Grimes is seen dancing around in the video with an axe, singing "it's motherf****ing Christmas, I'm the Grinch motherf***er!". The video features various members of her family jumping around and having fun in what looks like the family music room.
Posting to her Tumblr, Grimes was keen to stress that the track was nothing to do with her forthcoming fourth album but was just a way of "avoiding obligatory dinner".
The post says:
"happy holidayz
first off this song contains swearing so it might not be all ages
Anyway - i like to periodically release songs since my album is taking so long and i make a lot of songs that i wouldn’t put on an album but i nonetheless enjoy so thats what this is.
me and my step bro jay worthy make an annual christmas song with our siblings in order to avoid obligatory dinner. this is NOT a single from the upcoming album, not a serious piece of art in any capacity and not an official grimes release
also —made this song in prob less than 2 hours so please excuse my terrible production, + it is not mixed or mastered.

Grimes put the first 'Christmas Song' with Compton rapper Worthy online in 2012.
