Music Videos
On November 17, 2011, an official music video was published for "Winter Wonderland" on the Stone Temple Pilots YouTube channel.[7] The video description states:
The official music video for Scott Weiland's "Winter Wonderland," his rock interpretation of the classic holiday song originally written by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith in 1934. This version appeared on Weiland's 2011 holiday album "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Weiland recorded the album with his band at Lavish Studios in California, putting his distinctive rock twist on traditional Christmas classics. The album featured both traditional holiday standards and original compositions. Weiland's "Winter Wonderland" showcases his versatility as a vocalist, moving from hard rock into seasonal music while maintaining his unique style. The holiday album was one of Weiland's solo projects during his career beyond Stone Temple Pilots.
An official lyric video was published on the RHINO YouTube channel for the "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" deluxe album song in September 2022.[8]
