Win "A Colbert Christmas" on DVD

Move over Rudolph.

Tonight on Comedy Central a new kind of Christmas special hits the airwaves. Yes, there’s a baby Jesus, eggnog, and all the Christmas trimmings you think of for the holiday.

But this one also has Willie Nelson as a pot-giving Wise Man, Toby Keith giving folks a “special” Christmas present that involves more firepower than found at your local Army base, and John Legend singing about nutmeg in a way that I promise you will have you rolling with laughter.

A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All is a one-hour musical holiday special. The guest list also includes Elvis Costello and Feist.

The plot has Colbert on his way to New York to perform with Costello when Colbert gets trapped in a snowstorm in a cabin.

I’m not sure this will become a classic holiday favorite like Frosty, but it sure is a fun way to spend an evening, for those with adult tastes for humor and a love for Colbert, Stewart, and Christmas.

Here’s a look at the song list to give you an idea of what you’re in for:


“Another Christmas Song" – Stephen Colbert
"Have I Got A Present For You" – Toby Keith
"The Little Dealer Boy" – Stephen Colbert and Willie Nelson
"Can I Interest You In Hannukah?" – Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart
"Nutmeg" – Stephen Colbert and John Legend
"Please Be Patient" – Feist
"There Are Much Worse Things To Believe In" – Stephen Colbert and Elvis Costello
"(What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love And Understanding" – Stephen Colbert, Elvis Costello, Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend and Willie Nelson

The show begins at 10 p.m. ET tonight.
