Professional Christmas carolers and holiday singers in NYC

Caroling a la Carte^™

The most flexible & musical Christmas carolers in New York City.

Featured on Good Morning America 2017, 2018, and 2019!

We're Caroling From Home This Year

For the health & safety of our singers and clients, we've made the difficult decision to forego all in-person events during the COVID-19 pandemic. But, you can still bring our world-class music into your home or business events… virtually!

Check out samples of our charming, professionally-edited and animated virtual holiday offerings, singing the songs you've seen & heard on Good Morning America, NBC New York, and all over the city!

We offer virtual single song performances, 3-5 song "mini concerts," and 30-minute performances. All virtual offerings include optional recorded greeting and your branding on the intro/outro!

A la carte add-ons include:

Live host and/or emcee - One of our Choristers drops in live to share the video, and optionally interact with your guests between songs.
Additional graphics - While our virtual videos feature animations and graphics, we can create a custom motion graphics and branded materials throughout the entire video!
Custom 1-line/name drop & custom song lyrics - Make our music yours with a name drop or completely fresh lyrics tailored to your event. Our singers will re-record the song(s) to create a truly custom experience!

We love and thank all of our clients from the bottom of our hearts for their support over the years helping make us NYC's most popular contemporary carolers. We owe all of our success to you, and we look forward to the day when we can see you and yours all again in 2021. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Someday soon, we all will be together, if the Fates allow… hang a shining star upon the highest bough…

Not only were the voices amazing, the song choices perfect for the environment, but the planning and post-concert tasks (payment) were super easy. Dealing with Greg was a pleasure. Very organized & efficient and exceptionally accommodating.

Classic & contemporary versions of your favorites, in a single group.

We love Christmas carols and holiday music so much, we had a hard time choosing between being a “traditional, classic” group versus a “contemporary” ensemble… so we didn't! The New York Holiday Choristers are the only professional caroling ensemble in New York City featuring both classic and true vocal jazz/contemporary styling — and all in-between. Our contemporary arrangements are hip, jazz-influenced, and reminiscent of modern acappella (without beatboxing, of course), while our standard arrangements combine the classical arrangements you know and love with a fresh harmonic twist. By providing both styles, we bring unrivaled flexibility to your event, perfect for when you're looking to add something a little cooler than regular, simple carolers. Why force yourself to choose?

And while some of our contemporary songs wander off into 3/4 jazz-swing and twisting time signatures, and our ballads stack luscious harmonies, and our standard carols treat the originals with respect while simultaneously changing them up, we always have our fingers on the pulse of your event to make sure we fill our role. It's simply, flat-out the best music in the industry, expertly crafted, finely rehearsed, and perfomed with excitement.

A Love For The Season

All of our Choristers & management love the holiday season, and we love creating memories for our clients and their guests even more. That's why the New York Holiday Choristers charm and delight our customers and their event's guests, wherever we raise our voices in song. We create memories.

Experienced & Refined

With over twenty years' private event experience, the team behind the New York Holiday Choristers also has been bringing holiday acappella to New York City since 2009, been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, appearing on Fox 5 WNYW's Friday Night Live, The Rachael Ray Show, WFUV's Cityscape, WQXR's The Arts File, Fox News, and many more. Our company is fully-insured, and we know how to make every performance extraordinary.

The Finest Music

Most of our songs are our own versions of classic Christmas carols & holiday favorites set in rich 4-part harmonies. Our musically-gratifying book is more like what you hear from professional acappella ensembles than simple carols, and our Choristers rehearse for months to master our book. It's a sound that's truly "New York"… No other company comes close!

Classic? Contemporary? Both!

With the Choristers, you don't have to choose between traditional & modern carols -- our single ensemble masters both! And as we say, our music's best-in-class. Don't take our word for it: our music's been featured & played on WFUV, WQXR, and more, and performed by other choirs and ensembles nationwide!

Audio Clips

Our contemporary, vocal jazz "Carol of the Bells" features a cool jazz swing feel.

We keep the traditional feel of "Deck the Halls" but with our own interesting harmonic twists!

Based on Celtic Woman's stunning version, we adapted it into mixed harmony for a beautiful result.

Fantastic harmonic twists in and out of clusters feature in our take on this traditional favorite.

"Jingle Bells" gets a high-energy swing treatment in one of our most fun songs!

Easy-breezy swing plus fun chords and a bass solo make our version of "Let It Snow" fresh and new.

Sung in a high-energy jazz waltz, our take on "My Favorite Things" gets feet tapping!

While not strictly a holiday song, "Pure Imagination" perfectly captures the spirit of the holidays.
