Santa Baby is a 2001 animated holiday special that aired on the Fox network. It was Rankin/Bass' first new, original Christmas special in over sixteen years (the last holiday production was the 1986 special The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus). Like many past Rankin/Bass specials, Santa Baby was based on a popular Christmas song. The Special featured the voices of Eartha Kitt and Gregory Hines. Like much of Rankin/Bass' specials, it was based off a song, in this case, the 1954 song originally recorded by Kitt and covered in A Very Special Christmas by Madonna in 1986.
