Kim Kardashian has gifted her fans an early holiday surprise with her rendition of the classic holiday tune “Santa Baby.” The cover, produced by her brother-in-law and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, is paired with a captivating music video directed by renowned visual artist Nadia Lee Cohen.
Set in a retro-inspired home, the video showcases Kim embodying a vintage aesthetic with a blonde wig and a minimalist nude Skims ensemble. Her sultry vocals softly echo through the surreal scenes, accompanied by a lo-fi, glitchy video style that evokes the charm of an old digital camera.
The video’s setting is anything but ordinary, featuring a series of bizarre and absurd moments. From two men in an intense brawl to a catatonic woman decorating a Christmas tree, and even a group indulging in a game of naked Twister, the scenes challenge traditional holiday visuals. The video reaches its peak with a nativity scene featuring a live donkey and a surprise cameo by Macaulay Culkin, the iconic star of the Christmas classic Home Alone.
Nadia Lee Cohen’s signature style shines through the project, blending Americana nostalgia with unsettling, hyper-stylized visuals. Known for her collaborations with Kim on Skims campaigns and high-fashion magazine shoots, Cohen brings her unique perspective to the festive yet eerie video.
