Olivia Rodrigo is gearing up to release her first-ever holiday song by previewing the tune’s playful video. On Monday (Nov. 2), the singer dropped a 40-second teaser for the visual that will accompany “Take Me Home (4 Christmas),” in which Saturday Night Live cast member Ben Marshall and Sex and the City‘s Cynthia Nixon play a spirited game of Heads Up as they try to suss out the clues.
“Is it a human? Okay, am I an animal,” Marshall asks as his headband reveals the singer’s name. “Kind of? Am I smaller than a breadbox?” he wonders as the rest of the players assure him that the subject is bigger than that. “Am I living?” Nixon wonders. “Am I a president?” she probes to laughs as the crew confirm that the person is in the arts.
The homey vibe of the clip, which also features a shot of a roaring fire, holiday sweaters, a glimpse of a Christmas tree and Rodrigo’s stocking hung with care above on the mantle does not provide any audio from the song.
“Take Me Home (4 Christmas),” will drop at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday (Nov. 5) after Rodrigo premiered the single’s artwork earlier on Monday, featuring a photo of her sitting on the floor in a red Santa hat and matching lipstick while rocking a candy cane-themed top, black leather motorcycle jacket and polka dot skirt.
The song will be the first new music from Rodrigo since the release of her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, in June; so far, the album has spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
