Watch The National Make Melancholy “Christmas Magic” For Bob’s Burgers

I have a hard time thinking of a band that makes me sadder than the National, which means that I can’t think of a band less equipped to write a Christmas jingle. Bob’s Burgers has hosted the band several times in the past, featuring them on two Thanksgiving specials singing dour songs about turkey murder and gravy boats. There is something deeply humorous about watching an animated Matt Beringer sing the moody “Christmas Magic” while hanging from a Christmas tree dressed like an elf.
