On 2 November 2026, US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo announced her first original Christmas song, "Take Me Home (4 Christmas)". It was the first time the singer-songwriter had put out a holiday single.
She said the song would be released on Thursday 5 November at 5 p.m. Pacific time, which was Friday 6 November in the UK. It was released through Interscope Records. Rodrigo co-wrote it with Dan Nigro and Amy Allen, and Nigro produced it. Nigro and Allen had both worked with her on earlier releases.
Alongside the announcement, Rodrigo shared a preview of the music video. It featured actress Cynthia Nixon, known for Sex and the City, and Ben Marshall, a cast member of the comedy show Saturday Night Live. In one teaser clip, the group guesses who they are from labels on festive paper crowns, and each label spells out the singer's name.
The release mattered because it put a major pop star into the seasonal market. In the UK, music trade outlets noted that a new song could compete for the Christmas number one.
