Let’s be honest, in recent years Christmas TV hasn’t been all that. Between copious Carry On repeats, Z-list celebrity specials, and the gazillionth showing of The Grinch, there isn’t much to really look forward to. But this year it all changes, thanks to Sofia Coppola and the big man himself, Bill Murray.

A Very Murray Christmas, a Sofia Coppola directed Netflix special sees Murray prepping for a live Christmas presentation when a New York City blizzard changes plans. Together with a mega cast of George Clooney, Chris Rock, Paul Schaffer, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler, Miley Cyrus, Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera, and others, Murray keeps the festivities alive in his own imitable style.

Not happy about having to wait until December for this killer gift? Here are some pretty amazing mythical Murray stories to keep you content until then. All we want for Christmas is Bill.

A Very Murray Christmas debuts on the streaming service on December 4
