Kim Kardashian has released her unexpected and quirky cover of Santa Baby, which includes a surprise cameo from an A-list star. In the Americana-style music video, the 44-year-old reality TV personality is seen crawling across the floor in a blonde wig, dressed in a baby blue cropped cardigan, vest top, and nude leggings. As she moves through the house, she passes a group of elves, adding a whimsical and surreal touch to the visual. The bizarre clip, which was recorded last year, has sparked mixed reactions due to its playful and unconventional concept.
In the bizarre Santa Baby cover video, Kim Kardashian is joined by an eclectic cast of characters, including Jesus, businessmen, a choir, models playing Twister, and bodybuilders, all adding to the surreal atmosphere. As the video reaches its conclusion, viewers are confronted with a creepy Santa, who is revealed to be none other than Macaulay Culkin, recording everything on camera.
The song was produced by Kardashian’s brother-in-law, Travis Barker, through his DTA Records, in collaboration with Kim’s Kimsaprincess, Inc. The unconventional and eccentric video has certainly made an impression, blending holiday cheer with a quirky, avant-garde edge.
In a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian shared that the idea of a family Christmas album was born after their mother, Kris Jenner, released a Christmas song in 2021. “After my mom recorded her Christmas song, all my sisters, like we’ve all been talking about doing a Christmas album,” Kourtney confessed, noting their shared love for the holiday season. She added that all the proceeds from the album would be donated to charity.
Later, the family was seen at Travis Barker’s recording studio for a tequila-fueled session, although Kylie Jenner was absent. When a producer inquired about her absence, Kylie humorously explained, “I have a different vision for myself in my singing career. I’m such a major singer and I have such a beautiful voice and I just don’t think like they’re worthy, honestly,” before adding, “Just kidding.”
Earlier in the episode, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris worked with a vocal coach to prepare for the album. The scene shifted to Travis’ studio, where Kourtney remarked, “The tequila is here to calm our nerves, and hopefully loosen us up to get those vocal chords ready,” as Travis introduced “matcha margaritas” to the mix. The lighthearted, tequila-filled session set the stage for the family’s Christmas music venture.
As the family gathers for their Christmas album recording, they begin drinking, with Kim humorously admitting, “A chase of moscato with tequila is… so nasty!” Kim then starts singing her Santa Baby cover, while Kris Jenner tells Kourtney and Kendall, “No laughing.” When Khloe complains she can’t hear them, Kris responds, “I know, but she can see us.”
In a heartfelt confession, Kim reflects on the family’s dynamic, saying, “Kourtney and I spoke, we had our talk, and just doing things like this… we honestly haven’t been together as a family in awhile.” She adds, “So, it feels really good and just back to normal when we’re all here just like laughing and having fun and just being stupid together.”
Kim’s performance of Santa Baby impresses Travis Barker and his engineers, with one of them asking, “Which song are we doing next?” The lighthearted atmosphere and the family’s bonding moment add a special touch to their Christmas project.
