Although I've known Marillion since early 1984, I discover this only now... It makes me regret not to have taken part in the fanclub... This is wonderful. and the video is fun too ! I hope everybody in the band had a Merry Christmas 2022. All the best.
I could write the same words. Discovered this nice video just today. I know Marillion since the eighties too, i listen to many kind of music but sometimes Marillion come back to fill my heart with their music for days or weeks. Hope to go to their next concert in Padova in 2023. Happy new year

When Marillion, Santa, guitars and the end of the year meet the result is this one!

Speaking as someone who is a total curmudgeon at this time of year, this one has managed to raise a smile. Brilliant :-) Best Christmas song since The Darkness
I only just found this version of "Carol of the Bells" today. I've been a Marillion fan since 1983, when NONE of my friends here in the US had heard of these weird bands, Marillion, and what was that other band called? You too?.... I kind of lost track of them about ten years ago now, so missed the release of this.. But this is GREAT! I really LOVE this! Well, all but the last forty seconds of the video (and accompanying pseudo bluegrass music as the car peels out...). Great version of the song and smashing guitar solo. I may have to download this and amputate everything from 7.06 onward. Up to that point, though, I really do love this version. Anyway, to everyone out there, merry, Merry, MeRrY, MERRY, Christmass!
Brilliant, as always. I'm so looking forward to seeing these guys at the Rambling Man festival in July. Last time was at Nostell Priory in 1982 when they were just starting. It's been too long. Add Pendragon, Ian Anderson, The Pineapple Thief and the ever amazing Camel and I should be in heaven.
Not so many christmas carols in my french culture. I came here because of that particularly lovely song i'm actually learning (singing help me to handle confinment due to the pandemia !), and this version is... wow ! I love the liberty Marillion took with the arrangment. It has to be done, they did it. Thank you for that.
oooooooooooooooohyeah...what a happy Christmas...... Ich verfolge Marillion seit meiner Jugend...Mit FISH natürlich die großen Zeiten aber auch mit H viele schöne Erinnerungen. Einfach eine tolle Band - Leider fehlt es manchmal zum ganz großen Wurf. Ich weis nicht wie es Euch geht - Das Ding hier ist komischerweise einer der geilsten Songd der letzen Jahre...heheh WEITER SO....... love and peace and merry Christmas.. ÖTTE
Ding fries are done, #Marillion have fun, bring us a tune, go to the moon, #Christmas is here, no need to fear, music is great, haters gonna hate. . But anyway, thank you my friends, this made my day, though it just begun, ding fries are done, ding fries are done...
Sensacional...minha banda predileta, meu grande amor musical é simplesmente maravilhosa. Transformou um clássico natalino, com muito humor e com sua identidade!!!❤
Getting close to 50, 000 views in less than a week snd still the radio won't play it. Absolutely perfect for the Christmas season. If it was Robbie Williams radio etc would ve falling over themselves to play it. Just a few prime time plays on radio thats all I ask!!
Love the James Bond references at the end. (Marillion will return in 2014 - CLASSIC!) Oh...just heard God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. OH MY GOODNESS! You Only Live Twice on banjo! My life is complete.
Great cover of Xmas song! Video is hilarious :) the song is a great idea and all for charity! It's great that they don't take themselves too seriously and can take the piss out of themselves! Everyone should download the song! Best band in the world
Ten years later in December 2023, still played every year at the top of my Christmas playlist.
The same here !
And in 2024!
@@Ste-sr1fr Your recent comment brought me back for a full on MarillionChristmaStravaganza right on into 2025.
There are hundreds of versions of this classic Christmas tune, but this by far the best.
completely agree with it!!!
Absolutely beautiful, especially the bond ending!❤
First time hearing this December 2024,...I'm blown away!!!...This is excellent!...Merry Christmas from Southern California!
The guitar solo is absolutely brilliant. Great tune guys.
The best!

Excellent. A classic Christmas song with a Steve Rothery guitar solo. It doesn't get much better than that.
Most Christmas song last 3 minutes, a decent Christmas song has a guitar solo after 4:30 minutes.
I am so glad that Marillion is around .makes my soul happy....................
An awesome progrock version of an old folk song originated from Ukraine. This is "Shchedryk" by M. Leontovych. Well done Marillion!

