- Project Brief: Create a Christmas music video for Olivia Rodrigo that brings the song’s themes of romance and commitment to life through festive production design, warm lighting, engaging performances, and narrative-driven editing.
A video with amazing background music can turn a holiday single into a short film, and this one plays like a lost ’90s Christmas movie. Take Me Home (4 Christmas) follows a young singer bringing her new boyfriend home to meet her loud, loving family.
The story moves from a dim bar to a crowded family house, and that switch tracks the song’s shift from a crush to something serious. Olivia Rodrigo plays the girlfriend at the center of it all, alongside Cynthia Nixon and Ben Marshall.
Director Fiona Jane Burgess shoots the house like a family photo album, with mustard yellow walls and floral curtains under warm lamplight. Fair Isle sweaters and paper crowns fill every frame, and a gingerbread house gets its white icing in a slow close-up.
The edit keeps time with the song’s mid-tempo beat, cutting between story moments and Rodrigo singing to the room in a red top and plaid miniskirt. A goofy family photo, with tongues out and eyes crossed, sums up the warm, messy spirit of the whole video.
