These jokes are nearly as funny as Ariana Grande’s performance in the movie.

By now, it’s well agreed upon that Wicked is a critical and commercial hit. The film is the talk of holiday parties, family get-togethers, and friendship hangs all over. Of course, this means that there are thousands (if not millions) of perspectives out there about the film.

Full Cast of Nonsense Christmas Netflix: Sabrina Carpenter Special Guest Stars & Singers (Photos) Christmas 2024 saw Sabrina Carpenter team up with other major pop stars for a unique Netflix holiday special. By Richard Nebens Posted: December 09, 2024 Sabrina Carpenter Nonsense Christmas cast members A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter hit Netflix for the holiday season, complete with a handful of guest stars and guest singers to accompany its leading lady. Along with being the opening act for Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras concert tour, Carpenter has risen to her own level of comparable fame in the music industry. This led to half a dozen nominations for the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. In the midst of that success, she teamed up with Netflix for a pre-recorded 50-minute holiday special, in which she and multiple guest stars embrace the holiday spirit. Putting her own spin on holiday tunes, the special features 13 songs, sung either by Carpenter herself or her as part of a duet. Every Guest Star & Singer in A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Carpenter in A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina Carpenter Leading the way in A Nonsense Christmas is none other than Grammy-award-nominated singer Sabrina Carpenter. The special is largely inspired by her Short n' Sweet music tour, which includes the "Nonsense Outros" for which she has become world-famous. Going through over half a dozen outfit changes, Carpenter lends her vocal talents to nearly a dozen songs in this special. Rather than singing her own hit music, Carpenter belts out a handful of iconic holiday tunes along with a couple she puts her own spin on by switching lyrics around to fit her style. Outside of her singing career, Carpenter's acting work can be seen in Emergency, The Hate U Give, and Girl Meets World.
