From the studio that brought you A CHRISTMAS CAROL …
Evil stalks the shadowy cobblestone streets of Edwardian London …
An evil born many years before, when one old man’s redemption unleashed a dread curse …

Celebrating - no, OBSERVING - the very first time someone made you watch a funny video and then sat there watching you watch it.
It changed drinks out with friends. It changed dinner parties. It changed family get-togethers. It changed holiday meals.

Prancer and Vixen are an unstoppable gay guy/straight girl combo.
Dancer, Prancer’s ex, keeps trying to insinuate himself but the bitch had his chance and be blew it. Maybe he shouldn’t have accepted Blitzen’s invite for Netflix and Schnapps.
