Lil Jon is back in a big way. The rapper, who hasn’t released a new studio album since 2010’s Crunk Rock, joined forces with the Kool-Aid Man – the fictional pitcher-shaped character who smashes through walls – to release a holiday single called “All I Really Want for Christmas,” and it’s as amazing as one would expect.
There’s nothing new about getting takeout food, but in recent years some celebs have stepped up their game and taken wine, cocktails or various other beverages with them on the run with nary a to-go cup in sight. BFFs Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, for example, were photographed in September 2018 leaving a Paris hotel […]
The Kool-Aid Twitter account shared the track (accompanied by an equally entertaining music video) on Monday, December 17, and it was instantly met with a barrage of tweets that ranged from genuinely impressed to slightly confused. “Best Christmas Song of the year! Hands down!” one Twitter user wrote. Added another: “This is what we’ve come to now. Lil Jon Kool-Aid commercials.”
In the video, the Grammy winner and the character dance and rap together at their Kool-Aid-themed holiday soiree, which also features Kool-Aid-centric gifts (what else?) and Santa DJ’ing. At one point, Lil Jon, 47, boldly declares his preference for the bright red beverage by pouring a pitcher of egg nog into the sink before replenishing a Kool-Aid drink tower.
The song is littered with several of Lil Jon’s trademark “Yeahs,” and the Kool-Aid Man even gets in on the rap too, but let’s just say it’s hard to sing when you’re a giant glass pitcher with rudimentary eyes, nose and a mouth.
Even candy canes aren’t safe from this bizarre food trend. The holiday treats used to only have one flavor – peppermint – but since nothing is sacred anymore, the festive candies are now sold in gag-inducing varieties such as clam and pickle, and that’s just the beginning.

“I’ve recorded with a lotta artists in my time, but never did I think I would collab with Kool-Aid Man,” Lil Jon said in a press release, according to Delish. “We both bring the fun anywhere we go.”
Plenty of celebrities like to drink alcohol, but only a select few actually make it themselves. Close friends and Vampire Diaries alums Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder — they played brothers on the show — turned their real-life friendship and into something exciting, which became Brother’s Bond Bourbon. “The reality is we would finish shooting […]
