[edit] Video
A video was filmed for "8 Days of Christmas" and was released in the winter of 2001. It was directed by female music video director, Sanaa Hamri. All 3 members appear in Santa-like clothing at a toy store on a snowy day. Throughout the video the group shops for various gifts and in between cuts, Beyoncé rides on a carousel. At the end of the video, many children begin rushing into the toy store where the group gives out gifts.
