Sabrina Carpenter's Netflix Christmas special 'A Nonsense Christmas' transports viewers into a retro holiday wonderland with the help of production designer Jason Sherwood's '90s sitcom-inspired sets and old Hollywood glamour.

Sherwood worked closely with Carpenter to create two main sets - a '90s sitcom-style holiday home and a fantasy performance space with a tiered stage and grand staircase, allowing for a seamless transition between the 'real' and 'imaginary' worlds.
Sherwood's favorite moment was Carpenter's duet with pop star Chappell Roan, where they sang a cover of Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' in a 'trashed' version of the holiday home set, capturing the cheeky, playful energy of the special.
