Entrepreneur and media personality, Kim Kardashian, released a cover video of the popular Santa Baby on December 23, 2024, and posted it on her Instagram (@kimkardashian). Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis directed the video while Travis Barker served as the producer.

As per reports, Kardashian recorded the cover video during an episode of her show The Kardashians in the third season. The video was released via DTA Records, and her California-based corporation Kimsaprincess, Inc. With the video making rounds on social media, internet users appeared to be thrown into disbelief as one X user commented:

“SHE SINGS?”

While many social media users commented that it was unexpected from Kim Kardashian, others complimented the cover:

“Just being honest here, I had no idea she could sing,” a social media user wrote.
“The way it actually sounds good, kim is so random,” a person commented on X.
“Kim K's 'Santa Baby' cover is here, and it's the holiday surprise we didn't know we needed!” a netizen remarked.

Netizens referred to Kim Kardashian’s Jam (Turn It Up) track from 2011 though others noted that her Santa Baby cover was interesting:

“The amount of people that haven’t heard Jam ( Turn It Up ) is quite concerning,” an X user pointed out.
“She’s trying to get that Mariah Carey Christmas money,” an internet user reacted.
“Kim just knocking stuff off a list of things she wanted to try,” an online user wrote.
“Unexpected but interesting,” a netizen mentioned.

Kim Kardashian’s Santa Baby cover saw Macaulay Culkin in a cameo appearance

The assumed highlight of the cover was Macaulay Culkin’s appearance towards the end of the video as Santa Claus. He holds a camera recorder which covers his face partially. As he moves it to one side, viewers get a full glimpse of Culkin’s face.

According to YouTuber, Colt Paulse, the video became more iconic because Macaulay Culkin appeared to record the entire video with the cam recorder. He said:

“This supposed to be a sequel to Home Alone? I am going to have to go back and rewatch this 15,000 more times but Kim, you are on the Nice List.”

In the Santa Baby cover, Kim Kardashian crawled around a dirty house amidst random people busy with their businesses. The video shows a bodybuilder, a woman in a fish tank-like pool, and a depiction of Mother Mary, a nun, Jesus Christ, and other people in lingerie playing Twister.


During an interview with Vogue Magazine, Kim Kardashian revealed her family would opt for an intimate gathering instead of a grand one. Expressing her love for Santa Baby during the conversation, she added:

“We are doing a really low-key Christmas eve party this year just because we have a lot of construction going on so we are doing a really family intimate one that I am excited about.”

Nevertheless, Kim mentioned she would dress up to the ‘nines’ as that’s what they do. Kim Kardashian also called it a fun tradition, and her kids liked the Christmas parties.
