Montreal Canadiens Hockey Team Sing Festive 'Let It Go' Rendition - This rendition of Frozen's hit song is bound to warm your heart.

The Montreal Canadiens hockey team has given us the Christmas gift we never knew we needed in the form of a Disney singalong.

The players' enthusiastic rendition of Frozen’s “Let It Go” is taking the internet by storm with more than 525,000 views since the YouTube video was posted just yesterday.

And despite what you may think, getting the team to play along wasn’t a case of their coach telling them they had to participate.

“Our guys are good sports and understand a lot of what we do on the content front is completely absurd and meant to be irreverent,” Jon Trzcienski, executive director of marketing, wrote to ABC News. “Despite some appearing more into it than others, even the most deadpan guys would crack up about it after the fact. You see a bit of that in musical interludes during the video.”

The result is pure Internet gold.

“We figured, ‘Why not have our guys do a recording of a popular song that appeals to a completely different audience than what we normally reach – that still can tie into the holidays - and see how the public at large responds?,’” said Trzcienski.

Safe to say the public is pleased with the icy result.
