Music videos

The video for "Puppy Love" features Goldspink looking through a Rachel Stevens calendar and making a snow stature shaped like her whilst the others are playing in the snow. Later the band are indoors decorating the house with decorations before finding their presents were Goldspink finds a present for him from Stevens: a puppy. At the end of the video words come up saying, "Remember a dog is for life, Not just for Christmas."

The video for "Sleigh Ride" features clips from the previous video with the band playing in the snow and the lyrics to song appear to sing-a-long to.
