The Backstreet Boys are back and hanging out with Santa Claus this Christmas season.

The video for their new holiday single, “It’s Christmas Time Again,” features the boys like you’ve never seen them before: animated.

The brightly colored cartoon shows the boy band, which includes Kevin Richardson, who quit the band in 2006, spreading holiday cheer all over the world by any means necessary. They get on their skis, jump in a submarine and board a rocket, all in hopes to get you your presents on time.

Best of all, they manage to get themselves a first class seat with the big man himself handing out gifts to all the nice girls and boys.

Do you like the animated versions of the Boys or would you have preferred to see the guys in the flesh?
