The story behind the song

Pentatonix is an American a cappella group known for their pop-style arrangements, featuring vocal harmonies, scat singing, riffing, vocal percussion, and beatboxing. They often create cover versions of modern pop works or Christmas songs, sometimes as medleys, alongside their original material. This rendition of "The First Noel" showcases their distinctive approach to holiday music, as it appears on their album White Christmas. It plays like a celebration of the Christmas spirit through intricate vocal artistry.
