Apple TV+ has launched a festive edition of Carpool Karaoke, featuring prominent pop sensations Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, and Chappell Roan. Titled A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, the special showcases the artists as they join Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for a fun-filled karaoke experience in Tokyo, Missouri, and Los Angeles, where they sing beloved holiday classics along with their own popular hits.
A notable highlight of the special is the appearance of James Corden, the original creator of Carpool Karaoke. In his statement, Corden expressed his excitement about the holiday edition: “I’m delighted Carpool Karaoke is back to celebrate the holidays in true style. I’ve entrusted Apple Music’s very own, the brilliant Zane Lowe, to drive our superstars to work and reminded him it’s so important to keep his eyes open while he sings. We can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Zane Lowe echoed this sentiment, saying, “This was hands-down the most fun I have ever had in a car. I’m very grateful to James for trusting me behind the wheel of a very expensive car with three of music’s most exciting artists, and I’m honored to be part of bringing this special A Carpool Karaoke Christmas to fans all over the world.”
The special is currently available for streaming in the U.S. and will be released globally on December 20. Additionally, Lady Gaga and Zane Lowe have released a new rendition of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” exclusively on Apple Music.
Carpool Karaoke originally started as a segment of The Late Late Show with James Corden before transitioning into a standalone variety series in 2017, concluding its fifth season on Apple TV+ in 2023. This holiday special marks a significant reunion, as it is the first time the three stars have come together for the series.
This holiday edition of Carpool Karaoke not only brings a dose of joy and entertainment ahead of the festive season but also illustrates how beloved music can unite fans across the globe. It’s a wonderful reminder of the spirit of collaboration in the music industry and promises to be a memorable experience for viewers everywhere.
