Sabrina Carpenter Wants to ‘Jingle Your Bells’ With ‘A Nonsense Christmas’ Holiday Variety Special
Forget espresso — Sabrina Carpenter is ready to start sipping on eggnog. This holiday season, the 25-year-old pop star is helping fans get festive with a Netflix special titled A Nonsense Christmas, as announced Thursday (Sept. 19).
In a teaser clip posted to her Instagram, a camera pans up Carpenter’s body to show fur-trimmed boots, tights and a Playboy Bunny-esque red leotard before finally revealing her face. “Expecting someone else?” she says playfully, smirking as faux snow falls on her head.
“This is really gonna jingle your bells,” reads the video’s caption.
Arriving at 9 p.m. ET on Dec. 6 via the streaming service, A Nonsense Christmas is billed as a holiday variety show featuring musical guests and comedic cameos. The Work It star will also perform songs from her seasonal 2023 EP Fruitcake as well as treat viewers to covers of other festive hits and unexpected duets.
“The holidays have always been so special to me,” Carpenter said in a statement. “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.”
According to executive producer Michael D. Ratner of OBB Media, the project will “subvert the classic holiday special.” Directed by Sam Wrench, A Nonsense Christmas is backed by OBB as well as At Last Productions.
The news comes amid the third week of Carpenter’s reign atop the Billboard 200 with new album Short n’ Sweet, which dropped Aug. 23. The Disney Channel alum’s music career has exploded this year thanks to the success of singles “Please Please Please” — which became her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 over the summer — “Espresso” and “Taste.”
