The National have swung by Bob's Burgers to deliver a festive message in the form of new track "Christmas Magic". It's magical, but angst-filled. It's less 'celebrating with friends and family', more 'soaked in whiskey, passed out by midday'.
Still, it's actually a quite beautiful little Yuletide treat, and sees Matt Berninger donning an elf costume, with the rest of The National dressed in similarly merry garments.
It's the third time they've contributed a new song to the animated show, following two Thanksgiving-themed ditties.
Head here to listen to "Christmas Magic".
