Fiona Jane Burgess puts a sardonic twist on the picture perfect Christmas for Olivia Rodrigo's seasonal outing, when nostaligic tradition gives way to a grungier reality.

Rodrigo's Take Me Home 4 Christmas was inspired by post punk outfit The Waitresses's immortal Christmas Wrapping - a song about making the best out of a bad Christmas - and perhaps Burgess's video takes its cue from that. 

It's a holiday romance where Olivia gets to live out the Yuletide perfection she yearns for. Family photos, matching sweaters and charades set the scene for an imagined world of nostalgic tradition. Olivia gets to hang out with Cynthia Nixon, her dream Mom-in-law.

Which then collides with reality. With sharp, self-aware humour and an irreverent edge, the film gives the familiar trappings of Christmas an unexpected yet very resonant twist.
