[@Amarra16]

13 years now. It is so true.

[@Dinoboots]

[@michellepomerantz5629]

The last two years on Christmas Eve we’ve got Chinese food

[@mephostopheles3752]

Holy shit, a crowd that can keep tempo? It's a Christmas miracle!

[@mistertea603]

...you... you're funny everywhere!!!

[@Andurian]

I have no data to back it up, but I'm willing to wager that the groups of people that attend acapella shows and those that have music in their backgrounds (even if just in school) have significant overlap.

[@quinnarchibald7064]

do not swear

[@gardenlady73]

As a Sweet Adeline I can appreciate a tempo worthy audience!!!!

[@lugiebugiee]

​@@quinnarchibald7064bro be quiet

[@jaycee3177]

"I'm gonna go buy some Chinese food." -favorite part of this whole song!

[@lisaperry4095]

[@calistahazelip4915]

I live near Santa Clause, Indiana and it's ALWAYS Christmas down here!

[@orangexlightning]

[@Jessica-tf4ez]

[@Jessica-tf4ez]

Yep

[@saundraladen6751]

did anyone see that they paused the kick-line in mid kick when he said 'Im gonna go buy some Chinese food' ??????>

[@SSage2277]

CharlesIsPi I liked this comment but didn’t because I didn’t want to ruin the 100 likes Edit: now I liked it

[@aly3753]

"Starting sooner every year" is SOOO true! There were people down my street who had Christmas lights up at the end of SEPTEMBER.

[@Jessica-tf4ez]

middle.9 that’s because it’s warmer in September than December who wants to freeze themselves while putting them up.... not me

[@evamh]

That's the Christmas spirit we like to see

[@ruthe.2292]

My rule is strictly no thoughts of Christmas until after thanksgiving.

[@Antlove4eva]

On my street it was beginning of September

[@Fyreflier]

mate we had selection boxes, advent calendars, and chocolate tree decorations in the shop from mid-August and I felt my soul die a little

[@jakalair]

I run a music department in a store and this is the ONLY Holiday CD we are playing so far, all because of this song. I was checking the music that came in and this one had me in tears I was laughing so hard.

[@wynettlapour7961]

The Men's Choir at my high school is attempting to do this piece with the original choreography...they performed it for the women's choir last week and not a single one of us could stop smiling. They just have so much energy!! It's gonna be great

[@sparkyphoenix7919]

My mom and I both absolutely ADORE Straight No Chaser! It's amazing how they can keep perfect pitch and tempo with each other, WITHOUT any music or instruments to help them! If I could, I would treat my mom and I to a Straight No Chaser Christmas concert for the ultimate Christmas present to her. And then I would also see about getting to meet them in person with my mom, so we can tell them just how totally AWESOME! their music is! And also to NEVER STOP THE SINGING! To keep on doing it!

[@kayharris9990]

Ever heard of Pentatonix? I think you guys would like them to

[@juliepiggott7304]

Amanda Carey I really hope that you do get to go to a concert very soon!:-) It will be an amazing experience because they all are so talented and some off the nicest and down to earth guys as well! I really hope you and your mum get tickets :-)

[@sparkyphoenix7919]

Thanks!

[@TheMusicPinkLover91]

"I'm gonna buy some chinese food!" hahahahahaha xD

[@clairebear1101]

"We're not gonna do the kick line" lol

[@amandaknauss6031]

Funny

[@scottbrown3225]

"It's not fair if your Jewish, Jewish"

[@Qwertyoneify]

I am now allowed to play this song without family members throwing things at me.

[@LJ-hk4tv]

Nathan Boody Why?

[@sageh92]

Nathan Boody me too bro

[@nicolemalinoski99]

Haha, that is me every single year.

[@Jessica-tf4ez]

That’s so mean

[@eleanormcarthur9072]

Something is wrong with your family's opinion then 😂

[@brenna_boop6341]

It’s astounding, the amount of times I have come back to watch this video over the past 8 years, and 90% of the times I have watched it have been absolutely NOWHERE near Christmastime.

[@ahau9799]

My family tends to pull it out on road trips. So usually March and Thanksgiving. 😂

[@nothayley]

July checking in

[@stacyk123]

This song is the only reason I stay sane working retail this time of year.

[@Antlove4eva]

Plus during covid that must be tuff man

[@avian94]

This has got to be one of the best christmas songs ever created. Seriously, why is this not more publicized?

