The teaser shows Lil Nas X travel back in time to an old Western town, where he sees Santa being kicked out of a saloon for being too drunk. Lil Nas X picks up Santa's hat and becomes the new Santa, Santa Nas X.

Lil Nas X then takes off on his horse, which has transformed into a reindeer. Fox, who starred in the Back to the Future film series, is then shown warning Lil Nas X to avoid 2020.

"Whatever you do, Nas, don't go to 2020," Fox says.

Fox said in a tweet Monday that he was "thrilled" to be part of the project.

"It's always a good time when you travel back to the past. Thrilled to be a part of this! Good luck in the future @LilNasX," he wrote.

Lil Nas X will release "Holiday" on Friday. The song is his first new single in nearly two years, following the release of "Rodeo" with Cardi B in June 2019.
