A Nonsense Christmas Special with Sabrina Carpenter aims to be entertaining and exciting, and it definitely fulfills expectations. 

Hosted by and starring Carpenter, the Netflix special consists of skits, popular Christmas hits, and Carpenter’s songs from her album Fruitcake. Also it includes duets and appearances by Chappell Roan, Tyla, Shania Twain, and more. 

The special keeps readers entertained by switching between skits, her personal songs, and classic Christmas songs like “Santa Baby” and “Last Christmas.” 

Two of her own songs that are sung early in the special, “Buy Me Presents” and “Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do” are fan favorites and for good reason. Carpenter shows off her talent by changing some of the notes in the songs, which shows listeners that it isn’t just the album version. 

The duets sung with other artists pull in new audiences by getting fans of those artists to watch. The special also includes more popular Christmas songs, which allows an older audience to enjoy it as well. 

To add more depth to the episode, Carpenter performs her song “Cindy Lou Who,” which is a more sorrowful sounding song, in a black and white segment.

The skits include actors like Quinta Brunson, who is known for her role on the show Abbott Elementary, and Nico Hiraga, who is known for his role in the movie Moxie. 

Overall, the episode is entertaining because of the diversity of songs, performers, and acting.
