Thinking outside the fake-news (gift)box last night, Stephen Colbert premiered A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All. John Legend sang about his love of nutmeg, while Jon Stewart took the opportunity to teach Stephen about Hanukkah with his own serenade. Other guests included Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, and Feist.
Get Flash to see this player.
If you missed the union of two of my favorite things in the world — the holiday season and Stephen Colbert — you can buy the DVD or download it on iTunes tomorrow. The soundtrack, sure to join Bing Crosby and Mariah Carey on the list of classic holiday albums, will also go on sale. A portion of the proceeds go to Feeding America. Did you catch Stephen's holiday special?

1OMG the John Legend 'nutmeg' bit had my fiance and I laughing so hard I was in tears. This special was quite possibly the greatest thing ever.
2best part was when he was making out with the bear.

3I just don't know which part was best: the customer service angel, the try chanukah duet, the ode to nutmeg, bringing weed to the Baby Jesus... It was all so beautiful!
4Am I the only one that swooned during John Legend's song?
5I can't wait to see this special.
6You are going to LOVE it.
7John Legend made a silly song sound soooo good!
8How the heck did he get a Park Service uniform? And a real looking badge? Hmm

10I missed it (and my fave Elvis Costello), but that ranger costume is great!
11Can't believe I missed it, grrrrr.
12Omg, I just watched the nutmeg clip.

And you can get it on dvd! (From the website: '"A Colbert Christmas" DVD is fun for the whole family once you get past the goat sodomy.')
