Let's have some fun together and join our Facebook group This Is It Media by clicking the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/69818... “Christmas in Hollis” is Run-D.M.C.’s iconic hip-hop holiday anthem, released in 1987 as part of the A Very Special Christmas compilation benefiting the Special Olympics. The song blends a festive, feel-good storyline—complete with Santa Claus, lost money, and Christmas dinner in Hollis, Queens—with the group’s signature beats, scratching, and humorous rhymes. Produced by Rick Rubin, it samples classics like Clarence Carter’s “Back Door Santa,” adding horn stabs and funky bass that helped bring hip-hop further into the mainstream. Its music video, featuring the group in a playful holiday setting, quickly became a seasonal staple on MTV. Over time, “Christmas in Hollis” has grown into a beloved Christmas tradition, standing out as one of the first major hip-hop songs to define a new kind of modern holiday spirit.
