Heads Up! Olivia Rodrigo Drops Playful Preview of ‘Take Me Home (4 Christmas)’ Video Starring Cynthia Nixon and SNL’s Ben Marshall

The singer's first-ever holiday release is due out at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday (Nov. 5).

Olivia Rodrigo is preparing to unveil the visual concept for her inaugural Christmas song, "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)." On November 2nd, the artist unveiled a 40-second preview of the clip, which will accompany the festive track. The teaser features a lively game of Heads Up between SNL alum Ben Marshall and Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon. Marshall, donning a headband, attempts to guess the identity of the person Rodrigo is portraying.

Marshall poses questions like, "Is it a human?" and "Am I an animal?" when the camera reveals Rodrigo's name. Nixon, in turn, asks, "Am I living?" and "Am I a president?" after being informed Rodrigo's character is part of the arts. The playful video, set in a cozy home environment with a fireplace, holiday sweaters, a glimpse of a Christmas tree, and Rodrigo's stocking hung above a mantle, does not include any audio from the song.

The Christmas track, "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)," will be released on November 5th at 8 p.m. ET, following the premiere of its artwork. Rodrigo shared a photo of herself in a red Santa hat and a candy cane-themed top on Monday, accompanied by matching leather jacket and polka dot skirt. The song marks Rodrigo's first new music 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 held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for three weeks.
