“Last Christmas,” performed here by Pentatonix has been covered by many artists since it was first recorded by British pop duo Wham! in 1984, but, as always, Pentatonix brings something unique and special to their work!

For this recording of a well-loved holiday song staple, the five-person a cappella group that formed in Arlington, Texas is joined by HIKAKIN & SEIKIN, a Japanese duo and real-life brothers. The brothers, dressed in silver jackets over black and wearing dark glasses, sing in front of a red background. In contrast, Pentatonix vocalists wear a variety of red outfits and make their music while standing in front of what looks like silver tissue paper. It is visually satisfying!

The seven artists are shown in little frames—a collage of Christmas crooners. Against the silver tissue paper, Pentatonix members and their friends appear in the frames arranged across a red-and-white wrapping paper backdrop. 

Perhaps, one fun thing about Pentatonix is the way in which they dress and behave to reflect their individual personalities. Beatboxer Kevin wears plaid, while baritone Scott wears a red, leather jacket over a sheer shirt. Tenor Mitch wears a long red jacket over white, and Kristin is flirty in her glittery holiday tunic. And, the group’s newest member, Baltimore’s Matt Sallee sports a printed shirt under a black jacket.    

Notice, too, how well HIKAKIN & SEIKIN sing their parts in English. There is only a slight sound of their native tongue. And, HIKAKIN holds his own very well during a beatboxing volley that begins at 2:25. It’s amazing! 

The song just can’t help making listeners smile, even though it is about a sad romantic encounter. The words tell the story of a disillusioned and dejected partner:

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart

But, Pentatonix, you never let us down! 

This song, along with 11 others are included on Pentatonix’s sixth holiday album, released in late October, 2022. The album titled Holidays Around the World includes recordings with artists from around the globe. 

“I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,” Genesis 26:4

“The First Noel” sung here by Everly Fair may become a new favorite. It has all the elements: beautiful ladies beautifully dressed, angelic voices, and soul-stirring lyrics. Enjoy!

Meet, if you don’t already recognize, these gorgeous songstresses, Mandy Mariscal (left) and Lauryn Evans (right). The two best friends are Everly Fair. Together, they do Christian, country, and pop music covers and have performed solo, as part of the trio Charlotte Avenue, and currently as a duet over the course of several years. 

In this video, they lend their lovely voices to words that have eternal meaning!

Here are four lines from the English carol, first printed in its modern style in the 1820s. 

And to the earth, it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel Noel Noel Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!

Mandy and Lauryn, dressed in frothy, fluffy gowns, resemble crimson-clad angels or perhaps princesses. The ladies commented on a Facebook post, “If we were 100% honest, part of why we do Everly Fair is so we can actually order things like these huge puffy red dresses that have been sitting in our Amazon carts forever.” We get it, girls! And Lauryn’s blingy boots are really cool, too! 

How appropriate it is—Everly Fair sings in an open field, where the stars surely shine brightly in an open sky at night. They look positively regal, and their voices blend into heavenly harmonies! However, these believing ladies know that while they bring the best of their talents and gifts to the tune they sing, the glory goes completely to the King of Israel, whom their song is all about!

At 2:47, they boldly and beautifully sing the word “Noel,” synonymous with the word “Christmas,” one last time during the song. They send praises upward to Him and bless all of us in the process! 

Thank you, Everly Fair! You’ve done far more than a “right fair” job!

Listen to this wonderful performance by Andrea Bocelli and his children, Matteo and Virginia, as they sing their song ‘The Greatest Gift’ on Jimmy Fallon.

“​​Come and lay your head upon my shoulder, look outside the stars are shining bright
Even though it's turned a little colder, we can light a fire, stay inside
Hear the angels sing, hear the angels sing, Hallelujah from above
Singing peace on earth, there'll be peace on earth
If we open up our hearts and give a little love”

What a lovely performance, and it is heartwarming to see Andrea performing with his kids. All three of them are so talented!

The Christmas album that the Bocelli trio recorded together is called A Family Christmas, and it includes this song ‘The Greatest Gift.’

Many people shared online about how much they enjoyed this performance of their original song.

“Three singing angels! What a beautiful musical family! Love them all!” comments one person after watching the video. “Andrea Bocelli has left us the best legacy - his singing children who carry a piece of him in their soul and voices.”

“Love is truly the greatest gift,” another person writes online. “And like the song says, ‘Together take a moment and be grateful for the joy, for the tears.’ This song is truly beautiful and their voices blend so well together!”

The Bocelli family's Christmas album also includes a collection of traditional carols arranged for the three voices. And each member of the Bocelli family gets a chance to shine on A Family Christmas with solo tracks, duets, and trios.

“We are offering our small, intimate, and heartfelt gift to anyone who wishes to enjoy the soundtrack of Christmas in the Bocelli home,” the family trio say of the album.

And Andrea Bocelli shares about how special it was working on this project with his children. ​​“I think there is nothing more beautiful than making music with your kids,” he said.

