Pop icon Kylie Minogue has given fans a festive treat with a sneak peek at the chaotic behind-the-scenes action from her latest music video. The singer threw a raucous office Christmas party to film the upcoming clip for her new track, 'XMAS'.
Behind the Scenes of the Office Party Antics
The 57-year-old Australian superstar fully embraced the Christmas spirit for the shoot, dazzling in a sequinned mini-dress featuring silver and pink stripes. She completed the festive look with a pair of heels and a whimsical headband shaped like a tinsel-covered Christmas tree.
Sharing a series of playful photos on Instagram, Kylie was captured in character, gasping in mock surprise while opening a photocopier and giggling next to a 'co-worker' pretending to be asleep at their desk. She excitedly captioned the post: 'We did a music video Office Party style coming Friday!!!'
Celebrating a Decade of 'Kylie Christmas'
The video heralds the release of a special anniversary edition of her beloved seasonal record. Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) is set for release on December 5, marking ten years since the original album's debut.
This updated version will include four brand new songs: 'Hot In December', 'This Time Of Year', 'Office Party', and the Amazon Music Original, 'XMAS'. It will also feature classic hits like 'Santa Baby' and 'It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year'.
'Revisiting Kylie Christmas ten years on has been so much fun,' Kylie said. 'Fully Wrapped has given me the chance to write and record four new songs and add a little extra sparkle - I can’t wait for everyone to turn up the volume on the new single, XMAS!'
Building on a Resurgent Wave of Success
This festive project arrives as Minogue enjoys a significant career resurgence, particularly in the United States. For years, the star—the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK—had found major stateside success elusive.
That changed dramatically in 2023 with the viral smash 'Padam Padam' and her album 'Tension'. This breakthrough earned her a Grammy, a second number one on the US Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, and a coveted Las Vegas residency.
Previously, Kylie had expressed a resigned acceptance about her profile in the US, once stating she had 'resigned myself to the fact that America wouldn't be like the rest of the world for me.' However, her record label confirmed in 2023 that cracking the American market is now a firm focus, a goal her recent achievements have made a tangible reality.
With a hit festive album refresh and a playful, festive music video on the way, Kylie Minogue is ensuring her sparkle dominates the Christmas season once again.
