Community Regional Holiday Music

Season 3 Episode “Regional Holiday Music”

When the entire Greendale glee club are unable to perform for an upcoming Christmas show (due to death), the study group is looked onto by Taran Killam’s glee club leader/instructor as the saving grace of this terrible situation. Naturally no one in the group wants to sing stupid songs and dance around like fools – that’s so 2009.

One by one, though, they are infected with the virus of music and turn from grouchy too-cool-for-school types into Glee-friendly personas, singing songs and being a friendly, happy bunch. The show twists the knife into what drives Glee’s characters by providing darker, more sinister intentions for the happier, sweeter-personaed among the Greendale community.
