Music video

The video for the track was directed by Lionel C. Martin. The video's premise is that Santa has become sick on Christmas Eve. Gary Coleman, as an elf, summons 'N Sync to take over. The boys deliver toys, presents, and good cheer throughout. The video debuted on TRL December 14, 1998. A reference to Coleman's classic sitcom Diff'rent Strokes is made when after Coleman tells 'N Sync to deliver the presents, they say "Whatchu talkin' about, Gary?", a play on the classic line "Whatchu talkin' about, Willis?".
