Jamie Foxx has gotten into the Yuletide spirit, splashing out his $10.5M California mansion with some of the finest decorations, lights, and figurines that money can buy.

In a video set to the tune of Nat King Cole’s famous version of “The Christmas Song,” Foxx appeared to deploy a drone in order to show off his incredible decorations, which featured everything from lighted trees to Frosty the Snowman.
