Kirstin Maldonado & Her Pentatonix Group Mates Release “Deck The Halls” Cover

Kirstin Maldonado is getting all decked out…

The 25-year-old Spanish- and Mexican-American singer and her Pentatonix group mates are ringing in the holiday season with a new take on a Christmas classic.

Kristin Maldonado & Pentatonix

On Monday (Nov. 27), the acapella group shared a brand-new video of them singing “Deck The Halls,” in celebration of their Christmas special A Very Pentatonix Christmas, airing on NBC.

This past May, Avi Kaplan — who had been with Pentatonix since the beginning — announced in an emotional video that he would be parting ways with the group.

Now, Pentatonix has welcomed singer Matt Sallee to join them as vocal bass for their performance-packed holiday season, and in the new video fans get a peek at just how well he fits into the lineup.

For the new holiday visuals, the five vocalists are shown in entirely festive garb, rocking velvets and seasonal red and green shades as they perform in a cozily-decorated home.

Tune into NBC at 10:00 pm EST for A Very Pentatonix Christmas.

Pentatonix is also gearing up for their A Pentatonix Christmas Tour, with fourteen dates in six cities. View the full schedule, and buy tickets here.
