Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney rollerbladed down the street donning Santa jackets to film the music video for βSanta Claus Is Comin' To Town,β which premiered on Friday morning (November 1).
The song is one of 21 that appears on Dan + Shayβs Itβs Officially Christmas: The Double Album. The award-winning duo released the massive project after a decade in the making. The double album includes Dan + Shayβs previously-released holiday singles in addition to their renditions of Christmas classics and more.
βTHE ROLLERBLADING SANTAS are rolling through your neighborhood to remind you that the date is November 1st and that means ITβS OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS,β Dan + Shay announced as they shared a snippet of the music video on Instagram. βWeβre celebrating with a brand new double album, and a brand new music video for βSanta Claus Is Cominβ To Townβ, available everywhere now. *PS - No Santas were injured (too badly) during the making of this music video.* π π½π π½β
Smyers wrote in the comments, βwe risked our lives for this content.β Mooney said, βIβve never felt older than I did on those blades. I was DYING. Back of an 80 year old.β
Dan + Shay released Itβs Officially Christmas: The Double Album on October 18. Smeyers and Mooney wrote or co-wrote 11 tracks on the record β including three tracks featuring Smyers as the sole writer β which was produced by Smyers and Scott Hendricks, per the duoβs record label. Dan + Shay had been hinting at a holiday album, which has been widely requested by fans for years. They surprised fans when they revealed their first-ever Christmas project would be a double album.
βItβs Officially Christmas: The Double Album is a 21-song collection of brand new originals and our take on classics that you already know and love,β Dan + Shay said as they announced the album last month. βThis project has been a decade in the making, and we are so proud of every single note. We truly leaned into our love for the holiday season and think we found some magic in these songs. Our hope is that you are able to enjoy + share that same magic with your loved ones for years to come. As always, thank you for continuing to believe in us and allowing us to live our dream. Weβre grateful for you, and weβre grateful for Christmas! πβ
