Justin Bieber has the holiday spirit! He proves it by having his song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" featured in the new Christmas film Arthur Christmas. OK! spoke exclusively to director Sarah Smith at the film's NYC premiere last week about the exclusive "Santa" music video.

Sarah told OK! how the video came about. "Well, we heard that Justin Bieber was making a Christmas track and Sony approached him and apparently he turns out to be an Aardman fan. So he was happy to have one his Christmas songs attached to the movie, which was great."

Does she expect a lot of Beliebers to come to the film because of his song? She laughed and said, "I would love to have a lot of Justin Bieber believers and a lot of Santa believers. So between them we hope we’ve got everyone covered!"
