The premise

Here’s the bit.

Chloe Fineman plays Jennifer Coolidge in a pretaped short that breaks into title-card segments, each devoted to one piece of Christmas. Lounging in a sparkling gold gown, her breathy, wide-eyed Coolidge marvels at a stuffed stocking, a tangle of blinking lights, a pianist playing carols, a glass of eggnog poured by a bartender, a menorah and a wrapped present, turning each discovery into an oddly personal or inappropriate aside before wishing everyone a merry Christmas.

The funny people

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Oh, look at this! A big sock full of gifts. You know, the ultimate stocking stuffer is a foot.

You know, one year I got the blinking ones. I left my Christmas tree on all night and learned my cat was epileptic.

Sounds like an antique doll with one eye.

Behind the scenes
