The expertly coordinated chaos of this version of the 12 days of Christmas remains impossible to beat for sheer entertainment

The world-renowned Clare College Choir of Cambridge University has embraced the Christmas spirit in style and with a real understanding of the implications of the song.

Their performance of The 12 Days of Christmas is definitely the most physical we’ve ever seen – and the most joyously chaotic.