Love this...especially the mashing with the James Bond theme & Ian's mysterious transformation to a rather forlorn looking Santa!
This musical arragement of progressive rock to this song got me very thrilled. Thank you for this gift. Merry Christmas from Brazil

Brilliant traditional song played in a brilliant version by the brilliant Band MARILLION. Lovin' it!!!
THAT solo - amazingly beautiful playing - kicks the sweep picking so called experts in to dust!!!
Brilliant, as always.
I'm so looking forward to seeing these guys at the Rambling Man festival in July. Last time was at Nostell Priory in 1982 when they were just starting. It's been too long.
Add Pendragon, Ian Anderson, The Pineapple Thief and the ever amazing Camel and I should be in heaven.
This is still my all time favourite Chris song. Love it ❤️
I have played this every year since gods band released it, just brilliant!
As wonderful in 2020 as it was in 2013. Thank you!
You guys continue to surprise & amaze! I can't imagine what life would be like without Marillion.
I watch this "religiously" (lol) every year during the holidays. You guys are the ABSOLUTE best!
This, and Fairytale of New York are my favourite Christmas songs
One of my favorite Christmas songs, done by one of my all-time favs! Brilliant!
Thank you for your humor and your wonderful imagination and your amazing music. Merry Christmas.

I'm litterally aching from too much laughter! XD Love Marillion
Loving the James Bond at the end! Great tune chaps!
Fantastic. .... A brilliant post.
Absolutely brilliant.Should be the christmas number one.
'wow' what to watch again and again.......thanks guys.
FINALLY!!! A proper Christmas song! Love it! Epic ending! (Love the Ian Anderson props) Have a Great Christmas and a Great New Year!
Happy Holidays to Marillion. Hope to see you again in 2014!!!!
Utterly brilliant. Love the James Bond addition... and yes it is a little tongue in cheek!

You've made my day! Breathtaking performance! Thank you, Marillion!
Excellent and talented performance (prog) of one of the best composition ever.
Happy new year I've known u by this beautiful song.
Marillion for ever in my hearth
LOL!
Are you *sure* you meant hearth Nunzia?
(Maybe you did, could be a cultural idiom thing).
Brilliant song!
thanks again another year gone awaiting the new release-you guys are awesome
Another for the list of great SR solos. A little reminiscent of Runaway - no bad thing.
Un gran músico puede hacer culaquier tipo de música con resultados igualmente óptimos... GRANDIOSOS, LO MEJOR QUE HE VISTO EN AÑOS!!!!
4:43 if you want to cut to the chase... the master displays his mastery. Love the playfulness of the whole rendition. Fun.
Thank you for this beautiful gift for my ears, for my eyes and my soul !
Beautiful clip and song xx
I loved this when the DVD arrived and I happily purchased and downloaded an MP3 of it!! My Christmas is complete!!!
MP3? holy.....Marillion must be FLAC.
The prog guys are really keeping the Christmas music tradition going.
Fantastic
Love that the bass progression is exactly the Bond theme! Nothing says Christmas more than a Bond movie!!!!!!!!!!
Marillion are the best...Merry Christmas Marillion! :)
oooooooooooooooohyeah...what a happy Christmas...... Ich verfolge Marillion seit meiner Jugend...Mit FISH natürlich die großen Zeiten aber auch mit H viele schöne Erinnerungen.

Ivano Forgione That's the first place I went - "Ding fries are done" !
* Peter laughter *
I've been into Marillion since Script for a Jester's Tear, but only just discovered that they do covers! Loving it!
Dad keeps playing this. He loves Marillion. My sister keeps getting creeped out by the video though
Noooooo shit O_O
Sensacional...minha banda predileta, meu grande amor musical é simplesmente maravilhosa. Transformou um clássico natalino, com muito humor e com sua identidade!!!❤

Fantastic job guys.
Оригинально Marillion обыграли "Щедрык" , слова оригинала песни написал украинский композитор Мыкола Леонтович.
Absolute Brilliant...LOVE it !!!
Excellent work guys...
..
Incrível.... Define-se Marillion somente como incrível...
Brilliant, Merry Christmas.
Excellent! I dig the coat, Mr. H.
Brilliant!
Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia ..... Wszystkim i Tobie :)
Hopefully a new one for 2016

Oh...just heard God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
OH MY GOODNESS! You Only Live Twice on banjo! My life is complete.
This is exactly why i luv u guys!
Dark overtones to the chorus - made me put on an omen movie. Addictive guitars - made me want to listen over and over.
The official version for me
Happy XMas to everyone. I love you guys. You have been haunting my sweetest dreams for 14 years! You are so gifted, funny, humble... See you !!
Marillion at it`s best! Amazing Track !
Just discovered this, very nice.
Happy Christmas to those at the Manchester gig last night (where h decided it should be Christmas day today!).
Great cover of Xmas song! Video is hilarious :) the song is a great idea and all for charity! It's great that they don't take themselves too seriously and can take the piss out of themselves! Everyone should download the song! Best band in the world
And a happy new year to you too, Mr./Mrs. rodilopes. I see you are still in a Christmassy mood? It was just a joke, you know...
Nice, because it's a interpretation of a classic with the Marillion sound.
Extraordinário!
Fabulous! Happy Christmas
Superbe, génial, comme toujours... Marvelous, as usual... Bravo !
