Sabrina Carpenter is following in the footsteps of a long line of celebrities who came before her by headlining her own holiday special; only this one will be every Sapphic’s fantasy.
Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for the pop star’s upcoming holiday special, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, and released a list of guest stars, and it’s full of queer ladies you love!
While Sabrina will be hosting and headlining the special, she’ll also have comedic cameos, dancers, and duets with fellow singers.
People like Shania Twain, Tyler, and Quinta Brunson are on the list of stars joining Carpenter’s special, but who we’re really looking forward to seeing are the queer women.
Queer diva Chappell Roan, bisexual singer-songwriter Kali Uchis, queer actress Cara Delevingne, and bi comedian Megan Stalter are all joining in on the fruity — or fruitcake-y — holiday fun and we couldn’t be more excited!
The teaser shows Carpenter in outfits ranging from Santa-themed sequins to a Marilyn Monroe-inspired pink gown, singing a duet with Roan and joking around with Brunson.
In a moment that gives us an idea of just how delightfully queer this Christmas special is set to be, the “Espresso” singer is also shown looking at two garment bags on a clothing rack, one labeled “For the Girls” and the second one labeled “For the Gays” — we see you, Sabrina.
A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter premieres on Netflix on December 6, 2024, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Qween Jean made history at the 2026 Tony Awards as the first openly transgender person to win a Tony Award, taking home Best Costume Design of a Musical for her work on Cats: The Jellicle Ball. The political activist and designer was also nominated in the Best Costume Design of a Play category for Liberation. She took home her award before the night's festivities and delivered an impassioned speech on stage.
"This experience has been monumental. We are here for the legacy of queer people, trans people," she said. "We are taking up space in ways we have to take up space. We have to shift the paradigm. So I just want to say, thank you all so much for this incredible honor. The world right now is deeply, deeply combating so many ailments, and we know as a society that when we come together, we can make real, permanent change."
