Sabrina Carpenter’s Netflix Trailer for A Nonsense Christmas Reveals Duets with Chappell Roan, Tyla and Shania Twain

Sabrina Carpenter is bringing the holiday cheer early with her upcoming Netflix special A Nonsense Christmas, which promises to be a star-studded extravaganza. The 25-year-old singer and actress unveiled the trailer for the highly anticipated special during the final U.S. stop of her Short n’ Sweet Tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on November 18. The special, which premieres on December 6, showcases Carpenter’s signature charm and musical talent, along with appearances from a variety of A-list guests.

The trailer kicks off with Carpenter teasing viewers, “Christmas is coming early this year — I wouldn’t count on a silent night,” before diving into a series of holiday shenanigans. The special will feature Carpenter singing “A Nonsense Christmas,” a sensual holiday tune, while previewing duets with an exciting mix of collaborators. Among the standout performers are pop singer Chappell Roan, rising star Tyla, and legendary country artist Shania Twain, all of whom will join Carpenter for what promises to be unforgettable musical moments.

Other high-profile guests making appearances include Kali Uchis, actress Quinta Brunson from Abbott Elementary, model Cara Delevingne, comedian Kyle Mooney, and actors Nico Hiraga, Megan Stalter, Sean Astin, Owen Thiele, and Jillian Bell. The trailer hints at comedic skits, too, with the cast engaging in playful holiday antics.

Directed by Sam Wrench, who is known for his work on Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film, A Nonsense Christmas blends music, humor, and festive fun. The special will feature songs from Carpenter’s holiday EP fruitcake, alongside a mix of classic holiday hits. Though the full tracklist remains under wraps, fans can expect Carpenter to perform some of her holiday favorites, including covers of iconic songs by her featured guests. In fact, Carpenter has already shared her renditions of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” during BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge series and Shania Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” on her Short n’ Sweet tour. Twain herself has expressed admiration for Carpenter’s cover, calling it “a huge compliment,” and praising her as “such a talented person.”

The trailer also teases some lighthearted moments, including Carpenter and Brunson taking on the roles of the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, alongside model Cara Delevingne. In a funny exchange, Brunson compliments Carpenter’s bangs, to which Carpenter responds, “Thank you. I got them because he ghosted me.” The quirky humor continues with Carpenter appearing on Santa’s lap, while a playful twist on her viral lyric “I’m working late because I’m a singer” emerges when Santa himself sings, “I’m working late because I’m Santa.”

The Christmas special is expected to deliver not only festive music but also a healthy dose of holiday humor. With the ensemble cast, star performances, and Carpenter’s endearing personality, A Nonsense Christmas is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans this holiday season.

A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter will be available for streaming on Netflix starting December 6 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Whether you’re looking for festive tunes, hilarious skits, or a heartwarming holiday experience, Sabrina Carpenter’s latest special promises to deliver all the magic of the season with a dash of irreverent fun.
