Reality television personality Courtney Stodden has taken fans on a festive trip down memory lane by resurfacing her provocative 2016 Christmas music video. The blonde entertainer, who used the stage name Courtney Cane for the project, shared the throwback clip from her holiday song titled Mistletoe Bikini.
Festive Flirtation With Santa
Originally released when Stodden was 22-years-old, the music video centres around the theme of seducing Santa Claus through a series of sizzling outfit changes. The former reality star showcased multiple alluring ensembles including a silver rhinestone bikini, green velvet two-piece, and a plunging red Santa jumpsuit while dancing enthusiastically throughout the production.
In between her energetic dance routines, Stodden was seen flirting extensively with Santa Claus, often cosying up to the bearded festive figure. One particularly provocative scene shows the star calling Santa while he lies in bed, much to the displeasure of Mrs Claus. The video also features an elf character whipping the pinup actress, who is currently married to film producer Jared Safier.
Racy Lyrics and Festive Fun
The song's lyrics match the video's suggestive tone with Stodden crooning lines like 'I really like the taste of your peppermint stick' and 'You can slide down my chimney anytime'. During the original release in 2016, Stodden explained her motivation to UsWeekly, stating she wanted to create something that would 'make people giggle' and felt levity was needed for that year's Christmas season.
In an interview with Fox News at the time, the Washington native elaborated on the concept, saying 'Mistletoe Bikini is basically a song about how I've always had a crush on Santa Claus ever since I was a little girl'. She added that the video explores this childhood crush potentially developing into an affair behind Mrs Claus's back, describing the project as 'fun and really catchy'.
Recent Personal Updates
Stodden's festive flashback comes after she recently discussed her latest medical procedure with Daily Mail. The 31-year-old underwent a septoplasty to address breathing issues and opted for a minor cosmetic refinement during the same surgery. She expressed being 'very happy' with the outcome and considers it 'the best decision' due to improved breathing.
The procedure was performed by Dr Gary Motykie, a board-certified plastic surgeon specialising in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation. This wasn't Stodden's first nasal procedure, having previously undergone surgery in February 2016 to correct a bump and address breathing problems with Dr Robert Kotler in Beverly Hills.
In addition to her medical updates, Stodden has been celebrating personal milestones, including her first sober birthday as an adult. The last time she celebrated without alcohol was when she was 17-years-old. She told Daily Mail she feels 'incredible' about her sobriety journey and looks forward to a healthy future, despite some friends struggling to adjust to her new lifestyle.
Stodden reflected on her relationship with alcohol, sharing 'Alcohol was my escape for years, but it turned into a trap. I used it to survive trauma, but it ended up making me feel more lost and ashamed'. She firmly stated that she won't resume drinking to please friends, declaring her relationship with alcohol has 'toxic ex energy'.
The entertainer, who gained notoriety for marrying Green Mile actor Doug Hutchison when she was 16 and he was 51, continues to navigate life in the public eye while embracing positive changes to her health and lifestyle.
