28 Takeaways and Moments from The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show

The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show is live now on Amazon Prime, and I’m here for it.

I’m not sure that I can tell you how excited I was for this without sounding like a crazy person that either can’t get enough of Kacey Musgraves or Christmas specials or both. So I’ll just tell you that I’ve already watched it twice, have downloaded the album, and I’m not done with it yet.

I also have a list of 28 thoughts that flowed through me as I watched to go with 16 screenshot images I’ve put in this post.

If you have Amazon Prime, I highly recommend you watch The Kacey Musgraves Christmas show.

And if you don’t have Amazon Prime, I highly recommend that you find a friend that does and make some sort of deal so you can watch The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show.

Now, here are my 28 Takeaways and Moments. Leave a comment with your favourites.

🎄 Getting to the music right away with James Corden and Kacey singing Let It Snow is a great start.

🎁 Yay to jokes and laughs and this being fun for more than just the music within the first two minutes.

🎉 I like the old school behind-the-scenes production room scenes. I don’t know why, I just like them.

🎀 This Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas number is wonderful. Kacey sound great. That red dress with the bow is lovely. The cut away to the people watching on the old TV is a nice touch too.

🎄 DAN!!! Dan Levy is a star and I love him and his sarcasm and elf costume go great together.

🎁 Shoutout to Kacey Musgraves for including her band as more than just the guys that play the music while she sings. Speaking lines and jokes and non-musical screen time is a treat.

🎉 Leon Bridges at the door and he doesn’t care that Kacey’s not ready for Christmas yet because he’s “just here to sing a song,” and that sounds good to me. Present Without A Bow sounds pretty with the combination of their voices together. It’s a duet I never would have thought of myself, but I’m glad that someone else did.

🎀 Okay, so no cute scene introducing Camila Cabello, but here she is singing Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree with Kacey and it is fun. Both of these dynamite women are crushing it in Christmas red. The dancers are on fire and I’m in!

🎄 More production room and I love that they used it to set up Fred Armisen. Well done. Smart.

🎁 Hipster favourite Fred Armisen is in the library with a leather bound book of Christmas carols. What more could you ask for in a scene?

🎉 There’s a reason this gets listed as (Not So) Silent Night on the tracklist.

🎀 More laughs and Armisen is the perfect guest to make it work. The SNL vibes are strong and I like it a lot.

🎄 Note related to nothing – I really do love Kacey Musgraves.

🎁 Sad songs for Christmas are not generally my jam, but I get it and Kacey’s performance of Christmas Make Me Cry with her guitar and the unseen band supporting with strings in the back is very pretty… in a sad way.

🎉 Dan in the bathroom. Great job with the towel and robe. More jokes. More cliches. More sarcastic wit. Give me all of it!

🎀 The way they used Kendall Jenner is perfect! No singing, no taking chances, just a fun/funny play on the Love, Actually cue cards and some Kardashian/Jenner family jokes. Good job!

🎄 This Dan and Kacey scene (and all of them really) is a lot of fun too. Yay for fun and funny!

🎁 Mele Kalikimaka, is traditional (in that we all know it) but not traditional because it’s not an old standard, follow me? Either way, here it is and I like it.

🎉 Oh hai Zooey Deschanel!

🎀 PUPPY!!!!!!

🎄 Kacey Musgraves and Troye Sivan are pretty and perfect and shiny together and I really like this duet on Glittery. People are going to hear this one a bunch, I can feel it.

🎁 Lana Del Rey’s voice is smooth and sweet and hearing her start singing I’ll Be Home For Christmas is a reminder of why she’s so great.

🎉 Kacey and Lana together is wonderfully chill and makes me want to light a fire and sit in a comfy chair.

🎀 NANA!

🎄 Bye Dan, you’re the best!

🎁 Final number time!

🎉 Ribbons And Bows to close things out with Kacey in her holiday disco glory is fun (have I mentioned that this thing is fun?). There are bubbles and the Rockettes and more dancers and all of the rooms and colours and extravagance and Nana and more.

🎀 Final Thoughts: Holy cow this made me happy and I will watch this many more times before Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Kacey!

And if you want to sit back and listen to Kacey Musgraves and friends sing some Christmas music (and tell some jokes), hit play on The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show album now. Enjoy!
