2. A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter (premieres on December 6, 2024)
Premiering on December 6, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter boasts special guests, top hits, and of course, a healthy amount of innuendo. Perhaps this isn’t the special you will want to watch with your family, but it will likely be well worth the watch for older fans. Carpenter has had a powerful year and this Netflix special is the cherry on top.
Lemme come warm you up, you been out in the snow
Baby, my tongue goes numb, sounds like “ho-ho-ho”
I don’t want Santa’s elves underneath this ol’ tree
Here’s a lil’ carol I wrote, it’s about you and me
3. Josh Groban & Friends Go Home for the Holidays (premieres on December 20, 2024)
Josh Groban has tapped the likes of James Bay, Jennifer Hudson, Tori Kelly and The War and Treaty for his Christmas special, which premieres on December 20. “I can’t wait for everyone to watch with their families, sing along and hopefully make room in their hearts and homes for a child who needs one,” Groban recently said of the special. Judging by the Christmas songs Groban has already released, we can see this special being an instant classic.
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
‘Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
