'Carol Of The Bulls' Holiday Dunkfest Features Benny And The Elevators (VIDEO)

WATCH: Benny And The Elevators' 'Carol Of The Bulls'

This holiday season, the still Derrick Rose-less Bulls are still not short on things to be thankful for: they have rallied after a slow start to the season to win eight of their last 11 games and currently sit atop their division.

Paying some holiday cheer forward, the Bulls on Wednesday unveiled a festive "holiday dunk spectacular" starring Benny and the Elevators and set to the tune of the classic "Carol of the Bells."

In other good news for Bulls fans, the latest word on the recovery of the Bulls' very own NBA MVP Derrick Rose is cheery: Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau told ESPN Thursday that the star point guard is "doing great" and that he hopes to see Rose back in action with the team in time for the season's second half.
