Pentatonix's third holiday album,
Christmas Is Here! became the a cappella quintet's third straight to top the Billboard holiday albums chart. Offering a combination of Christmas classics and songs like the winter-themed "Sweater Weather," originally by pop group
the Neighbourhood, and "When You Believe" from The Prince of Egypt, high-profile guests include
Maren Morris and
Kelly Clarkson. The latter is featured on a reverent cover of
Amy Grant's "Grown-Up Christmas List." On the more flamboyant side is "Here Comes Santa Claus" and album highlight "Making Christmas" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, which retains the original's sinister tone.
Christmas Is Here! closes with a tempo-, time signature-, and key-shifting version of "Jingle Bells" that finds the singers accompanied by an orchestra. ~ Marcy Donelson
