The chart-topper ‘Please Please Please’ sings ‘ho, ho, ho’ in the trailer before teasing her duets with Chappell Roan, Tyla and Shania Twain for the Christmas special.

The trailer, set to Carpenter’s sensual song “A Nonsense Christmas,” opens with the “Taste” singer warming up viewers by saying, “Christmas is coming early this year — I wouldn’t count on a quiet night.”

Among the other artists or people who perform for skits is singer Kali Uchis, Abbott Elementary star Quinta Brunson, model Cara Delevingne, Saturday evening live alum Kyle Mooney, Book smart actor Nico Hiraga, Hacking actress Megan Stalter, Eleven the musical star Sean Astin, Theater camp actor Owen Thiele and I’m completely fine star Jillian Bell.

Sam Wrench, who directed the film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film, of which he was the director A nonsense Christmas.

The guest announcement did not specify which songs the singers will sing, but did include the logline A nonsense Christmas confirmed that the special will feature performances of “songs from Carpenter’s holiday EP fruitcake and other iconic, chart-topping holiday covers.”

Carpenter memorably performed covers of songs by two of her guests: Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” for BBC Radio 1‘s Live Lounge series and Twain’s “That Don’t Impress Me Much” during her tour stop on September 25.

Twain told it E! News in September, Carpenter’s cover was “a huge compliment”, adding: “(Carpenter is) such a talented person! She’s smart.”
