The group premieres its original holiday video
Grammy-nominated band OneRepublic has released the video for their new original Christmas track, “Dear Santa.” The new claymation video was directed, designed, sculpted, built by, composed, animated, and edited by animator Dr. Oz. The video features the band members in Santa’s workshop as they strive to make a Christmas miracle and bring a couple back together. The track was originally released to kick off the holiday season back in October.
OneRepublic has released their limited 12-inch vinyl pressing of the new 2023 holiday single, pressed on red translucent vinyl with a fir tree-scented sleeve.
The group has also partnered with leading greeting card producer American Greetings to offer four customizable digital greeting cards in support of “Dear Santa” and to celebrate the festive holiday season.
