Move over Holidate, the most anticipated Christmas content of all has arrived. Lil Nas X is Santa in his new single ‘Holiday’ and video, ‘The Origins of “Holiday”‘.
When drunken Santa gets kicked out of an old Western bar for being too inebriated, Lil Nas X steps up to the job. He even inherits the Santa suit which reads, “You are the new Santa.”
His horse grows reindeer antlers and multiplies by 12, and a sleigh appears.
‘Holiday’ is his first real single in two years and he’s been teasing it for a few days with these bizarre posts, in typical Lil Nas X form.
The video was co-directed by Lil Nas himself and Gibson Hazard. Catch Lil Nas X’s full stint as Santa down below.
The ‘Old Town Road’ artist took home a few awards from Billboard Music Awards. He picked up awards for Rap Song, Hot 100 Song, and Top Streaming Song all for his acclaimed 2019 drop.