[@shuuuofthewind]

I first heard this on the radio this past Christmas, and my brother came in, and we just sat there staring at my stereo for the entirety of the song. And then we busted up because it was just so perfect. BEST. CHRISTMAS. SONG. EVER.

[@sydneyovertoom6349]

Last year, my choir teacher showed this to us in December, and now it's my favorite Christmas song.

[@James-ep8bh]

Is it still your favorite?

[@harambe2130]

I actually performed this for a choir show.

[@alexknospe5727]

That's so cool!

[@groovybeet]

[@NightlyRayne]

I will literally watch this ANY time of the years. It's September and I'm still laughing my ass off at it XD

[@SethSutherland]

Haha good stuff!! Their rhythm is incredible during the can can part; they kept it together nicely.

[@AutumnZapara]

Haha Ashlen showed me this while on break! Such a great song. Have you seen the animated version?

[@SethSutherland]

Hahaha!!! I hadn't seen it until now - just watched it. That's hilarious.

[@icedoc09]

haha, I love the Kwanzaa and Channukah inclusions lol

[@krei-ations]

Found this song last night when going to one of those synced Christmas light shows

[@emilyg.666]

Heard this song 20 times and it's only Halloween....... that's how I feel about this medley.....

[@purplehairedsunflower7143]

13 years and this song still slaps 😩

[@1happyemma]

This NEVER gets old! ^.^

[@tiggerytiggs7142]

Okay so I'm at work and this came up on my amazon station and I am literally laughing out loud over here. I'm glad no one sits near me or they'd be wondering what was wrong with me. BEST SONG!!!

[@mychaelahuckaby4995]

[@whadufxupwityou]

not only are they possibly the greatest acapella groups I've ever heard, but they are all extremely good looking ;) Who could ask for more?

[@calistahazelip4915]

I work at a theme park and the sections are season and I'm ALWAYS in the Christmas section and this is my favorite song to hear there!!!!

[@saleris]

Do you work at Holiday World? Or is there another theme park out there like it? That would be awesome!

[@zlinedavid]

Got to be southern Indiana if there's a Holiday World reference. SnC's roots right there.

[@calistahazelip4915]

+Samantha Harris yes, I work at Holiday World.

[@calistahazelip4915]

[@kaitlinkramer8740]

[@scottbrown3225]

It's September and there is a Christmas section in Wal-Mart 😂

[@asmith8692]

I was in a store today, August 18th, and they had Halloween candy out. The lady behind me said that the craft store next door already had Christmas stuff out. I said "it's just like the Christmas Can-can." And she laughed.

[@Elemental-Phoenix]

Sang this with Sound of the Rockies. Twas amazing.

[@aaronairn]

first thing I notice... SWEATY!

[@whiteyg6375]

aaronairn IKR that's what I saw to

[@aaronjimenez7825]

I love the absolute chaos that they devolve into.

[@rebeccaa.9886]

Hilarious! Amazing voices, ya'll!

[@lyricrogersofficial]

When my high school chorus teacher played this in 4th period chorus class, I danced to this with some of my friends. Ahhhh, the memories. I kinda miss high school.

[@patriciabuttner7511]

I heard this yesterday on my trip from Chester, Virginia to Grayson, Ga! It brightened up my day!!!!

[@Jessica-cw6cc]

there was an advertisement for 'christmas in July, sales like the holidays!'. Alone, I can handle it, but then another radio ad for the shopping channel came out for the fake tree.... ITS STILL SUMMER CANT YOU AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL HALLOWEEN!??!?

[@PTPD7]

Can it be christmas so I can play this in my car without feeling awkward...

[@Lamaredia]

You could play it right now, as they actually say that it is October :D

[@BirbicusButticus]

Xmas starts earlier every year! PLAY IT NAOU! :D

[@clairebear1101]

I play it throughout the year when it's not Christmas. Like right now it's February almost valentines and I just played this song

[@orangexlightning]

I'm listening to this NOW in April XD

[@Lovr4nowVegan4evr]

My cousins do a Christmas parody every year, and we did this song last year for our family on Christmas Eve. My uncle-by-marriage is Jewish, so it was awesome.

[@cadaver1179]

[@datboyjesus9004]

This is so catchy..

[@kohlraedirectioner]

Being already tired of what everyone's playing on the radio these days, I am delighted by Straight No Chaser's variations on the theme 😂😂

[@dragonlord779]

It's right Christmas season starts earlier every year. I was in Walmart on Halloween and they had tree and decorations out

[@suzawilo]

Merry Christmas to you all 🎄🤶🏼🎅🎉🎁🎶⛄❄️🥂

[@Jade_The_Peryton]

I swear if they played your music on the radio I think I would be way more interested because I'm so sick and tired of hearing the same traditional stuff

[@montanahardt2221]

Yesss

[@twitchisastar]

they play this on my radio stations...

