Music Video

The music video starts with Hank "Hurricane" Carter playing the Saxophone riff, George Thorogood walks into the frame and nails a Christmas door ornament to a door. They start talking and Thorogood says he wants to have a "Rock and Roll Christmas". They enter a building, which is revealed to be full of people dancing. The band performs the song, and the video ends with the camera zooming out of the building, revealing two more people dancing, while watching the performance outside through a window.[2]
