Kim Kardashian showcased her creative flair in a visually captivating rendition of Eartha Kitt’s classic holiday tune, “Santa Baby.” The multi-talented star, now a successful mogul at 44, collaborated with directors Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis to bring a unique vision to life. Together with her brother-in-law Travis Barker, Kardashian produced the song and unveiled an intriguing music video on December 23.
In the nearly five-minute video, Kardashian transformed into a character straight out of a surrealist dream, sporting a disheveled blonde wig as she navigated through a frenzied party scene with curious Christmas twists. From scenes of revelry to heated money disputes and chilly snow gatherings around a fire, the video offered a whimsical take on traditional holiday scenarios.
With lyrics like “Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me,” Kardashian’s rendition exuded a playful yet enigmatic charm, set against a backdrop of peculiar visuals that unfolded in the eccentric household. The video, shot during season three of The Kardashians, was released under Barker’s DTA Records and Kardashian’s Kimsaprincess, Inc.
Embracing a retro vibe reminiscent of old VHS recordings, the production featured pixelated clips and abrupt jumps in footage. Kardashian, clad in a blue shirt and beige co-ord with pink leg warmers and heels, navigated the peculiar setting with a mix of curiosity and intrigue, offering glimpses into unconventional ways people might experience the holiday season.
Amid escalating chaos within the video, viewers encountered unexpected sights like a sleeping elf, a plumber, and a room filled with sports-playing men and Twister-playing women in their underwear. The quirky scenes unfolded against a backdrop of a festive nativity display, money being swept with a broom, and individuals appearing inebriated.
As tinsel and lights adorned the doorways and a Christmas tree faced destruction at the hands of a branch-chopping woman, the video culminated in a surprising reveal. Kardashian, gazing directly at the camera, disclosed that it was filmmaker and actor Macaulay Culkin, known for his role in “Home Alone,” behind the lens donning a Santa Claus costume. Subtle piano music played as background chatter added to the ambiance captured by Culkin’s camcorder.
Khloé Kardashian enthusiastically endorsed the video, expressing her support with a spirited “Come on Santa!!” in the comments section. The unconventional take on ‘Santa Baby’ by Kim Kardashian is now available for streaming on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, offering fans a fresh interpretation of the beloved classic.
This artistic endeavor came shortly after Kardashian channeled 1990s fashion vibes by donning a figure-hugging red gown and sporting wavy hair at the SKIMS Christmas party in Los Angeles. Despite a recent foot injury, the resilient business mogul fully embraced the holiday spirit, even decorating her scooter in festive red and green hues.
