10 Craziest Christmas Moments In TV History

9. A Very Murray Christmas - Billy Sleigh Cyrus

Bill Murray's career has taken some unusual turns. His fans, of which I am one, love him for it. He has that particular quality of being both an engima and a goofball and his body of work reflects this. Yet I would applaud you from the snowy rooftops if you'd managed to guess that one day, despite his passion for eclectic projects, he'd wind up hosting a TV Christmas special.

A Very Murray Christmas is the surprise gift from Netflix this holiday. Showcasing the versatile star in a vehicle which traps him in a New York hotel during a blizzard, it aims to get the audience in the festive mood with a parade of classic carols and tunes. Being directed by the "hey what now?" choice of Sofia Coppola only sweetened the deal for an array of A Listers and famous types.

George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph... this celebration didn't skimp on the quality. The craziest moment out of the whole 56 minutes? Look above to see the sight of Murray carrying none other than Miley Cyrus. From Wrecking Ball to Curveball...
