Tonight, Fox will air “Taraji’s White Hot Holidays,” a Christmas special hosted by “Empire”’s Taraji P. Henson. The show will feature versions of holiday classics by Missy Elliott, TLC, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Andra Day, Ne-Yo, Taye Diggs, Smokey Robinson, Run-DMC’s Darryl McDaniels, and more. Below, via Billboard, you can watch clips from TLC and Missy Elliot’s performance, which includes a cover of “Sleigh Ride,” and a special Missy verse all about Santa. It includes the lines “‘cause Santa’s tryna mack in his Cadillac,” and “he’s slippin’ and slidin’ in his own sleigh ride.”
Earlier this year, Missy Elliott shared a new song called “Pep Rally.” She also teamed up with A$AP Ferg for “Strive,” and was featured in Marc Jacobs’ fall fashion campaign.
Taraji P. Henson will star alongside Janelle Monáe in the “space race” drama Hidden Figures. The upcoming film includes original music from Pharrell.
