As the holidays get closer, Sydnie Christmas’ soaring cover of “O Holy Night” is lighting up YouTube all over again and fans are calling it the Christmas duet we’ve all been waiting for, especially alongside Celine Dion’s iconic version.

The Britain’s Got Talent 2024 winner has struck a deep emotional chord this season. In the comments, listeners from around the world are praising not just her powerhouse vocals, but her humility, warmth, and the emotional honesty she brings to the Christmas classic.

One fan wrote, “Sydnie Christmas, you sing like an angel here on earth.” Another added, “There are very few singers who can bring out strong emotions like this. You have a God-given gift.”

Others praised her sincerity: “Don’t ever change your personality… don’t let fame go to your head,” one viewer urged.

From France, another fan said Sydnie brings “joy, oxygen, and peace,” calling her voice a “magnificent gift.”

Some messages were deeply personal. A mother shared that she listens to Sydnie’s version in memory of her daughter who passed away, saying the song brings comfort and beauty to her grief. Another fan recalled hearing “O Holy Night” during their first weeks of sobriety, saying Sydnie’s rendition brought back the hope they felt during that life-changing moment.

And for some, Sydnie’s version has even replaced the greats: “Josh Groban’s version used to be my favorite, but this has just replaced it!”

With listeners describing her as “a blessing,” “a light,” and someone who “makes me feel like I was there when Christ was born,” Sydnie’s performance has become more than a cover — it’s a source of comfort, nostalgia, faith, and joy during a challenging year.

A Song With a Powerful History

“O Holy Night” was first written in French in 1843, later translated into English by John Sullivan Dwight. The hymn tells the story of the birth of Jesus and has been recorded by Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Martina McBride, Josh Groban, and many more. But this season, Sydnie Christmas has earned her place among these beloved renditions.

As Christmas approaches, her viral performance continues capturing hearts, reminding fans why her voice, as one commenter said, “is the joyful beauty this whole world needs right now.”

“O Holy Night” Lyrics

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