“I consider it a privilege,” Matteo added. “Singing these songs together, feeling the holiday warmth with my family is something really special. That’s what Christmas is about – making memories together to cherish forever. It’s really exciting to think that people will have a copy of our album sitting wrapped under the tree.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this special Christmas performance from the Bocelli family today!

Check out ‘The Toys’ Waltz’ Christmas song by Celtic Woman. The combination of their voices and the music is absolutely magical and delightful. Celtic Woman combines traditional Irish music that brings in theater and classical musical elements. 

Their performances include Irish history too. Add in Christmas, and it’s enchanting. The music video captures the wonder of Christmas too! I don’t know who’s having more fun, the kids or the ladies that make up Celtic Woman. 

Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish ensemble that has been around since 2005. The group was created by Sharon Browne, David Kavanagh, and David Downes. The original Celtic Woman was comprised of four vocalists Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Órla Fallon, Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, and Máiréad Nesbitt. The current performers are Tara McNeill, Hannah Traynor, and Muirgen O’Mahony. 

What makes the group unique is its ever-changing performers since its inception, but the signature sound of Celtic Woman has remained the same. They sing classical favorites, and contemporary songs, and include their own original songs while keeping Ireland at its core. The group has sold over ten million records and has been named Billboard’s # 1 World Music Artist of the Year six times!

Their angelic voices and instrumental talents are memorizing to watch. The Toy’s Waltz’ is especially enchanting to watch as the music video is set in a large mansion filled with Christmas magic as Children decorate the tree and play with toys. 

The Celtic ladies are dressed in elegant red dresses that add even more charm to the moment. The scenery changes as the group venture into the woods to find an illuminated carousel! I don’t know who is having more fun, the ladies of Celtic Woman or the kids, as they merrily ride around on the carousel. We hope you enjoy this enchanting music and magical video that is perfect for Christmas time.

Giving the glory to God, Justin Aaron sings “You Made A Way” during his final stirring performance on The Voice. At 6’4, Justin is a big man with a humble heart!

After singing his final Top 8 performance on December 5, Justin landed in the bottom four of the group. He then sang in the Instant Save competition, which allows America to cast their votes for one of the four to progress to the Final 5. Justin’s cover of Travis Greene’s 2015 “You Made A Way” did not garner the votes he needed, but it sure does leave listeners with goosebumps!

The first verse of the song goes as follows:

Standing here not knowing how we'll get through this test
But holding onto faith you know best
Nothing can catch you by surprise
You've got this figured out and you're watching us now    

Entertainers know how to add emotion to their work, whether in acting or singing or dancing, but Justin is not merely interpreting the song for the judges and viewers at home. He’s owning the words! He sings with passion, because he feels the words!

Justin lives in Junction City, Kansas, and he works in the behavioral department in a high school there. He has faced hard times, including losing four people in his life to COVID-19; one of those was his father. He has also battled depression. However, he finds strength in his faith, introduced to him by his mother and instilled during his upbringing in a Christian home. Justin currently serves as the praise and worship leader at the church he attends.

Though we don’t get to see the judges’ reactions in this video, Parade shared Coach Gwen Stefani’s comments about Justin’s performance and his time on the show: “That was amazing. That was so powerful. I could see you were deeply in that song. I am so emotional now. I have been up all night praying for you. I think America watching you be so vulnerable, to watch you grow before our eyes, that’s been the greatest gift for everybody.”

For Justin’s part, he is extremely grateful for Gwen’s support of him. She was the only judge to initially turn her chair around to select Justin. According to NBC Insider, he shared with her before the final results were announced, "I would like to just say thank you. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for taking a chance on me, thank you for your ‘Yes.' It has been amazing to work with such an icon that you are."

Best wishes to Justin as he continues his musical journey! We think he’s headed for great things, whether in a classroom in Junction City, on a stage in Music City, or somewhere no one down here imagines just yet!

You’ll want to add “Kids on Christmas” by Pentatonix, with some help from Meghan Trainer, to your Christmas playlist! This is from the new album Holidays Around the World by Pentatonix. Their new record features collaborations with artists from around the globe; this is the 7th Christmas album for the group! They know how to do the holidays!

The song is new, but the video seems like a blast from the past. With vintage cameras and sound equipment and stylized film quality, we step into the filming of a variety show. A host with a hefty head of dark hair and dark shades introduces the “festive little number” using his pencil-thin microphone. It looks like the 1970’s!

The girl behind the camera wears a jumpsuit with a neck scarf, and the guy manning the yellowed controls has a long mustache and a denim shirt that’s open more than most these days. 

Meghan Trainer and Pentatonix are dressed in an eclectic assortment of get-ups, but they include wide collars, a lime-green, polyester maxi dress, feathered hair, and one pretty long afro. All this is set against a backdrop of gold streamers!

The camera woman and the control guy look bored as the song starts slowly with Ms. Trainer singing the opening lines. They’re just putting in their time. But the tune takes off at 1:00!   

A lively, lyrical listing, the song includes several wishes that amount to making old folks feel young again at Christmas! The six singers are in full dance mode, and by 1:13, the number has the techies gently moving their heads—warming up to the song!

