Fans aren’t impressed by Kim Kardashian’s show of festivities.
As the reality TV star dropped her take of Santa Baby on socials yesterday, it featured a somewhat bizarre journey as she sank to her knees and began crawling on the ground, paired with glitchy camera footage and a nostalgic-like tint to the lens.
But the little details blew over the heads of viewers, as they described the video with words like “demonic” and “unhinged.”

The 44-year-old sported a blonde bob wig and wore a blue top, thin beige leggings, socks and heels, as she crawled her way to Santa with Santa Baby playing in the background — the audio glitchy, almost as if heard from a great distance.
On her way, she passed by three elves by the bathroom, various women in lingerie playing a game of Twisters, a donkey next to the Virgin Mary, and Jesus opening a fridge, among others.

After trudging through fake snow and passing by various other questionable activities, she finally reaches The Old Man, who seems to be filming her before the camera pans away to reveal none other than Home Alone titular star Macaulay Culkin.
The nearly 5-minute long video was directed by Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Denis, and the song was produced by Travis Barker, as credited on Kim’s Instagram page.

An overwhelming number of fans called out the strange music video, many not grasping whether there was a hidden deeper message behind it all.
“girl what the f–ck is this,” deadpanned the top comment, coming in at nearly 50K likes.

One person questioned, “This is beyond disturbing. Am I the only one that sees that?”
“Am I the only one getting demonic vibes…” a fourth echoed.
“This is disturbing. And she claims she is Christian,” someone said. “This is absurd. 😮”
“What in the methamphetamine Christmas blasphemy is this,” joked a user.
Though few and far between, a small handful of people praised the SKIMS founder for being a “genius,” adding that the “70s vibe” was a work of art.

It appears Kim is no stranger to backlash regarding the misuse of religious objects, as reported by New York Post.
Back in November, the mother-of-four promoted one of her SKIMS bra and underwear sets while a rosary dangled by her neck.
Many of the commenters felt the need to point out her insensitivity.
“Please 🙏Kim don’t use the holy rosary on that way,” one wrote.
Another demanded, “Take off the rosary. This is completely inappropriate.”

“Wearing a cross while being half naked. [Would you] make a mockery out of other religions too?” a fan slammed.
Others proceeded to point out how the “holy rosary” is not a fashion accessory.
The verdict of viewers: it was "beyond weird," bad, and "disturbing"
