Mr. Hankey hosts a traditional Christmas special, featuring holiday musical numbers performed by various members of the cast. Songs include Kyle's family singing The Driedel Song, Satan singing Christmas In Hell, and Mr. Garrison singing a song ordering all religions of the world to come together in worshiping Jesus for Christmas. This episode was also a tribute to cast member Mary Kay Bergman, who had died earlier that year. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
This episode is basically the South park characters singing Christmas songs.Mostly their covers of classic Christmas songs but some are original.It's a simple episode, and it works.Trey Parker and Matt Stone have great musical talent and they have proved it various times. This is one of those times. They can make an episode like this and get away with it.Not that this episode is without it's laughs as well! Mr.Hankey gives us some great songs sung by the south park characters.The first song is Kyle singing his version of the Dreidel Song with Stan,Kyle's Mom and Dad and Cartman(who sings an anti-semetic song over the others). The second song is Hitler in hell singing "O Tannenbaum"(Oh Christmas) in a sad tone.In an attempt to cheer him up, Satan sings "Christmas Time In Hell" along with all the other characters in hell.The third song is Mr.Mackey singing "Carol of The Bells".The fourth song is Mr.Garrison singing an original song entitled "Merry F***ing Christmas" where he sings about going to countries where they don't celebrate Christmas and telling them angrily about how they should celebrate.The fifth song is basically a Christmas Melody with Jesus and Santa, they sing a variety of songs in a lounge(some I can remember are "Let It Snow" and "Rio" by Duran Duran).Two other songs I forgot to mention were where Cartman sings O holy night(at least his version) and Shelly singing I saw three ships while Stan and Kyle make faces at her.The final song is the entire cast singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", during this song all the characters Mary Kay Bergman played appear(Bergman committed suicide a few weeks before and this is their homage to her), great scene.Overall this is a very good Christmas episode even though it's different from the usual episodes! There was a CD released along with this episode which had much more songs!