[@Jade_The_Peryton]

twitchisastar Lucky you >A>.

[@mewmew34]

Same. I used to love Christmas music, now I tend to hate it. Heard this song for the first time last night, though. Definitely a nice change up.

[@Nareimooncatt]

Pandora, 'nuff said.

[@rrin_1]

The heart is the most wicked thing but the best thing you can give God is your heart because he loves you soo much and he is the only one who can heal some of the hurt and sorrow! God is always with you and he’s got you. Your made in his image

[@kaitlinkramer8740]

Still SO IN LOVE WITH THIS!!

[@jessicabilger2746]

I teach after school and a child who wasnt even concieved when this video was uploaded 14 years ago showed me this song last week. I can't stop playing it! How have I not heard this before?!

[@HarlotBug3]

Hillarious, but also VERY well done.

[@TiryaC]

I *LOVE* this song! I started singing this in October this year, when there were plastic Christmas trees in Home Depot...

[@jerryl1354]

Love this song

[@GerritTime]

[@rileyb.9150]

My drama class is performing this song this week

[@fmagloire1]

Brilliant how they vocally mixed all those Christmas carols!

[@piratetoast53]

I have to sing a Christmas carol for an upcoming audition... think this would be appropriate? 😂

[@robertholmberg6485]

You are talented and funny! The genius of Victor Borge!

[@southernqueen57]

LOL watching Mike throughout the song

[@protoborg]

They fit this song to the music so well. Listen to the original music and you can almost hear these words.

[@yali5710]

ikr

[@IslesGirl14]

Mike dancing by himself in the back is probably my favorite part of this video. Oh, and "FALALALALALALA".

[@beckybrooks9974]

My favorite is definitely the 12 days of Christmas. The radio stations don't play it enough. Too bad. I like it a lot. Being I'm studying to become a sign language interpreter - I've been doing it 6 yrs, it makes me wonder if I could sign it. That could be interesting.

[@orangexlightning]

I've heard it on the radio.

[@drwgisblaidd2650]

Merry Christmas!!!! and thanks Walter, and all you guys!!

[@emilyheiland649]

Love this, lol "I'm going to buy Chinese food"

[@StellaSirenSongs]

Brilliant 💕

[@arneschwitz5401]

Happy Halloween!!

[@stevencooke6451]

Playing this today since it is snowing like mad outside. I live in Toronto where we get a few days of spring, it turns cold and snows, then a few days of spring, and then summer hits.

[@mystiquesword]

he should have menorah in his hand to & beat them over the head at every FA LALALA LMAO OMG I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG!!!!!!

[@JubileeBloom]

Beating them over the head with a menorah at the fa-la-las would have been AWESOME!

[@gitoalcantara9359]

They get smacked with a menorah

[@darcybrummett7004]

I heard this on the radio not too long ago. It was a request hour a someone requested Straight No Chaser. Yessss!

[@Patrickbaby420]

FA LA LA LA LA

[@TheBrendafarrell]

This very clever piece communicates the frantic nature of this time of year in commercialized society. Talented.

[@laurenfajardo1128]

Shopping shOppiNg sHOppING SHOPPING

[@redmage19971]

Can't stop watching this either, it's wonderful to watch those guys.

[@madisonhenderson1462]

I'm I the only one that listens to this in September

[@samanthapalumbo8926]

Madison Henderson no. I listen to Christmas stuff year round. Generally about mid July, I get in need of a heavy dose of Christmas cheer.

[@opzero1239]

I listened in early June

[@maddieB2023]

Its June

[@ellefrog4112]

Why do I have so many childhood memories from this

[@JubileeBloom]

Appreciation for religious diversity has never been funnier.

[@TheBobbyman99]

i love how the black guy just jumps out and yells "HO!" lol :D

[@pilotfish3338]

Torturing the poor Jewish dude XD I feel for him

[@miccahhoffman2751]

Sky Pilot I’m Jewish

[@myopiniondoesntmatterh9073]

The “poor Jewish dude” wrote the lyrics and did the arrangement (so he’s to blame for this getting stuck in my head every year). The antics, of course, the rest of the group contributed themselves.

[@alyrar8002]

FALALALALA

[@Heatherlashae02]

It's September 6th and I am listening to this song with absolutely no shame.
