A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter

Don't listen to the haters, it's actually good, have seen it twice, this Xxxl snl with steroids, with cool music and musicians. She is not trying to be Marylin or Madonna, like some one said here, she is her self, funny and a true with her humor and style we love . She has a sense of humor, she loves to sing and entertain, this is about that. The vibe is everything, it's funny, nostalgic, and fun to watch, we need more of this, hope Netflix makes a special of her concert. The fans are going too love this, we get her, and this. It is so her with a holiday vibes. Love every thing about it will watch over and over. Must see.

I actually went into this new Christmas special with a very open mind but I have to say that it was unfortunately a cringey mess and very underwhelming overall. The different guests were probably the best part of the special, but Sabrina's continual reliance on the same corny innuendos and unoriginal shtick becomes boring and uninteresting very quickly. There's a heavy laugh track in the skits too that is distracting and there's also loud backing vocals in the musical numbers that are obvious. Overall everything feels very contrived and ultimately uninspiring. I wouldn't even call this camp, just cringe and corny. I had seen a comment saying that Sabrina is the pop equivalent of the "hawk tuah" girl and cashing in on a viral shtick. It ultimately just isn't that entertaining and feels very vapid. I wouldn't recommend this special.

I enjoyed but know for a fact I won't rewatch. When I think of a Christmas Special it's something you want to watch time and time again when the holidays come around. This is something that feels like an SNL segment, one off. It is missing something and I spent the whole special looking for it. Also the fact that Chappell Roan's end "blooper" is her complaining that the outfit she's in is straight is so weird to me when it's Sabrina's special and clearly what she wanted them to wear. The length of the special was perfect with little segments and showing us the behind the scenes of the shots as it's being shot. But again, it was just missing something.

I really don't know what to make of this, it's cringey and awkward to watch for most of it, poorly scripted, but if you love Sabrina Carpenter, you'll probably love this.. but I couldn't get around it, I was waiting to for it to be funny, but it wasn't, plenty of canned laughter though, were the audience paid to laugh at skits that weren't funny? It's like a poor SNL from Temu.. There's plenty of B-lister 'celebrities' to choose from though, with their poorly executed sexual innuendos, Netflix being a bit tight with their budget this year? And It's about 30 minutes too long.. but it's like, 'what is one man's trash is another man's treasure', so some are going to like it, some aren't..

10/10. No notes. Thank you Sabrina for bringing us all a holiday tradition of snuggling up by the fire and watching this masterpiece of a special. Actress Sabrina is finally back as well!!! We missed her so dearly. (Get her back on SNL btw, wth are we doing???) Her vocals, outfits, skits, jokes, and lineup was all so incredibly amazing. She has done it yet again, making hit after hit. I'm in shock that she played Cindy Lou Who? It sounds even more incredible live with the piano and violins. Will be watching many more times in the next few days, that's for sure. I know for sure that everybody who watched this had the best 50mins of their year. Thank you to the singer, actress, comedian, producer, dancer, Sabrina Carpenter!!
