Pentatonix are bringing the magic of the holidays straight to the Big Apple with their brand-new album Christmas in the City, out now via Republic Records. The release arrives with a dazzling music video for the title track and marks the group’s eighth holiday collection — proof that nobody wraps a Christmas classic quite like them.
Channeling the wonder and rush of New York at Christmastime, the 16-track album blends re-imagined favorites, heartfelt originals, and rare collaborations. Among its highlights: a dream-come-true duet with Frank Sinatra on “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” seamlessly pairing Pentatonix’s soaring harmonies with Ol’ Blue Eyes himself. Elsewhere, JoJo joins the quintet for “Snowing in Paris,” an instant modern-day holiday staple bursting with warmth and cinematic charm.
Fans will also find spirited new takes on “Silver Bells” and “Holly Jolly Christmas,” plus a show-stopping “Christmas Classics Medley.” And for the first time ever, Pentatonix expand beyond a cappella — adding live instruments to their lush arrangements. It’s a bold, joyful leap that keeps their signature sound intact while giving their holiday tradition a fresh spark.
“We were so inspired by the feeling of New York City during the holidays,” says Scott Hoying. “The process of arranging, recording and making this album felt like the magic of when Pentatonix first started making music together.” Christmas in the City captures that timeless mix of wonder, excitement, and love — the sound of a band that still believes in the magic of the season.
