Video — Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Pentatonix)

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
(Pentatonix)

This Christmas tune is from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet. The story takes place on Christmas Eve. This performance is amazing. I wonder how many hours they must have practiced for this song.

Enjoy it again.
