Ryan Gosling drops 3 new versions of 'I'm Just Ken' — including a Christmas cover

This season, just call Ryan Gosling "Kristmas Ken."

The Barbie star brought the holiday cheer a few days early by dropping Ken the EP, featuring three new versions of "I'm Just Ken," the absolute banger of a song from the official Barbie soundtrack. One such version is a Christmas rendition, complete with a music video of Gosling wearing his Ken shades singing the song in a studio surrounded by colorful Christmas lights.

The cover is officially dubbed "I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)," which is followed on the EP by the stripped-down "In My Feelings" acoustic version, the electric "Purple Disco Machine Remix," and a rerelease of the original "I'm Just Ken" classic.

"Do you think it's too much Christmas?" Gosling asks in the official "Merry Kristmas Barbie" music video, noting all the holiday imagery, including his personal Santa mug. "There's just a worry if we do too much Christmas no one's going to watch it after the 26th." Somehow we doubt people will lose interest.

Ken the EP was created with Barbie soundtrack producers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, who helped bring the film's tally of Grammy nominations to 12, including one for "I'm Just Ken."

So cozy up with some hot chocolate, comfy jammies, maybe a cookie or two, and get into the holiday spirit with these new jams. The only one who might become a grinch would be Mariah Carey, but only in the event "Merry Kristmas Barbie" somehow knocks her Christmas classic off the top of the charts.
