7/10
Does this special truly need a review? Not really. You're either gonna watch it or you're not. I happened to watch it, not because I'm a Sabrina Carpenter fan, but rather I follow her on social media and I'm very entertained by her.
My first introduction with her was on "Girl Meets World" and I thought she wasn't bad in that. I liked "Boy Meets World" and since then I've only followed her from a distance. Honestly this special was not bad. It's funny, it's entertaining, but it's too short. I think given the time she could definitely do a 90 minute special that shows off more of her music.
I didn't know many of the guest stars that appeared other than Shania Twain, and very surprisingly, Sean Astin who was a great Santa Clause. It's a simple Christmas special. Sabrina knows what she wants and she delivers it with some quirk. It finishes spectacularly with her great song "A Nonsense Christmas" where she still keeps it family friendly.
It's honestly a blast of a special. I'll say that honestly as someone who doesn't listen to her songs, but she knows her audience and she knows who's watching and that's what makes it great. Oh, and you learn everything you need to know about her in fifty minutes.... She just wants to be stuffed.
