favorite PTX performances, and in my opinion, the best version of this song I've ever heard. Thanks for reacting to it!

I love when Scott gives Avi a little smile just before the choir enters in full.

I loved how speechless you were after the choir came in!!! 🤣😃

Totally agree, hands down best version ever of this song! It’s like going to the best Christmas Church Revival! Definitely knew that you would love this one Travis ❤️

Travis I loved the grin that you had on your face. The choir really makes this one awesome. This is my most favorite version.

So many Christmas songs sound like funeral songs! For songs that are supposed to be about joy, they sound dark and depressing. This version of the song puts the JOY back in joyful! Great song and great reaction!

Since discovering African Music in the 80s I've been obsessed so of course this is one I return to often. It has all the elements present and correct and authentic. It has always been my favourite PTXmas song though I have to admit The Prayer has me stroking my chin over that. Nonetheless, Joyful and Triumphant right here. Most African Highlife music is. Eeye eeye mmmmmmm.

The "Whaaaat? This can't be real!" reaction u had as u were mentally processing what they were doing to this classic, traditional song, is going to become ur standard reaction to any Xmas song they have. There are a few, like Mary Did u Know, that stay pretty traditional, but the vast majority they creatively reinvent into brand new songs. Some songs may very, like this one started with a twist, but their typical Xmas song formula is one verse of the "normal" version of the song, then a bunch of wonderful craziness, sometimes it'll end there, other times they'll bring it back down to the more traditional sound od the song. They are all epic. This is one of my faves along with God Rest Ye, 12 Days, my Fave things, little drummer boy, Carol of the Bells, sugar plum fairy, Mary, and First Noel...Avi has a beautiful lead towards the end of Noel. Gives me goosebumps.

I love this version and I love them !!!

This is one of my absolute faves of their Christmas music. It's GREAT to drive to in the car!

Love this! Thank You. Encore! Encore! Soooo much more Christmas to do!!! Come on, Travis, GET BUSY!!!!!

Absolutely loved your reaction!! I knew you would be blown away! Thanks for ding this one. It is one of my favorite Christmas carols of theirs. 💕🥰

Yes! Awesome reaction to an amazing song! PTX Christmas is absolutely FIRE!!!

Another reactor said once that this is how this song should always be sung ! Agreed !!

They got you with that one didn't they Travis? I loved your reaction. Total amazement. That's how I felt the first time I heard this version. Who would think to put a calypso beat in that song? They did! And they did it brilliantly. PTX a cut above the rest.

Ah, my second favorite Christmas song by them (or not). My favorite by them is The First Noel with Mitch’s sweet angelic voice and Avi’s smooth, rich and warm voice🥰So serene. Definitely a match made in heaven❣️

I honestly think this is the way the song was meant to be sung. A pure explosion of joy and sound, true rejoicing! This is a truly heavenly performance. Angels are probably dancing every time someone plays it. 😇

Listening to the African influence is so beautiful, Never heard it done so well and rocking a hymn for heavens sake.... "joy to the world" is amazing as well and for me is as good:)

Yay! I"m excited. I love your reactions. Never miss a video. Keep up the great work.

Brother, I cried tears of joy right along with you. I couldn't hold back. What a rendition!!

This has got to be my favorite version of this song too. Its also one of my (many) favorite PTX Christmas songs.

I'm a super fan of them, always all the time, may God keep blessing them always, ,AMEN, for that, like I say it doesn't have to be Christmas to hear their songs

Every time this comes up on shuffle in my car, I just lose it. Hands down, one of my favorite upgrades of theirs and the best version. The meat and potatoes really drives it home

Their best Christmas song performance! And that's not easy to say because of all of the incredible Christmas songs they have done.

I'm so happy that you reacted to this PTX video. Glad that you liked it. Now you know why we have been suggesting it for months. You will also love their version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Please react to it.

This fills me with such joy - I love the PTX take n this classic hymn! Thank you for another wonderful reaction.

I love how PTX brings the joy back into holiday songs. A great reminder to all of us.

I’ve sung in a choir nearly my whole life and all I could think was, I bet this video was a total blast to shoot. So jealous! Whenever this comes on the playlist at Christmas we all start dancing in the kitchen and singing into our spatulas-LOL. Too much fun! Next try Carol of The Bells or Little Drummer Boy. Both arrangements are surprising and will keep you dancing in your chair.

