Both Criss and Hough wear red and white Santa hats in the fun new clip, and Criss even wears an ugly Christmas sweater. Criss mouths along to his song “Christmas Dance,” off his album A Very Darren Crissmas, while Hough dances.
“Do the twist, twist, twist, twist / Twist it like you made it on the naughty list,” Criss sings on the track. “And then you shake, shake, shake, shake / Shake it while you’re waiting for your cookies to bake.”
Eventually, Criss joins Hough for the dance, as they both show off their best twist and a little shimmy to represent the shake. As Criss captioned the clip, “Weird I didn’t even know there was a camera rolling. This is just what @derekhough and I do when no one’s looking.”
