Kim Kardashian has dropped an early Christmas present with a “Santa Baby” cover produced by her brother-in-law Travis Barker and a video treatment directed by her favorite collaborator Nadia Lee Cohen.

For most of the video, Kim crawls around a humble retro home wearing a blonde wig and little more than a nude Skims set. Her cover of the holiday tune plays softly in the background, as glitches interrupt the lo-fi video, seemingly captured on an old digital camera.

The house is riddled with absurd vignettes played out by unknown characters including brawling men, a catatonic woman trimming a Christmas tree, a group playing naked Twister, and a nativity scene complete with a Mother Mary and a live donkey. The video’s highlight arrives at the end with a surprise appearance from Macaulay Culkin, famously known for his role in the Christmas cinema classic Home Alone.

Nadia Lee Cohen’s aesthetic has a strong presence in the creative direction, characterized by themes of modern banality, Americana and unnerving nostalgia. The artist is a regular collaborator of Kim, often directing the visuals of Skims campaigns and the celebrity and businesswoman’s magazine features.
