Favorite "Jingle Bells" arrangement?

Seeking a fun take on "Jingle Bells" in the upper grade 1 lower grade 2 range. All of our bands will be playing a version of Jingle Bells on our winter concert so looking for something that will add interest.

Average woodwinds
Strong Trumpet and Horn
Small Low Brass
6 fairly capable percussion

I love the Higgins arrangement, but that might be too easy.

"Jingle Bells Upside Down". The composer escapes me but my kids have always enjoyed that one.

Check out Jingle Band by Mike Story. It's a Grade 2, but it comes together in a fun way and kids and audiences like it.
