It’s holiday season at YouTube, and inside one of the many sound stages at the video platform’s Los Angeles campus in Playa Vista, three creators have come together to promote beauty products on a set reminiscent of a cozy cabin in the woods.

Branded as “From YouTube to You,” YouTube’s holiday shopping extravaganza was a year-end culmination of the company’s growing expansion into live shopping, a format that has taken off in international markets like the Asia-Pacific region, where the ecommerce industry is expected to hit 3.5 trillion this year.

On Tuesday, the fast growing music distributor, publisher and marketer announced a beta program for Create Carbon, a credit card directly tied to its artists’ royalty revenue so that musicians can spend their earnings as soon as they get them. Cmg has rolled out the beta for 100 of its artists and hopes to bring further waves of clients onto the program in the coming months.
