Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo is set to release her first holiday single, Take Me Home (4 Christmas), on Thursday, November 5 at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET). The track marks a festive milestone for the Grammy-winning artist, who has dominated charts and tours in 2026 with her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

A Festive First for Rodrigo

Take Me Home (4 Christmas) is an original song co-written by Rodrigo alongside longtime collaborators Dan Nigro and Amy Allen, with Nigro also handling production. The single arrives with a music video featuring Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon and Saturday Night Live cast member Ben Marshall. Rodrigo shared her excitement on Instagram, calling the track her "first Christmas song" and encouraging fans to pre-order it now.

The release will be available on all streaming platforms, with exclusive physical editions—including a 7-inch vinyl and cassette—available for pre-order on Rodrigo’s official website. The vinyl will also hit Target stores in the U.S. on Friday, November 6, with international releases to follow.

Why This Single Matters

For Rodrigo’s fans, Take Me Home (4 Christmas) is more than just a holiday tune—it’s a gift after a year of career-defining moments. Since June, Rodrigo’s third album has topped charts in 17 countries, spawned a Hot 100 No. 1 hit (Drop Dead), and fueled her sold-out Unraveled Tour, which has sold over 1 million tickets worldwide. In August, she launched Daisy Chain Fields, her own female-fronted festival, raising $20 million for women’s charities like Planned Parenthood.

The holiday single follows October’s surprise remix of expectations featuring Chappell Roan, which soared to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The remix’s music video, starring David Byrne, added to the buzz, proving Rodrigo’s ability to blend nostalgia with fresh creativity.

  • Music video: Stars Cynthia Nixon and Ben Marshall
  • Physical editions: 7-inch vinyl (Target, Nov 6) and cassette (pre-order now)
