I love his mannerisms, like how he seems to have a twitch that occasionally makes his head shoot up, or his body raise. its hilarious and completely individual, as well as adorable
He's so awesome he can turn off his phone while still continuing to play and sing flawlessly. He's full of SEXY WIN. Who else wishes they could sit beside him while he's playing?!
How is he real? Seriously, I love his voice and how expressive he is with his face and how he plays piano. And I do love a man who can play a piano, especially so effortlessly :D Just an all around beautiful video.
OMG this dude is just OMFG!!!!!!!!!! Ilove how he turns his phone off and still keeps tempo AND sings PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to meet him soooooo bad :p
His piano skills are just...amazing. Can we just take a minute away from his astonishing good looks and focus on just how talented he is? Ain't a lot of people who can play piano this well. Even less who can play seven instruments at this level. Only one who can play them all, look that amazing, have that a great personality, and still be astonishingly humble and modest about it. His name is Darren Criss.
Ah, Darren Criss. I think it's impossible to not love you. As an actor, as a performer, as a musician, as a person, I could go on. I mean, just look. There are 507 likes on this and not ONE dislike. Need I say more?
I FINALLY have a reason to watch this over and over and over and over and over again without my parents questioning why I'm listening to it before Christmas was even near.
This song, combined with his face his voice, his HAIR, and his sweatshirt, and his overall dapperness, just makes me want to throw my arms around him and give him a bear hug :)
my friends were looking at me like i was crazy, because it's the middle of May, and I'm looking up a Christmas song. but then I told them it was Darren Criss, and they totally understood. i was totally speechless during this entire performance. he's too much....
This is my favourite Darren performance. It's so real... just him and the piano. He adds his own elements to the music, therefore you can hear his emotions in a way if you get what I mean... it's just wow!
Not a fan at all of Christmas music, but dear god, if he's singing it, I'll listen to it year round. His voice is the best sound I've ever heard in my life.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish he lived in England... And was 13... And single... Because, in the words of AVPMPotter, he is SUPERMEGAFOXYAWESOMEHOT!!!! If he got anymore awesome, the world would v. probably explode of awesome overload. Thank you, Darren Criss's parents, for bringing this wonderful, wonderful person into being.
Every time I watch him, it just makes me wish EVEN MORE than I already did that I could play guitar and piano. Because I love playing music and singing just for sheer happiness and such, but the only instruments I can play are French horn and trumpet, and they don't really allow for singing! But it's on my bucket list. I can already read music so that makes it easier! Thank you, Darren, for inspiring me with your supermegafoxyawesometalent!
i favorites this so that when december rolls around i'll be able to play it really loudly throughout my apartment. darren criss + christmas music = heaven. :)
In all seriousness his amazing voice almost makes me cry every time... :') Darren please come back!!! The starkids miss you! I love that you made it big but I miss you!!!
@LittleMissPringle I feel the exact same way. He'smy hero and the reason why I'm learning piano and guitar and hopefully more instruments. I'm not alone anymore, everyone thinks I'm crazy but he's honestly changed my life xxx
Darren, You have such an amazing ability to change your voice, and still sound genuine and well amazing, stylistically and range-wise. So glad you have finally been discovered! Best of Luck man!
everytime i see Darren perform i ask myself why is he so talented.
The question remains unanswered to this very day.
I wish I could play piano that good. Or sing that good. Or look that good.
same here 💔
Lindsey Blake you are
"I'm Darren Criss and I create music, and I wish I created this song, but I did not."
XD I adore this man.

Anybody else see his hoodie? It says Dalton!
I come back every Christmas without fail to listen to this

"Hi my name is Darren Criss and i create music" I love him so much
I love how all he says in the beginning is "Hi, I'm Darren Criss and I create music." That's it. Love his humility =]
Every Christmas I play this song ands it's just beautiful
is anyone else crying?! at the sheer beauty!?
Of course his voice is incredible but shoutout to his piano playing - amazing 😍
This is simply BEAUTIFUL!
His sweater looks so cozy! Already listening to this in October xD

His name is Darren Criss.
1:30 phone goes off 😂 I love how something always goes wrong for him and he just goes with it ❤️
This makes my heart happy
hes perfect
Coincidence or not he ends up singing a part of the song in season 4
It doesn't even matter that it's nowhere near Christmastime, I love listening to him sing and play this.
Thanks Darren for making Christmas extra special for us. You sounded incredible like always. So beautiful. Merry Christmas to you too.

And two years later he sings this just as flawlessly on Glee.
Am I the only one who was so memorized by his voice, that it took me awhile to recover?
i don't understand the reason why I should continue my life if I can't be his wife
Remember when he was just an 11 year old boy? He is so a 12 year old superhero now. I love him so much!
I can't understand how someone can be so flawless.
This song, combined with his face his voice, his HAIR, and his sweatshirt, and his overall dapperness, just makes me want to throw my arms around him and give him a bear hug :)
Darren may not have made it.. but he made it better.. how could anyone not adore this man!!??
my friends were looking at me like i was crazy, because it's the middle of May, and I'm looking up a Christmas song. but then I told them it was Darren Criss, and they totally understood.

Thank you, Darren Criss's parents, for bringing this wonderful, wonderful person into being.
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs and I love his voice so I am bursting right now!!
Darren, that was TOTALLY AWESOME :D
3 people REALLY don't know what music is! We love you Darren! Kepp up the good work!
Every time I watch him, it just makes me wish EVEN MORE than I already did that I could play guitar and piano.

did anyone else just die at that adorable smile/ chuckle he did at the beginning?
I love this video for multiple reasons but one of them is how young and happy Darren looks.
Wow. He is amazing! Part of the time he is literally playing the piano with his eyes closed!
Oh Darren, only you can make me like Christmas songs in the middle of spring.
Darren Criss and Christmas = lethal combination for fangirls. MERRY CRISSMAS EVERYONE!
I can't even begin to describe how amazing he is.
'Hey, I'm Darren Criss and I create music.'
Oh, dear, I think I just fell in love all over again! :)
I love how hes using his iPhone for the lyrics. Oh Darren, i love you
I've seriously never crushed on a famous person like how I am on Darren Criss! And watching this doesn't help!
This is the best thing to ever grace the face of the earth.
I randomly started the video somewhere in the middle, and watching him smile while he played, made me burst into tears of joy :')
The fact that he can play the piano makes me love him even more!!!!
Its not even close to Christmas and yet i find myself listening to this daily. Darren is the best
Thanks for the enjoyable piano & your slant on the song. Made my Christmas 2017 ;)
I come back and listen to this version of this song every year
Darren is charismatic, handsome, he sings well and if he dedicates a Happy Christmas that is sure to be a Merry Christmas
