Apple TV+ and Apple Music on Sunday night released a surprise holiday edition of Carpool Karaoke: The Series.
A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, which was released at 9 p.m. PT/midnight ET, features Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa and Chappell Roan hitting the road (in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Springfield, Missouri) and singing a mix of holiday songs and their own hits. Apple Music’s Zane Lowe takes over the driver’s seat from Carpool Karaoke creator and executive producer James Corden.
In addition, Gaga and Lowe debut a bonus version of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,” which also dropped simultaneously with the special on Apple Music and all major platforms.
“I’m delighted Carpool Karaoke is back to celebrate the holidays in true style,” Corden said. “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.”
Gaga, Lipa and Roan sing along to Christmas classics, including “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and Wham’s “Last Christmas,” along with their own signature songs, such as Gaga’s “Die With a Smile,” Lipa’s “Houdini” and Roan’s Good Luck, Babe!”
“This was hands-down the most fun I have ever had in a car,” Lowe said. “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 now streaming in select territories and rolls out globally Dec. 20 on Apple TV+.
