The premise
Here’s the bit.
An advertisement for a fictional Peacock holiday special promises the spirit of an old celebrity duet, then cycles through increasingly unlikely musical pairings. A space-suited Katy Perry joins Bob Dylan; Bruce Springsteen performs with Bad Bunny; and Kate Bush and Yoko Ono turn a carol into an eccentric vocal contest. A Benson Boone impersonator repeatedly crashes through the festive set, interrupting Stevie Wonder and later Cameron Winter. Björk and Post Malone offer another unlikely combination, while Lil Jon is paired with SNL cast member Jane Wickline as herself. The finale presents Céline Dion and Andrea Bocelli delivering an elaborate Italian-style celebration of Hanukkah. The advertisement closes with an impossible December broadcast date.
