Olivia Rodrigo has officially entered her holiday era. The pop star released her first-ever Christmas song,“Take Me Home (4 Christmas),”on Thursday, Nov. 5, produced by her longtime collaborator Dan Nigro. It arrived with a festive music video that features eye-catching holiday sweaters and a very competitive game of Head’s Up.
The video brings in actress Cynthia Nixon and Ben Marshall, and the joke is that every clue somehow leads to Olivia Rodrigo herself. It’s playful, a little absurd, and completely on brand for her. The track lands right after her“Expectations”remix with Chappell Roan reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, so she’s carrying serious momentum into the season.
The timing also lines up with her Unraveled Tour across the U.S. and Canada, which runs through Dec. 20, making a live holiday moment pretty likely. She’s also part of a busy holiday release week alongside new albums from Alanis Morissette and Sufjan Stevens. So, is“Take Me Home (4 Christmas)”making your seasonal playlist this year?
