This is a favorite of mine since I was a kid. The intro is a war going on in the background then the real intro to the song comes on. So, you have to have a wee bit of patience to get to the song. I don't really know why I liked it so much.
One of my favourites (maybe more of a Lucia song) is Staffan and Herodes (the Uppsala musical class version), this is the only example I found that are pretty similar to it (but too fast) https://youtu.be/SgmMtH3eXU0.
And more from Pentatonix is Little Drummer Boy https://youtu.be/qJ_MGWio-vc I really love acapela especially when it comes to Christmas songs for some reason.
Don't know if you can call it a holiday song or not but for the last few weeks I canät stop listening to Hallelujah (for me the best versions are John Cale https://youtu.be/DinEKqtCDkg and Jeff Buckley https://youtu.be/y8AWFf7EAc4 but this version by Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes, Kurt Nilsen is not to bad either https://youtu.be/Qt2FWAbXinY).
