This is such an amazing version of this song. I really love their interpretation and the jazzy, cool sound. It does Peanuts and the gang justice. Well done guys!

Exceedingly well done gentlemen! Hands down one of the best versions of this song. The arrangements and vocals are absolutely amazing. I play it year after year and I still get chills.

My very good friend died December 10, 2020-he loved Christmas. This was our song. We’d be at work and when it came on the radio we’d stop, look at each other and say “here’s our song”!!!!! We would simply be still and listen❤️
It’s now a bittersweet song for me.
I miss you Drew!!!!!!!!🎄❤️
