Elton John and his family create hilarious #StepIntoChristmas TikTok video

By Andrea Dresdale

Elton John's seasonal classic "Step Into Christmas" has been used on the social media platform TikTok as the soundtrack to a series of festive videos showing fans getting ready for the holidays.

Now, the legendary singer and his family have posted their own take on the #StepIntoChristmas challenge.

The whole challenge apparently kicked off with YouTube star JoJo Siwa showing off her insanely over-the-top decorated house, and John expressing surprise that anyone could possibly out-do her video.

But many others got into the act -- including dogs.

John's own video is captioned, "We were so inspired by all of your amazing #StepIntoChristmas videos, we made our own!"

In the clip, we see John's two young sons, Zachary and Elijah, sneaking into a room with a large wreath on the door. They emerge dressed as a Christmas elf, wearing wacky glasses inspired by their rock star dad.

Next, the "Rocket Man" singer's husband, David Furnish, sneaks into the door and comes out dressed in a costume that makes him look like an elf being held up by Santa Claus.

Finally, John goes in the door and emerges as Santa Claus, ringing a bell. Then all four of them dance their way out of the frame.

"Step Into Christmas" was released in 1973 as a stand-alone Elton John single and originally peaked at No. 24 in the U.K. Last year it managed to reach No. 8 on the same chart.
