William Shatner’s first-ever holiday album “Shatner Claus” is out now, featuring a truly eclectic roster of vanguards, icons and misfits that join him on this collection of reinterpreted classics.

Today he’s unveiled the first music video from it: a rocked-out rendition of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” featuring ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons on guitar. In the video, Shatner, clad in a gold cheetah-print suit, turns a wholesome fireside reading into a rock and roll dance party.

Watch the “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” video below.

William Shatner has announced his very first holiday album: “Shatner Claus – The Christmas Album” out on October 26th, 2018, via Cleopatra Records.
