As the Christmas lights sneak out after a year of waiting and the ovens brew a familiar smell, A-listers like Kim Kardashian tend to capitalize on the festive spirit with over-the-top decorations, making their home the perfect winter wonderland. Last year, the Christmas ringers were so merry and jolly from her end that fans wished a Kardashian Christmas for themselves. But this year, her ‘Santa Baby’ cover has them hoping for an early exit from their once dreamland with no refunds on tickets needed.
Kim Kardashian recently dropped a pre-Christmas surprise with her own cover of Eartha Kitt’s ‘Santa Baby,’ the timeless festive track with a short film. ‘Santa Baby’ was performed by Kitt with Henri Rene and His Orchestra and originally released in 1953. The track was reportedly recorded during a season of three episodes of The Kardashians, with production overseen by her brother-in-law, Travis Barker via DTA Records and Kimsaprincess, Inc. The music video is a retro-styled production, featuring a cameo from the quintessential Christmas star, Macaulay Culkin.

Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis are behind the direction.
