This online hit is just in time for the Christmas season!
San Diego recording artists, Danielle LoPresti and Alicia Champion officially released their first Christmas video Wednesday, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus on YouTube and is quickly becoming an online hit.
The video stars real life couple Champion and LoPresti with their four year old son, Xander and gives a modern family twist on the familiar holiday classic.
The song was originally recorded by Tommie Connor in 1952 and remains a holiday favorite.
LoPresti, who has shared the stage with artists such as Jamie Foxx, David Byrne, Cyndi Lauper, Juliette Lewis, and En Vogue with her band, Danielle LoPresti and The Masses, explained why she and Champion decided on making the video.
“As a multi-racial, same-sex, foster-adoptive family, Alicia and I are always seeking out examples in the media of other families like ours to share with our child. We looked online and per usual, didn’t find a single video of a family that resembled ours… so we thought that since we have access to the resources, we could have some fun helping to fill that void.”
The song is the first single released off of LoPresti’s album Winter’s Light