Absolutely loved the song and reaction!

PTX's version of this traditional carol is so very joyous... As it should be! I can't hardly listen to any other version, beautiful as it is. 🤗

Loved it since I first heard it. Makes you want to move to the music.

The first time I've seen anyone choir slapped. Loved this reaction, this song and you!!!

What a fabulous idea to have the choir with them, really beautiful. Well done PENTATONIX & the CHOIR!!!!!! xx

Their Christmas music is legendary and this is one of my favs! So fun to groove out to a Christmas song that’s usually, well, a little boring. Definitely not dance-worthy like this version is. Great reaction!

Fun reaction! I was just like you the first time I heard this...it's still amazing after watching it over and over. Their arrangements are second to none!

Welcome to Christmas with Pentatonix! There's so much for you to enjoy with PTX during this season. So looking forward to sharing more of their signature surprises with you. Great reaction, as always.

So happy you did this one! I love this one and hope you do too.

It's funny how most of PTX's covers...Ummm, I mean Upgrades😊end up being a better version than the original. Just more proof that these five are so unbelievably talented. 😉 So looking forward to more of your PTX Christmas reactions!

I always cry when the choir comes in it makes this extra special

I absolutely love this version of this song, nobody can do a song quite like Pentatonix ❤️

Your 😯 "y'all are gonna give me a choir?" was so funny and cute 🥰

Haha the stank face to stank face, because it’s sooooo good and just gets impossibly better.

Love this--thanks for posting this one! Their upgrades of all the Christmas songs are the best!

So now you know why November first is not too early for Pentatonix Christmas music.

Words. I have no words to describe what happened. Cheers Travis!

I knew you'd love it! It's impossible not to smile and dance along. Avi and Kevin are amazing, and the choir - wow!

I just HAD to see your reaction on this one again….ha, ha! Travis, you are SO funny and a joy to watch and share great music with 🎶🤣

I’m so excited to see you experiencing Pentatonix version of our traditional Christmas songs!! They pentify every song they touch! ❤️‍🔥🙌🏻❤️‍🔥

Oh boy. This is one of my very very favorites. I love your reaction to this. I knew you would love it

That's absolutely how I felt the first time I listened to this. I still feel that way every time.

Agreed. This is hands-down the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Every other version fails in comparison. I love, love, love, the African beat and the choir joining them is everything. This is one of the best showcases of Avi’s bass I’ve heard. Looking forward to many more Christmas reactions! 💜

You make me smile every time I watch you hear Pentatonix!

YES! Finally! One of my favorite arrangements of PTX ever :) I reacted to this exactly the same as you, when I heard it the first time ;-) I would never in a million years came up with such a vibe for this song! And it works so freaking well :) PTX are true artists!

The joyous occasion of the birth of Christ is finally joyous.

hey travis! great reaction! you gotta gotta GOTTA check out their live version of hey momma/hit the road jack where avi blows the speakers!!!! it’s awesome and hilarious! 😂😂

The best version I have heard. They are so amazing. Your reaction is priceless Travis. Thank you for playing this song.

So GOOD! Definitely plan to do 12 Days of Christmas before you go see them live. Scott put up a video of himself practicing his part for that one, so they are likely doing it on tour :)

Love it! This one is right up there with "Mary Did You Know?" as my favorites among their Christmas songs. I'm always bopping along with it, sometimes trying to keep up with the bass harmonies myself.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this Just to see your Face freeze the second you saw the choir Robes. It never gets old

Ahhhh, Travis!! Love your reaction to this one!! A Christmas carol...bop...for sure!. You know what I love in this? At about 5:10 in the video, you see Scott give a quick little side glance/smirk to Avi, as if to say, they don't know what they're in for, what they're about to hear. We gonna blow the roof off this place!!! Love it, love it, love it...and you!!

This is in the top 5 of their Christmas songs for me!!! I love it so much! I totally jam out to it in the car full blast! I knew you would love it too!

Awesome reaction ! You have found your best Christmas song ever ! The build up to the choir gave me Goosebumps ! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !

Great reaction Travis!! This is still my favorite PTX Christmas arrangement!!! Glad you loved it.

Great reaction Travis!! If you liked this one, you'll love their version of Deck the Halls - that one is a bit different, but a lot of fun too!!

