Kim Kardashian’s latest creative venture, a cover of Santa Baby accompanied by a surreal short film, has sparked polarized reactions online. Directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, the video, released on December 23, features Kardashian crawling through various rooms in a house, each showcasing eclectic scenes, including men gambling, nuns, and a surprise cameo by Macaulay Culkin.

Timed for the holiday season, the project marks another addition to Kardashian’s diverse career, which spans reality TV, beauty, and now music. However, the video’s unconventional visuals left many viewers unsettled. Instagram user @itscoonie commented, “I am so confused. Kim, what are you doing?” Another user, @kyg23, added, “This left me feeling quite uncomfortable. It seems to highlight many issues often criticized about Hollywood, and it comes across as undermining the true meaning of Christmas.”

Not all reactions were critical. Some fans expressed curiosity about the film’s intent. Instagram user @moesha.masamba noted, “I love Kim, so I’d really want to hear what her explanation of the meaning of this is before I judge it.” Others, like @ang_caro_, described the visuals as “the weirdest thing I’ve seen.”

Kardashian’s willingness to experiment with provocative and unconventional art underscores her ability to remain a topic of conversation. The Santa Baby project blends nostalgia and surrealism, creating a divisive yet impactful piece that continues to spark discussion during the festive season.
