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.

The video is a sultry edition of the Christmas classic where Kim Kardashian pulls a blonde bob and crawls across the floors of a house, panning the camera towards fleeting scenarios through different rooms. Only by the end of the music video does the lens throw light on a man in Santa dress holding a camcorder, which turns out to be the Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin. Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis are behind the direction.

Although Kardashian has long lamented the absence of the father of four, navigating the hardships of solo parenting, fans see this music video as a result of her life “without Kanye.” While fans are floored that she can carry a tune, this ‘Santa Baby’ rendition is more of a festive shocker than a showstopper.

Some fans summoned Taylor Swift, and no guesses about this, but it was all the work of non-Swifties who believed Kardashian writes a better tune story than.
