"A Very Murray Christmas" is the best of both worlds, reinventing as well as paying homage to the bygone era of holiday variety specials. Bill Murray (playing himself) is disappointed when a blizzard shuts down New York, canceling his live Christmas show from the famous Carlyle Hotel. To battle his holiday blues, Murray decides that the show must go on, enlisting friends and strangers alike at the hotel to help celebrate the spirit of the season.A flurry of celebrity cameos follows, including a surprisingly restrained and soulful performance from erstwhile troublemaker Miley Cyrus. The music is a refreshing blend of yuletide standards as well as unique covers that don't scream Christmas but still fit the wintry mood. Is this salvaged production all in Bill's mind? Does it matter? Just let his trademark quirky charm work its magic and wish you a heartfelt "Murray Christmas."
