Grab the cookies and espresso: A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, a holiday variety music special will stream exclusively on Netflix on Friday, December 6 at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST.

The holiday special will showcase pop icon Carpenter performing songs from her holiday EP fruitcake and other chart-topping holiday covers, and feature guest performing artists, comedic cameos, and unexpected duets.

Who’s performing in A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter?

The show will feature duets with Chappell Roan, Tyla, Shania Twain, and Kali Uchis, and will also include appearances from Nico Hiraga, Quinta Brunson, Cara Delevingne, Kyle Mooney, Megan Stalter, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele, and Jillian Bell.

No confirmation on whether Santa Claus will make an appearance, but fans can count on their No. 1 SC to be there with bells on. Carpenter is producing A Nonsense Christmas alongside OBB Pictures under her At Last Productions banner.

“The holidays have always been so special to me,” Carpenter told Netflix. “I am excited to bring my take to a classic holiday variety show — infusing my love of music and comedy to make something that is uniquely me.”

“Sabrina’s vision to subvert the classic holiday special has been clear since day one,” said Michael D. Ratner, executive producer and founder/CEO of OBB Media. “At OBB, we partner with the world’s most captivating artists to reimagine the expected, and we’re proud of the work by our entire team and want to highlight Simone Spira, the Volara team, Sam Wrench, Nikki Boella and all involved that brought Sabrina’s vision to life on Netflix.”

Of course, long before the holidays, Carpenter had already established herself as the gift that keeps on giving. Just before the announcement of A Nonsense Christmas, Carpenter released her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it the third-biggest first week debut in 2024. The album was instantly met with an outpouring of critical acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Variety, and many more. 

A Nonsense Christmas is produced by Sabrina Carpenter; Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, Simone Spira, and Kfir Goldberg for OBB; Bill Perlman and Janelle Lopez Genzink. Check back for updates on surprise guests — and what will surely be the perfect nonsense holiday outro.

I wonder if this duet has a studio version? Be nice to see this released so I can download it. I like that Shania is teaming up with an artist who is New and popular. A Christmas duet I wasn't expecting but I'm loving it.

REMINDER: "A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter" premieres tonight on Netflix at 9:00pm ET. Sabrina and Shania sing "Santa Baby".

The 10 Best Moments From Sabrina Carpenter’s Star-Studded ‘Nonsense Christmas’ Special

Unpacking the most deliriously funny, ho-ho-ho-iest Christmas special of the season

By Angie Martoccio | Rolling Stone | December 6, 2024 

Are you hot? Are you young? Is your stocking well-hung? Then you’ll enjoy Sabrina Carpenter’s A Nonsense Christmas, her new Netflix special, out just in time for the holidays. The pop star caps her year of explosive stardom — from “Espresso” all the way to her Grammy nominations in the Big Four categories — with this charming hour of holiday cheer. Obviously, that hour is jam-packed with her signature innuendos (“You’re in luck, I’ve trimmed my tree just for you!”) and her top-tier humor: “Seriously, they told me I could have an unlimited budget as long as I go viral, so I’m gonna break the set just to do it.”

Much like her triumphant Short n’ Sweet tour and its vintage television set, Carpenter breaks the fourth wall on A Nonsense Christmas, taking the audience backstage and into her dressing room. “You could have been anywhere tonight, spending time with family, helping the less fortunate,” she tells us. “But instead, you’re here, half-watching a big screen, while scrolling social media on a smaller screen. And for that, I’m forever grateful.”

She also gets incredibly meta, explaining she can only say “f*ck” three times while poking fun at herself for creating a special in the first place. “There are comedy specials, and there are music specials, and there are holiday specials,” she notes. “But who does musical comedy holiday specials? A lot of people. But do those specials have celebrity guests? Yes, they do! Everyone with a musical comedy holiday special does them with celebrity guests, and this is one of those!”

Here are the best moments from A Nonsense Christmas, for those in need of that Charles Dickens.

Jolly Saint Sean

Goonies and Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin — who’s currently playing Santa Claus in the Broadway musical adaptation of 2003’s Elf — reprises that jolly role in the special. He stars in a skit with Carpenter, in which the pop star introduces him to her friends as “my boyfriend Nick.” The pals, played by Hacks’ Megan Stalter and actor Owen Thiele, quickly begin to suspect that this guy is in fact Santa Claus, especially when Astin asks for a warm glass of milk and an oversized chocolate chip cookie dusted lightly with candy cane shards. The whole scene is twisted and charming, especially when Astin later sings to himself, “I’m working late/Because I’m Santa!”

Man, Mrs. Claus Feels Like a Woman

Shania Twain plays Mrs. Claus, who enters Carpenter’s living room looking for her husband — a.k.a. Carpenter’s boyfriend. “We’ve been married 400 years!” she tells him. “But after the first hundred,” Astin replies, “We decided to be open.” Twain and Carpenter take the stage for a glorious acoustic rendition of “Santa Baby,” singing lines about ‘54 baby blue convertibles and tree decorations from Tiffany’s. The special could end here, and everyone would be happy.
