Kim Kardashian has officially put her spin on the Christmas classic “Santa Baby,” and the internet has thoughts.
The 44-year-old All’s Fair star recorded the sultry cover during season three of The Kardashians. Produced by her brother-in-law Travis Barker under his DTA Records label and Kim’s Kimsaprincess, Inc., the track was released alongside an eye-catching music video that’s already causing a stir.
In the video, Kim, rocking platinum blonde hair, lounges and crawls through a luxurious house, each room showcasing elaborate, playful setups. Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, the visual amps up the glamour and intrigue.
The real twist? The video’s final moments reveal a man dressed as Santa holding a camcorder. When he moves the camera, it’s none other than Macaulay Culkin, delivering a cameo that has fans buzzing.
Kim’s rendition and the accompanying visuals have sparked a range of reactions. On Instagram, TV host AJ Gibson summed up many people’s thoughts, commenting, “Ummm…this is unhinged. 👀.” Another fan chimed in with, “This is like a fever dream 😂.”
Some fans drew comparisons to American Horror Story, a fitting reference given Kim’s recent acting debut on the anthology series and Macaulay’s role in a previous season. “American Horror Story: Santa Edition?” one commenter joked.
This Christmas project marks another creative venture for Kim, who’s been expanding her repertoire from reality TV royalty to entrepreneur and aspiring actress. Her choice of Macaulay Culkin for the cameo adds a nostalgic nod for fans of Home Alone while keeping things unexpected.
The track and its video may not be for everyone, but Kim has never been one to play it safe. Love it or hate it, the conversation around “Santa Baby” proves her ability to keep people talking.
Whether it’s the hauntingly glamorous visuals, Macaulay’s surprise appearance, or the unique reimagining of the holiday classic, Kim’s take on “Santa Baby” is sure to be a memorable addition to your Christmas playlist—or, at the very least, your group chat.
Because if anyone knows how to make the holiday season a little extra, it’s Kim Kardashian.
