Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nonsense Christmas” special has arrived on Netflix, bringing festive cheer and a whole lot of laughs. The 49-minute show, based on her 2023 “Fruitcake” EP, features celebrity appearances, sketch comedy, and a mix of Carpenter’s original holiday tunes and classic Christmas songs with her unique twist on the lyrics.
Directed by Sam Wrench, the special had to navigate the balance between Carpenter’s signature NSFW humor and maintaining a TV-14 rating. As Carpenter herself joked, she can say “fuck” three times, which she cleverly incorporated into her performance.
The special is not just a musical comedy holiday show, it’s a star-studded event with A-list guests joining Carpenter on stage. From comedic sketches to heartfelt duets, the special has something for everyone.
One of the standout moments was Carpenter’s duet with Chappell Roan on “Last Christmas,” where they sang karaoke-style in festive winter coats. The chemistry between the two artists added a special touch to the performance.
In a hilarious sketch, Carpenter tackled the topic of “ghosting” with her friends Megan Stalter and Owen Thiele, along with guest star Sean Astin. The comedic take on modern dating trends had the audience in stitches and delivered a clever message about relationships.
Throughout the special, Carpenter engages with her fans in a fun and interactive way, acknowledging their presence and support. She knows how her audience is watching and appreciates their dedication to tuning in.
The show also features several other duets, including performances with Tyla, Shania Twain, and Kali Uchis, adding variety and depth to the musical lineup.
As the special comes to a close, Carpenter delivers a festive and humorous “Nonsense” outro, wrapping up the show on a high note. Her infectious energy and playful spirit shine through in every moment.
“A Nonsense Christmas With Sabrina Carpenter” is now available for streaming on Netflix, offering a delightful blend of music, comedy, and holiday cheer for viewers to enjoy.
