It has revived James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke for a one-off Christmas special featuring queens of pop Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan and Lady Gaga. In A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, the Gavin and Stacey actor, 46, hands his duties over to broadcaster Zane Lowe, 51, who takes the popstars for a spin.

The former Radio 1 star goes for a drive in Chappell’s hometown in Missouri with her parents and heads to Japan to catch up with Dua, 29, while he hits the roads in LA with Lady Gaga, 38. The hitmakers each sing a variety of Christmas classics – including Wham’s Last Christmas and Santa Claus is Coming To Town by J Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie – as well as their own bangers.
On X, fans declared Christmas had come early after Apple TV unexpectedly dropped A Carpool Karaoke Christmas without warning a year after The Late Late Show ended. They were also left in tears when Chappell’s parents Kara and Dwight spoke movingly about the impact their daughter’s music had on the LGBTQ+ community.
@xselene_ stated: ‘Literally cried when Chappell’s parents talked about how proud they are of her and what she stands for about respect for all people and loving everybody #ACarpoolKaraokeChristmas.’. Echoing their sentiment, @withlovejohana said: ‘Chappell’s mom talking about how proud she is of her and her dad crying as she says all this. I cannot #acarpoolkaraokechristmas.’.
