Fruitcake is the second extended play (EP) and first Christmas themed record by American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released by Island Records on November 17, 2023. [1] It was produced by Julian Bunetta and John Ryan.
In December 2022, Carpenter released a Christmas remix version of her single " Nonsense", titled "A Nonsense Christmas". [2]
A year later, on November 8, 2023, Carpenter announced her first Christmas-themed EP, [3] and revealed its track list through a post on her social media accounts. [4] [5] The EP would contain "A Nonsense Christmas" alongside various new songs and a cover of Irving Berlin's traditional holiday song, " White Christmas". [6] On her website, the announcement followed the same aesthetic of her album Emails I Can't Send (2022), being presented in a designed email-style. [6]
Upon release, the EP was well received by critics. Alex Hopper of American Songwriter complimented Carpenter for not relying exclusively on traditional Christmas songs and for writing original material. [7] Amy Britton of The Indiependent wrote that the record is "a sugary sweet musical feast" and that, although it was full of the "usual Christmas song stereotypes", it kept the artist's essence. [8]
