As Kellie Pickler and Phil Vassar gear up for their upcoming A Christmas Tour, the country stars are getting fans in the holiday spirit with the brand new video for their original holiday song, “The Naughty List.”

Co-written by Vassar and Juliana Songs, the tune features a throwback big-band production, which happens to provide some of the inspiration for the music video.

In the recently debuted clip, Pickler and Vassar rewind back to the ‘40s as they provide the entertainment for an old-school USO holiday party. Both are clad in their best decade-inspired fashion as swing dancers show off their moves in front of the stage.

“I love this song,” shares Pickler. “The moment Phil sent the lyrics to me it felt like a classic. I am looking forward to A Christmas Tour and performing it with Phil on the road throughout this holiday season.”

Pickler and Vassar kept the video as authentic as possible. It was filmed at the American Legion Post 82 in Nashville, and the extras were provided by the Fort Campbell USO.

“We really had a good time shooting [the video], and Kellie is such a natural in front of the camera. She really knocked it out of the park. Given we both do a lot of work for the USO, it was really neat we were able to include them in the shoot,” Vassar told Yahoo Music.

A Christmas Tour with Phil Vassar and Kellie Pickler kicks off November 24 in Wheeling, West Virginia. The tour will hit 17 cities across the U.S., including Pickler’s home state of North Carolina and Vassar’s home state of Virginia.
