Christmas has been good to Pentatonix.

Last year, the vocal group sold more than 1.2 million copies of its holiday release, “That’s Christmas to Me.”

To freshen things up for fans this year, a deluxe version of the album with four new songs arrived for this season and helped the album zip to No. 1 on Billboard’s Holiday Album chart.

To promote the new version of “Christmas,” Pentatonix teamed with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store to release a video for “Joy to the World.” (Check it out below.)

Earlier this month, the quintet appeared at the CMA Awards to present an award and also chatted on the red carpet about why they dig country music. Pentatonix will also perform on the CMA Country Christmas special airing 9 p.m. Dec. 3 on ABC, as well as the American Music Awards at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC.
