Christmas is right around the corner! It might only be November, but with major shopping malls putting their decorations up and Christmas-y songs playing everywhere, it’s definitely Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas.

And to kick-start Santa season, Frozen’s Idina Menzel and award-winning crooner Michael Buble have collaborated a kiddy version of the popular “Baby It’s Cold Outside”, found on Menzel’s new album, Holiday Wishes. While the song is – obviously – sung by Menzel and Buble, the video, set in a gorgeous hotel with a distinct Great Gatsby-ish feel, feature patrons and staff played by kids in 1920’s outfits.

Baby It's Cold Outside, Michael Buble, Idina Menzel, Christmas, 2014

Try not to melt into a puddle of goo!

 

Keeping everything PG-13 are the slightly modified lyrics: For example, “Say, was that a wink?” in place of the ever-so-slightly dodgy “Say, what’s in this drink?”, and “Maybe just another dance more” instead of “Maybe just a cigarette more”, which would’ve been really weird in a video starring children.

While the sweet pint-sized pair are the undoubted stars of the show, the grown-up superstars voicing this timeless Christmas classic don’t just hide away the entire time. Watch the video and spot Menzel and Buble’s cameos!

Also, if you’re a Buble fan like we are, Michael Buble will be in Malaysia on Jan 27, 2015! You can get tickets here and the earlybird 10% discount ends tomorrow, on Nov 21, 2014.
