Hershey kicked off the Christmas season in style on Sunday, November 17th. Pentatonix brought holiday magic to the Giant Center with their Hallelujah! It’s a Christmas Tour, delivering a stellar performance that delighted a packed and enthusiastic crowd. From start to finish, the group showcased their signature blend of intricate harmonies, impeccable timing, and boundless energy, proving once again why they are one of the most beloved a cappella groups in the world.

The setlist included a festive mix of Christmas classics, fan-favorite arrangements, and original songs. Highlights included a soaring rendition of “Mary, Did You Know?” and a spirited take on “Carol of the Bells,” both of which earned thunderous applause. The group’s ability to transform traditional holiday songs into fresh, vibrant pieces kept the audience captivated throughout the evening.

One particularly special moment came when Pentatonix performed a song from their upcoming holiday movie, Meet Me Next Christmas. The new tune, both heartfelt and joyful, provided a glimpse into their creative evolution and was met with excitement from the crowd. It was clear the audience appreciated being part of a moment tied to the group’s burgeoning cinematic journey.
