Fans can’t stop reacting hilariously to Kim Kardashian and Macaulay Culkin’s new Christmas photo

They say opposites attract, but throw that one out the window because nobody saw this one coming. A picture has surfaced showing Kim Kardashian sitting on Macaulay Culkin's lap. The very unexpected pair came as a rogue snowball after a Christmas music video the two made for Kim's version of Santa Baby.

The now-infamous snapshot shows Kim rocking a snug blue cardigan while Culkin is dressed as the jolliest version of Santa Claus.

Naturally, the internet—aka the world's unofficial comment section—is going absolutely feral. Fans are either cracking up, scratching their heads, or spitting out their peppermint mochas in confusion. One X (formerly Twitter) user hilariously summoned Brenda Song, Culkin's actual wife, with the comment: "London Tipton, come get your man!"

This user posted a GIF featuring Culkin's on-screen mother in Home Alone, Catherine O'Hara, screaming KEVIN!

A user commented: "If I was Brenda Song I wouldn’t stand for this."

Another user humorously said: "Bro said I’m home alone."

A user mentioned: "THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR. I draw the line here."

A comment read: "Brenda Song about to channel her inner Wendy Wu and dropkick her way into this situation. 😂 Kim better watch out—Wendy doesn’t miss! 🥋".

Another comment read: "He ain’t home alone."

The Santa Baby

This all started because of Kardashian's let's-shock-the-world-again energy. Her cover of the holiday classic Santa Baby dropped on December 23, and it's been the talk of the tinsel town since.

Produced by Travis Barker, the track is paired with a music video that can only be described as a whimsical fever dream meets retro glam. The video, directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, features Kim crawling toward Culkin-as-Santa, giving the internet enough meme material to last until next Christmas.

Honestly, the whole thing has us questioning the multiverse because this was definitely not on our 2024 bingo cards.

About Macaulay Culkin

Let's not forget who Culkin is: the OG king of Christmas chaos. Born in 1980, he was a household name playing Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

It's a weirdly full-circle moment to see Culkin in this role— protecting his house from holiday burglars to letting Kim Kardashian perch on his lap in a cardigan.

Meanwhile, in Kardashian land…

While the internet's collective jaws are still on the floor, Kim is out here living her best festive life. On Christmas Eve, she and her daughter North West posted a TikTok that has everyone talking– because, duh, it's Kim and North. The video features North dancing to "Santa Tell Me."

Of course, it wouldn't be a Kardashian moment without controversy. But some felt North's getup was too mature for a girl of her age; Kim, famously unbothered, hasn't addressed the critics. Which, in the Kardashian world, is an answer in itself.
