Kim Kardashian is making waves once again—this time in the music world. The reality star-turned-business mogul surprised fans with her rendition of the holiday classic Santa Baby, releasing a surreal and quirky music video on December 23.
The project, created in collaboration with her brother-in-law Travis Barker, brings a chaotic yet festive vibe to the 1953 hit originally performed by Eartha Kitt.

In the nearly five-minute video, Kardashian channels an unconventional Christmas aesthetic, crawling through a chaotic party house in a blonde wig and a series of retro-inspired outfits. Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, the visuals blend old-school VHS-style footage with surreal holiday scenes, from shivering around a fire to arguing over money.

“Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me,” Kardashian croons as she crawls past unexpected setups—a businessman on the phone beside a donkey, a figure dressed as Jesus raiding a fridge, and a Twister game in progress. The chaos peaks with a woman chopping down a Christmas tree while others sweep up money with brooms.
The video ends with a surprising reveal: the camera pans to show Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin dressed as Santa Claus, capturing the scene on a camcorder.
Kardashian recorded Santa Baby during season three of The Kardashians, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. The track was released under Barker’s DTA Records and Kardashian’s Kimsaprincess, Inc.
Khloé Kardashian shared her support in the comment section of the video, writing, “Come on Santa!!” Fans also noted the playful, bizarre vibe, with one user quipping, “Is this for Halloween… because this scares me.”
While Kardashian’s distinctive take on the Christmas classic received mixed reactions, it’s clear the video struck a chord with fans and critics alike. Whether you see it as a holiday masterpiece or just another quirky Kardashian moment, one thing is certain: Kim knows how to keep people talking.
Her version of Santa Baby is now available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music, just in time to add some unconventional cheer to your holiday playlist.
