As the year winds down, people seek solace in revisiting cherished traditions. These customs extend far beyond the familiar aromas of gingerbread, the retrieval of Christmas stockings, or the joyous gatherings centered on the festive turkey. Traditions are inherently personal, and while some may adhere to conventional norms, others find comfort in habits such as indulging in classic Christmas releases and jingles from years past. But then there is Sabrina Carpenter, who staked out a claim on both sides of the fence with A Nonsense Christmas, a holiday special that is equal parts fresh and festive.

Though it arrived backed by a major complaint from the fans, Carpenter proved a fresh twist on tradition can sometimes be a welcome gift.

Swapping the shots of espresso for a warm cup of Christmas hot chocolate, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter hit the Netflix shelves on December 6. The holiday variety music special features Carpenter’s performance of her holiday EP ‘fruitcake’ among other top holiday covers alongside special guest performing artists, comedic cameos, and iconic but unexpected duets. Carpenter’s Christmas release is a holiday hit, catapulting to the 7th spot on Netflix’s Top 10 US shows in a whirlwind week.

Carpenter’s show-stopping moments have many fans brainstorming if she could become the ultimate pop empress in the time to come. Although A Nonsense Christmas was lamented with the absence of a soundtrack album by viewers, her quick securing of a spot in Netflix’s Top 10 US shows proves it has no shortcomings in its popularity. The chart is led by The Madness, Black Doves, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On Season 3, Is It Cake Holiday?, and A Man on the Inside.

The other shows include The Later Daters, Fortune Feimster Crushing It, and The Empress. While Carpenter’s show is already a festive favorite, here are the star-studded names who feature the Christmas special.

A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter on Netflix is not a traditional Christmas release but a star-studded one featuring duets with Chappell Roan, Shania Twain, and Kali Uchis. It also includes appearances from Nico Hiraga, Cara Delevingne, Kyle Mooney, Megan Statler, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele, and Jillian Bell. Additionally, Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Bronson appears as a holiday present ghost. Carpenter is a star of the show for sure, but also a production head alongside OBB Pictures under her At Last Productions banner.

In a conversation with the streamer a week back, the pop star reflected on her excitement to bring “her take to a classic holiday variety show,” combining music and comedy for the ultimate Christmas binge session. Thus, with the viewership speaking on behalf of Carpenter now, it goes without saying her Christmas twist has struck a chord with fans who are lapping up her holiday hijinks like hot cocoa on a cold winter night.
