Jelly Roll Stars As A Grumpy Reindeer In Bunnie Xo’s Annual Christmas Music Video
Keeping the holiday tradition alive.
The past few years, Bunnie Xo fans have anxiously awaited her annual Christmas video, like her naughty spin on Mariah Carey’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is To Be Screwed” or her offering from 2023 with the “12 Days of Rizzmas.”
And this year, she decided to stick to one of the holiday classics – with, of course, some help from her husband Jelly Roll.
Bunnie released her Christmas video yesterday, a “slightly mischievous” twist on “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,” featuring comedian and TikTok star Matt Mathews.
The video is full of hilarious moments from a dysfunctional family Christmas, including grandma popping Percocet at the dinner table and the kids flipping each other off as they’re passing the pie. But the best part of the entire video comes during the “attack,” when Jelly Roll makes his appearance as a grumpy Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer driving the sleigh that takes grandma out.
The video then moves to the funeral, which includes grandpa making out with his cousin and the grandkids trying to steal money out of grandma’s purse in her casket – before cutting to Rudolph sitting in the back, who’s clearly amused at the whole scene.
While dropping the video, Bunnie also shared some behind-the-scenes footage of Jelly Roll filming his reindeer scenes in front of a green screen, laughing at the fact that her Grammy-nominated husband was wearing a red nose and antlers for a music video.

Honestly, it’s just proof that no matter how famous you are, some things never change. When your wife asks you to dress up like a reindeer for a music video, you do it because you love her – even if you look like, as Bunnie pointed out, the grumpiest Rudolph of all time.
While Jelly Roll may have been a grumpy reindeer, he and his wife both spent Thanksgiving playing Santa to their community and bringing some holiday spirit to those in need.
Ahead of Thanksgiving, Jelly Roll returned to a place from his past, speaking to inmates at a correctional facility where he once did time. In addition to speaking with the current inmates, Jelly Roll also provided a meal to over 300 inmates and staff.
Nashville Sheriff Daron Hall praised his generosity in a Facebook post:
“Moments like this show the impact one person can make when they choose to lift others up. Thank you Jelly Roll for turning your past into purpose.”
And while Jelly Roll was doing good, giving back to the community over the holidays, his lovely bride, Bunnie Xo, was doing the same.
Bunnie teamed up with The Mary Parish Center, a Nashville organization that helps women who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, to give them a Thanksgiving meal.
Teaming up with the Mary Parish Center was a very intentional choice for Bunnie Xo, who is a survivor of domestic assault.
“Going through a relationship personally around 2013 to 2016, with my own domestic violence relationship, has just made this mission for myself even more of wanting to give back to the women and children that are going through this because I know how hard it is to get out.”
Bunnie shared that she hopes women can see her as a trusted point of contact, knowing she’s gone through a similar situation to theirs, and hopes to serve as a reminder that it does get better once you leave.
“I shared that photo in the hopes that women can be like, ‘Okay, she’s been where I’m at, and she gets it.’ I want somebody to that I can relate to and I want these women to know I have been exactly where they are. And I just want to lift them up and make them feel so good and loved and know that they are doing the right thing.”
Bunnie Xo and her team provided Thanksgiving dinner fixings to the women of the Mary Parish Center and assembled care packages for women in transitional housing.

She also went the extra mile and surprised the executive director, Mary Catherine, with a $25,000 donation to the center.
That’s enough to warm even the grumpiest reindeer’s heart.The post Jelly Roll Stars As A Grumpy Reindeer In Bunnie Xo’s Annual Christmas Music Video first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
