Jill Schoelen is bringing horror and holiday cheer together—and CM Punk is along for the ride.
The legendary scream queen—known for cult classics like The Stepfather, The Phantom of the Opera, and When a Stranger Calls Back—just dropped a festive new album packed with Christmas classics, including a playful cover of “Here Comes Santa Claus.” But it’s the official music video for the track that has fans talking.
Blending horror comedy with Christmas magic, the YouTube video features a dream lineup of horror favorites: Barbara Crampton, Judie Aronson, Diane Franklin and Krsy Fox. But the biggest surprise? CM Punk himself shows up as Santa Claus—and he’s not just delivering presents.
In the video, Punk drops down the chimney in full Santa gear, only to discover that a group of evil elves has kidnapped the women. What follows is a goofy fight straight out of a holiday-meets-horror fever dream. With a flash of sparkly powers, Punk zaps the elves into oblivion and frees the women just in time for a feel-good finale.
After the rescue, everyone joins together in a dance sequence, celebrating the chaos-turned-Christmas miracle—complete with laughs, glam and horror elements, just in time for the holidays.
Jill Schoelen’s Christmas video isn’t just festive—it’s a full-on holiday horror party with a cast fans love and a Santa Claus you never saw coming. CM Punk as a magical elf-fighting hero? That’s a Christmas surprise fans didn’t know they needed.