When the words refer to turning 87 and going on 11, Jumpsuit Girl has her hands in the air, and Mustache Man is smiling ear-to-ear! Stockings full of candy canes, hooves on rooftops, dancing sugar plums, flying reindeer, halls decked, snowflakes falling, and Santa letters read in full! These are the images that soon have the crew away from their posts and pulling out all of their dance moves!

By the time the anthem to holiday good humor ends, everyone is back in place. But, they aren’t bored. They are rejuvenated! 

The holidays do lighten the spirits of most, and for those resistant among us, maybe they need to check out “Kid on Christmas.” It’s a fun one, likely to get those born in the 70s or approaching 70 to think just a little bit younger!  

“A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:13

This father-daughter duet of “What Christmas Means to Me” by Mat and Savanna Shaw may have you dancing while you’re baking cookies, wrapping gifts, or doing whatever it is that feels like Christmas to you!

The father and daughter that began uploading videos during the COVID-19 pandemic is going strong long after the shutdowns have been lifted and the terror of that period has subsided. And that’s a great thing because these two are wonderfully talented and a joy to listen to!

With chunky multi-colored lights strung about, Mat and Savanna appear in a large, rustic shed or garage with five incredible musicians to sing this peppy tune about all the things that represent Christmas. The lyrics list about a dozen, but the real message seems to be that Christmas just brings about joy—a childlike excitement and wonder! 

See if these images mentioned in the song’s lyrics resonate with you:

Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet Silent Night
Fill the tree with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights

Mat and Savanna began singing by themselves from their home in Utah. This video has them in another setting with a whole band. It’s fun to watch Savanna in her red herringbone suit bounce around with Dad in his denim. 

At 2:05, look out! The trumpet takes the lead with a jammin’ solo, and then the saxophonist does his at 3:08 before the two share the floor to show off their chops together and end the song. Mat comes back in front of the whole group to offer a Merry Christmas wish and his appreciation to their supporters and the musicians behind him. Savanna says that making the video was a “blast,” and it is certainly a blast to watch!

The song describes the Christmas feeling as follows: “Even though I love ya madly, It seems I love you more.” We love Mat and Savanna more all the time. Thank you for making beautiful, positive music! 

Here’s to simply loving more this Christmas season!

The foretelling of the birth of Jesus from the Old Testament

This might be one of the most beloved and classic Christmas songs that focuses on the angels and their encounter the night Christ was born. It gives us an idea of what a holy sight it was to God’s angels. 

The rendition of the ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’ duet by The Hound & The Fox is one song you will treasure. It is peaceful and magical, with a Christmas folk sound. Their performance included a beautiful snowy landscape with this lovely husband and wife duo expecting another child. 

The couple, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber, hail from Oregon, and they are passionate about music. They write and create their own, plus cover their favorites.

On their YouTube page, they wrote, “We love to create our own versions of songs that inspire us, and we LOVE to write and share our own originals as well. We are passionate about the visuals and the stories that accompany our music, and we hope that you can see that in our videos.” 

The Fox and The Hound put their unique folk sound and creative instrumental abilities into the cover of ‘It Came Upon A Midnight Clear’, and the result is phenomenal. It will be your new favorite rendition of the song that was originally produced by Edmund H. Sears in 1849. Edmund based the hymn on the Bible verse Luke 2:14. 

“It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold:‘Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.’The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.”

It is by far one of my favorite songs that gets my heart and spirit into the Christmas mood by reminding me of what unfolded on that holy, precious night. I hope you enjoyed this beautiful performance as much as I did. 

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men,” Luke 2:14.

Put your hands up and get ready to sing along to ‘The Elf Song,’ and a new music video by Crowder! It’s fun. It’s catchy. It’s playful and upbeat. 

I imagine you’ll find yourself singing along on your way to work or, perhaps like most in this joyful season, gift shopping. This is just one of several festive originals recorded on Crowder's 14-track holiday album, 'Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas.’

The song honors Santa’s working-class tiny people of the North Pole in a cheeky way to fight for the rights of Santa’s itty bitty, pointy-toed helpers. 

With lyrics like, “Every day is a grind. Them elves working six-day weeks, no raise in sight. Santa only pay ‘em cookies when they working that overtime. Gotta make that quota, can’t do it in a 9 to 5.” 

You can’t help but grin and start humming right along!

The new hit song was just released by the Christian band Crowder, and it already is catching the internet by storm with over 93,000 views. The new music video already has hundreds of comments by fans.

One viewer couldn’t help but leave a comment that sums up how you’ll feel watching the music video, “The Elf Song is adorable and fun to listen to. I can’t help but smile from ear to ear. Those precious children having a great time “being kids” was awesome! God bless you, Mr. Crowder.”

This song is likely going to take the world by storm because it is upbeat and catchy, another viewer commented, “Just listened to this song for the first time, and I LOVE it! What a fun and playful song. One I will listen to over and over for many seasons to come. Thank you, Crowder, for all your music.” 

We couldn’t agree more. It is definitely a song that will be played nearly every Christmas season. 

We hope you love this song and add it to your playlist for this blessed, magical Christmas season!
