Merry Christmas From Funny Or Die is a 30-minute comedy special that brings together some of the biggest names in Hollywood to celebrate the holiday season in their own unique way. Hosted by legendary comedian Will Ferrell and featuring guest appearances from Ryan Gosling, Christina Applegate, and others, this hilarious show is a must-watch for anyone looking to inject some laughter into their Christmas festivities.

The special opens with Ferrell welcoming viewers to the show and introducing the first sketch, which features Gosling and Applegate as an awkward couple attempting to navigate their first Christmas together. As the sketch unfolds, it becomes clear that the two are vastly incompatible, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mishaps that will have audiences in stitches.

Next up is a sketch featuring Ferrell and Gosling, who play two clueless dads trying to assemble their children's Christmas gifts without any instructions. Naturally, chaos ensues as the two struggle to figure out how to put together a trampoline, a dollhouse, and a remote-controlled car, leading to several hilarious sight gags and one-liners.

One of the standout segments of the show is a musical number featuring Ferrell, Gosling, and a group of backup singers dressed as Christmas trees. The catchy tune, titled "Deck the Halls With Boughs of Jolly," is a hilarious send-up of traditional Christmas carols, with lyrics like "Deck the halls with boughs of jolly / Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-LOL-y" that will have viewers singing and laughing along.

Another highlight of the show is a sketch featuring Applegate as a harried mom trying to decorate her house for the holidays while dealing with a variety of unexpected setbacks, including a runaway Christmas tree and a group of carolers who refuse to leave. Applegate's comedic timing and physical comedy skills are on full display here, as she navigates each new challenge with aplomb.

The special also includes a mock infomercial for a product called the "Christmas Miracle Machine," which promises to turn even the most mundane holiday tasks into joyous experiences. Of course, things don't go quite as planned, leading to a series of absurd and hilarious jokes that poke fun at the commercialization of Christmas.

Throughout the show, Ferrell serves as a hilarious and highly entertaining host, providing witty commentary and keeping the energy high. He also participates in several sketches, including one in which he plays a mall Santa who has clearly had enough of children sitting on his lap.

Overall, Merry Christmas From Funny Or Die is a delightful and side-splittingly funny special that is sure to become a holiday favorite for years to come. With its all-star cast, clever writing, and playful spirit, it is a perfect antidote to the stress and chaos that can sometimes come with the holiday season. Whether you're a fan of traditional Christmas specials or just looking for a good laugh, this show is not to be missed.
