Olivia Rodrigo is embracing the holiday season with the release of her first-ever Christmas song, “Take Me Home (4 Christmas),” which arrived accompanied by an official music video featuring actress Cynthia Nixon and comedian Ben Marshall. The upbeat seasonal track marks a new addition to the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s catalog and offers a playful take on holiday romance.
Co-written by Rodrigo, Dan Nigro and Amy Allen, the original song was produced by Nigro, her longtime musical collaborator. Its lyrics revolve around wanting a romantic partner to bring her home for Christmas, introducing her to his parents and demonstrating a commitment that extends beyond the holiday season.
The accompanying video for Take Me Home (4 Christmas) brings the song’s storyline to life, with Marshall portraying Rodrigo’s boyfriend and Nixon appearing as his mother. The visual opens with Rodrigo dealing with the aftermath of a holiday party before following her as she spends time with her boyfriend’s family.
Alongside the digital release, Rodrigo is making the single available in exclusive seven-inch vinyl and cassette editions. A broader holiday collection featuring limited-edition gifts, collectibles, decorations and accessories is also available through her official online store.
The release follows a busy year for Rodrigo, who issued her third studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” in June before teaming up with Chappell Roan for a remix of “Expectations” in October. She is also currently traveling across North America on her Unraveled Tour.
