Music video[edit]
The music video for "California Winter" was released on December 20, 2014. Directed by Dan O'Sullivan, the video was filmed in a single continuous shot. Preparation for the shoot began less than a week prior, with the choreography learned the day before and costumes finalized on the day of filming. The team transformed an empty room into a festive set, completing six takes, with the final cut being the last take. McKee described the effort as a "Christmas Miracle".[2]
Reception[edit]
Michelle McGahan of PopCrush praised "California Winter" as an upbeat, festive track, highlighting its potential to become a holiday season favorite in 2014. She noted the song's bubbly nature, festive elements like references to "cinnamon candles," and prominent jingle bells. McGahan compared McKee's vocal performance to a mix of Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Cyndi Lauper.[3]