This is my absolute favorite Christmas song done by PTX. I can't think of it any other way!

I laughed out loud with your expression when noticing the feet in the red robes 🤣

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and i love how they Incorporated Avi's low notes with Kevin's beatboxing added a new layer to the song that I loved and this is the only version of this song I will listen to now

My daughters class did this exact version for the school Assembly at Christmas a few years back I was so stoked to hear pentatonix blasted throughout the school

Hello Travis! Travis, Travis, Travis!!! I was waiting for you to do this one and when I saw it, I dropped everything and clicked on. I love Pentationix. I love their version of O Come All Ye Faithful. I love your reactions. So I knew I would enjoy this. Your first question "Is this O Come All Ye Faithful?" made me laugh and I thought, oh boy, you are in for a treat. This is another masterpiece of PTX, with all the PTX elements - perfect musical arrangement, a rising crescendo, lots of ear candy, Avi deep and resonating, Kevin beat boxing and keeping the rhythm, Scott riffing, Kirsite belting and of course Mitch smooth, piercing and angelic, and how wonderful to bring in the choir! You are right this is absolute fire. it gets me up and dancing every time. I was waiting for you final comments, but your lack of any comment at all said everything!

This has become one of my favorite Christmas songs

I love the fact that you were so overwhelmed by this amazing performance that you couldn’t even talk at the end. Hilarious! (In a totally relatable way, since I too was stunned into silence the first time I heard it. Goosebumps for days with this one!) 🤘🏾

Glad you finally got to this one. I love, love, love what they do with this song. This one is just so cotton-pickin good I don't know why more people don't react to it.

Some might think their version of this song makes it less Christmasy (?), less worshipful, BUT HEAR THEIR ABSOLUTE JOY in singing. To me, this lifts the hymn to a different level because there is definite worship there.😍😍🥰 This is praise and worship of Our Lord with JOY!

You are always a joy to watch and I’ve loved this version since I first heard it🌺

Hands down the best. You are correct. My favorite!!!

I agree! Best version ever. Such joy!!!

This is why Christmas music season starts whenever the album drops for the year. Smartest artists in the industry. Christmas is theirs. Joy to the World and Little Drummer Boy are my favorites.

Sang the normal version every Christmas in Catholic school choir and this version knocked by socks off. This is the best version of the song I have heard.

Yup. By far the best version of this song I've ever heard. What a ballsy move, to put an African theme on a classic Christmas hymn. Since the holiday season is rapidly approaching, you may as well just start stacking holiday song reactions. In many of their covers, they have almost redefined the genre. And their versions are often measurably better than the classics we've come to know and love. And every time they do it, we're stunned that they managed to surprise us with a holiday re-arrangement, simply because it happens so rarely. Most covers are faithful to their originals, maybe a twist here or there, but mostly the same, just a different voice. PTX usually decides a new version is in order, and they kill every single one they do. It's no coincidence that their best selling albums are typically the holiday releases.

I told you! Great huh? Couldn't wait for this one! Thank you for reacting! Loved it! When you turn it on in the car.....Heaven! I have all their Christmas CD's. But this is my favorite! Love the spin of PTX.

i love love this version of this it makes me dance every time i hear it

My favorite part of this video - your face at 4:30 and then you stop the video and say "Y'all are about to give me a choir. I'm... I'm not ready." LOL! Travis I LOVE your reactions!!!!

"This is, hands down, the best version of this song I've ever heard." Yeah, you're gonna be saying that a lot as you go through their Christmas catalog. Have fun. :)

Another fun one like this is their version of joy to the world. Done the year before this. Can’t wait until you’ve discovered all their Christmas music. So much to catch up on still. They’ve made 6 Christmas albums plus one Best Of Pentatonix Christmas that included 4 new songs.

I love love love this song. I sort of lost my mind the first time I saw this. 😲 You’re right, this is the best version ever of this song!!!

I. LOVE. THIS. SO. MUCH!💗

I Love this video thank for playing This Travis 🙏🏽❤️❤️

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. So good

Loved your reaction to this, especially your face when you interrupted yourself when Mitch took the second verse. Made me smile! 😊

Priceless reaction. Laughed so hard. Thanks

Love that you had no words at the end!!!! Perfect!!! 😂🤣

watching your reaction was every bit as good as this song...your joy made me cry.
