And as a cherry on top, a scene-stealing cameo by Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson, who appears as a ghost of holiday present with a hilariously modern twist.
While Santa’s participation remains unconfirmed, fans can count on Carpenter’s unique style — complete with jingling bells — to deliver the festive magic.
Carpenter, who serves as a producer on the project via her At Last Productions banner, shared her excitement:
“The holidays have always been so special to me. I’m excited to bring my take on a classic holiday variety show — infusing my love of music and comedy to make something that is uniquely me.”
The special is co-produced by OBB Pictures, led by executive producer Michael D. Ratner, who said:
“Sabrina’s vision to subvert the classic holiday special has been clear from day one. At OBB, we love reimagining expectations, and we’re proud of the team that helped bring her vision to life on Netflix.”
Carpenter’s holiday special comes on the heels of a record-breaking year. Her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the third-biggest first-week debut of 2024, with critics hailing the album as a career-defining work.
With A Nonsense Christmas, Carpenter is poised to cement her place as the queen of holiday cheer. Be sure to tune in for what promises to be the perfect combination of nonsense and nostalgia.
Stay tuned for updates, surprise guests, and — of course — the closing holiday outro that’s sure to be as charmingly quirky as the show itself.
