Lil Nas X Is the Sci-Fi Santa of Our Dreams in His Music Video For "Holiday"

Lil Nas X took us back to the future with the music video for his latest single, "Holiday." It's been nearly two years since his last single, and to those wondering whether he could continue to live up to the hype, he called them out in the lyrics, saying, "They wanna know if I'll be lastin'. B*tch, even if I started floppin', there'd be fashion." And he was certainly right about the fashion — the video features Lil Nas X as a sci-fi Santa who completely decked the North Pole out in chrome.

The vibes in the video are immaculate as Lil Nas X goes from Santa to an elf with all the moves to toys trying to make their daring escape. While not a traditional holiday song in any sense of the word, it's just the kind of cheekiness we've come to expect from Lil Nas X and can't wait to add it to our holiday party playlists. You can dive deep into the world of Lil Nas X's "Holiday" by watching the full video above.
