They upgraded their upgrade I absolutely love this version better ❤

This version is amazing. You mentioned Carol of the Bells. If you have not reacted to their version from Christmas Under the Stars special (it is live) you really should. It is so much better than the video. It is unbelievable!

Greatest version of this song I've ever heard. That makes me emotional EVERY TIME I hear it.

If you didn’t hear Kirstie then you need better headphones. I heard her loud and clear.

I’ve seen them do it live. Amazing!

Yes, the most epic version ever. And I've heard every version, because it's my favorite Christmas song ever. They displaced CELINE DION as my #1 favorite version. If you knew how big of a Celine fan I am, you'd understand how nuts that is!

Aren’t they just perfection?!

This was released pretty close to Christmas 23, so that is likely why the views aren't higher. I have a feeling they will spike when Christmas 24 approaches! It is passionate, beautiful, and completely epic. And yeah, I think Scott, Matt, Mitch and Kirsin all took a star turn vocally. Kirstin has the fastest most gorgeous vibrato!

One word: GRAMMY!!!

Loved your reaction to this Matt! Truly Epic arrangement that really pushes their amazing talents to the extreme!!

There are no words in any language that can describe the beauty of this performance. This was just transcendent. This was not a Wall of Sound, this was an Avalanche or a Tsunami.

Oh Matt! I've been waiting for you to hear & see this! Thank you for the reaction! ❤

This version of the song o holy night is my favourite. I had goosebumps all over my body. I hope to see more reactions of you. Please react to pentatonix' version of 12 days of christmas. It is incredible.

You don’t realise you’re holding you breath while Kirstie’s voice is climbing until she stops and you let that breath out.

That last note is held for 13 seconds BTY

Thanks for the reaction. It is so stunning and never fails to k ock my socks off each time I hear it

Fantastic reaction Matt! Thank you

I think this is absolutely the BEST version ever (Grammy! Grammy! Grammy!) and is definitely one of the best arrangements they’ve created. It stuns me every time I hear it (and I’ve heard it A LOT). 💜

I totally agree. This is Epic PTX. And I love your reference to being on the top of Mt. Everest. Best version ever!

You should try to see them live. Kirstin is actually better live than in the studio.

There's an autobiographical #PTX song named "The Lucky Ones." Unsurprisingly, it underplays the amount of talent and sheer hard work that has gone into making them so successful, but I have to agree with the basic premise - #Pentatonix HAS been lucky. How lucky was it that Mitch, Kirstin, and Scott were all born in the same small town, at roughly the same time? How lucky was it that Scott met Ben Bram, and that Ben worked on _The Sing-Off?_ How lucky was it that Ben knew Avi, and that Avi was willing to join with The Trio so they could audition for _The Sing-Off?_ How lucky was it that Kevin posted a celloboxing video to KZfaq, where The Trio could find it? How lucky was it that a young man on the fast track to becoming a brilliant heart surgeon was willing to give all that up in order to join three teenagers and a bass on a television talent show? Do you see a pattern here? All of the really lucky things that have happened to Pentatonix are people things - running into the right person at the right time. And nowhere is that more evident than in Matt being available just when they needed a new bass, and Ben Bram knowing about him and suggesting that they invite him to audition. From his earliest performances with Pentatonix, Matt's warm, vibrant voice has been such an asset, whether he was "just" backing Kevin up on rhythm or whether he was soloing. But his voice has been improving steadily over the years, and now it's downright spectacular. Pentatonix made a good choice when they decided to re-record "O Holy Night." The new arrangement that makes full use of Matt's voice is SO much better than the 2012 version. I think this song is Grammy-worthy.

I have missed you and absolutely loved your reaction to my newest favorite PTX song lol. You were spot on!!!!

If you ever have the opportunity to see them in their annual Christmas concert you absolutely owe it to yourself. It’s always worth the effort

Yes yes!!!! These 5 has talent beyond words. Appreciate you. Greetings from South Africa

You are right. This is epic! 😮

To take you a bit aside, I know you've always had an appreciation for Avi Kaplan's solo music, even though you haven't reacted to any for quite a while and you're way behind, so I wanted to provide a different take for you on "O Holy Night". This was the first time after leaving PTX that Avi had performed a Christmas song. He put together this arrangement literally on the fly toward the end of his 2022 US tour as a thank you to the fans in 3 Texas cities - Dallas, Houston & Austin - as he'd had to postpone their concerts earlier in the tour, due to a family emergency. Those shows were rescheduled to the end of the tour, right before Christmas, and this was his special surprise gift to those 3 cities and he did it as his final encore, giving the song a little Texas twist. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8mmlZWitLuUn2Q.html

Breathtaking! Oh, and J. Timberlake WISHES he could sing like Scott Hoying! Lol! Btw, Scott has a cd out called Parallel that is 🔥🔥🔥. Came out last Aug. Love you!! 💜 ( So very happy you are back doing more Ptx - you will not be sorry! 😉)

This video makes me cry every single time, just because it's so, so beautiful. It's like being transported, as an old lady, far back into a crisp, cold December night when I was young, all my family was still here with me and my faith was strong, innocent and unquestioning. It's magic of the best kind, and I'm so grateful to PTX for giving it to us.

Missed you. Hi😊

I’ve probably listened to this at least once a week since it came out and it still gives me chills. Just stunning.

I was just waiting for Kirstie to unleash her epic belt on you. I already had the image of you being blown back in your chair. Here's 1 more like to help you beat a thousand.

Yeah!!!! You're back. We missed you.

BEST VERSION EVER!!!!!!!!

It only took 6 months but it cleared copyright! 😂

Love them! Tim dropped a small earthquake with that one. Country? Yeah it’s from Johnny Cash so it’s country. They made it more of a reggae style version (their judges on the Sing Off wanted a change up for it). It’s different and I like it. Good to see you again!

Matt!!!!! Yay!!! So glad I found this! We Pentaholics have MISSED YOU!! Omagosh- if you haven't seen Kissed by a Rose yet, PLEEEEEASE react to that. It will blow your mind! Do the Vevo live version. Love you sweetie!!! 💜💜💜

Hello Matt! How are the doggos? Well, in six months it will be Christmas eve so this reaction is timely lol

I love this video , thanks for the reaction. Welcome back. U can do PTX christmas music 365 days a year. You look great!

So great to see your reactions again!!
