Music video

In the song's promo video, directed by Spike Jonze, the band members are dressed in Santa Claus suits as they cavort through various locations in and around Irvine, CA. They go on a scavenger hunt, trying to find a chicken, which has a key to a car, which takes them to a hill next to a parking lot. Some of the members slide off, but still stay on the hill.
