A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter

I am a bit of an old soul and never get into new musical artists but I was impressed with the strong talent and lovely voice Sabrina has. She outshines all her guest performers by miles and shows how some of them can't sing a basic song. But Sabrina's wit, charisma, humour and smile is contagious. It should get viewers smiling and easily into a nonsense mood for the holidays. Also kudos to her for taking on this special as there could be fears it would bomb. My only suggestion would have been to include a story to make it more fun for viewers to follow along and have a final song session with all the musical acts. Overall harmless and fun treat.

Ok, for all the Scrooges giving this a bad review, what exactly were you expecting? An Emmy?? It's a Christmas special. It was 100 percent what you would want and expect. Great cameos, cheesy skits, and shameless puns. The songs were a blast, and full of the innuendos one would expect from Sabrina. Time to lighten up a bit , and enjoy the ride! This is a Christmas special I could see me watching each year. I would love to see other artists have a truly good time without worrying if it looks perfect. The bloopers at the end were a lot of fun too. Bravo to the producers and crew who brought this together!

Opinion on A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter (8/10):

I thoroughly enjoyed A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter. The special captures the essence of the holiday spirit with a perfect mix of music, humor, and a cozy, light-hearted atmosphere. Sabrina's energy is infectious, and her musical performances shine, especially with her catchy original songs like A Nonsense Christmas. The integration of Christmas classics, along with her unique spin, brings a fresh twist to the festive season.

However, while the humor and musical numbers were engaging, some of the sketches felt a bit over-the-top, which could have been toned down to create a more balanced flow. I also felt that the guest appearances could have been expanded, as they added a fun dynamic but were a bit brief.

All in all, A Nonsense Christmas delivers a joyful, quirky experience that fans of Sabrina will appreciate, even if it's not a perfect masterpiece. It's a solid holiday special worth watching for its warmth, charm, and catchy tunes.

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 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..
