In recent years, Pentatonix has reigned as one of the holiday season’s most successful music acts.<\/p>\n

The group will only strengthen that status this year. In addition to recently releasing its “A Pentatonix Christmas” album, the superstar a capella group is headlining a holiday special on NBC.<\/p>\n

Entitled “A Pentatonix Christmas Special,” the hour-long event airs at 8PM ET\/PT on December 14. It will feature numerous performances by Pentatonix, as well as appearances by stars like Kelly Clarkson and Reba.<\/p>\n

Pentatonix recently taped its performances for the special. To hype the upcoming broadcast, NBC shared some photos from the taping:<\/p>\n
