There are a quite a few Community Christmas specials to choose from and, although Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas is the fan favourite, I think that the Regional Holiday Music episode is painfully underrated. With brilliant songs, a hilarious guest appearance from Taran Killam as a psychotic glee teacher, and a nod to Doctor Who Christmas specials, it has to be said that this one has it all.

The plot: After a horrific bus crash, Killam's glee club are all dead or hospitalised, leaving Greendale without a glee club just days away from regionals! Although the gang want nothing to do with it initially, one by one they all get brainwashed by Killam's infectious songs as they prepare for their big show stopper at the Greendale Christmas ball.

Why it's awesome: We get a pre-Childish Gambino performance from Donald Glover as he raps the incredible song Christmas Infiltration along with Abed. There's a genius parody of Santa Baby when Alison Brie dresses up as a sexy Santa to sing Teach Me How To Understand Christmas. And, after this episode, you won't stop talking about getting to regionals!

I see my role at WhatCulture the same way my wife sees my role as a lover: I contribute in a very small way, my presence is barely noticeable and I’m not entirely sure if the laughter is at me or with me.
