Kim Kardashian released her cover of Eartha Kitt's 1953 hit Santa Baby on December 23, accompanied by a music video styled like a short film.

The SKIMS co-founder credited Travis Barker, who is married to her sister Courtney, as the song’s producer. Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis were mentioned as the MV directors.

The VHS-style video starts with Kim Kardashian crawling across a house, where every room unfolds with seemingly bizarre and chaotic scenes. At the start, the camera pans to show an individual in a demon costume sitting on a kitchen counter while munching on some food.

Once the video surfaced online, some viewers criticized it for elements they perceived as satanic. One individual commented:

Several netizens echoed similar sentiments and criticized the video.

Some people seemingly mocked the video and said Satan made the video. Some others noted how it came out right before Christmas.

However, a few others defended Kim Kardashian, claiming the presence of a few Christian imageries in a video does not make it satanic.

Kim Kardashian's Santa Baby music video features Macaulay Culkin

Kim Kardashian's unexpected pre-Christmas gift included a surprise— Macaulay Culkin. Toward the end of the Santa Baby music video, Kim stops crawling in front of a man in a Santa Claus costume, who is without the staple white hair and beard. Instead, he holds a vintage camcorder in front of his face, and upon removing it, the man is revealed to be the Home Alone star.

Macaulay's cameo can be interpreted as a nod to Home Alone, which is often perceived as a popular Christmas essence.

Kim Kardashian has previously discussed her religious beliefs. As she graced the cover for the 2023 GQ Men of the Year issue, Kim told the publication:

"I'm probably more religious than most people guess. That's how I manage life. I look at everything as lessons. Things happen exactly the way that they are supposed to and take you exactly where you need to be. Even if it doesn't make sense at the time, it's leading you to a path."

In a 2018 Vogue interview, Kim revealed she attended a Catholic school. She shared her family starts the day with a Biblical verse from her mother, Kris Jenner, in their group chat. She reportedly asserted:

"We are very Christian."

Kim further noted the Kardashian family's "work ethic" and "discipline" were influenced by their time in Catholic education institutions.
