Olivia Rodrigo Has Dropped Her First-Ever Christmas Song — And The Music Video Is Star-Studded

We are well and truly sleighing into the festive season now, because Olivia Rodrigo has only gone and released her first-ever Christmas song.

The track, titled “Take Me Home (4 Christmas)”, arrives with a suitably star-studded music video — because if you’re going to make your yuletide debut, you may as well do it with a full ensemble cast and maximum cosiness.

For an artist whose discography skews towards tearful car cries and cathartic bridge scream-alongs, the idea of Olivia doing Christmas is deliciously unexpected. Will there be jingle bells? A mournful violin? A sudden key change that reduces us all to mulled-wine-scented tears? The possibilities are genuinely endless.

Christmas music is a competitive sport, and plenty of pop’s biggest names have tried — and spectacularly failed — to plant their flag in Mariah’s snow-covered territory. But if anyone’s got the melodic chops and the Gen Z goodwill to make it stick, it’s Liv.

Consider this your official permission slip to start playing festive music a full eight weeks before Christmas. Blame Olivia. She started it.
