Ana Gasteyer And Rachel Dratch Turn Weird Stock Photos Into Magical Holiday Movies

Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch are Christmas movie connoisseurs. After a lifetime of Lifetime and Hallmark holiday films, the former Saturday Night Live stars have taken the well-trod tropes of the genre and “re-gifted” them to the world as A Clüsterfünke Christmas, a brand-new parody they co-wrote for Comedy Central. A loving ode to the yuletide season, A Clüsterfünke Christmas gleefully ushers in many of the well-known beats of the made-for-TV milieu. There’s the Type-A working stiff (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Vella Lovell) who has no room in their schedule for the holiday spirit, the hunky small-town man (30 Rock’s Cheyenne Jackson) who lives and breathes Christmas, and the convoluted plot that just might bring these two polar opposites together, which revolves around the titular Clüsterfünke Inn, run by two spinster sisters (Gasteyer and Dratch) high on their own peppermint supply. Ahead of the film’s December 4 premiere, we brought Gasteyer and Dratch together for a special “Holiday Edition” of Stock Photo Cinema, a game in which we challenge some of our favorite stars to come up with the stories behind the weirdest stock photos on the internet. This time around, the duo brought a little holiday magic (and quite a few holiday movie tropes) to a series of festive—but no less strange—images. #AnaGasteyer #RachelDratch #AClusterfunkeChristmas Visit: http://avclub.com Like: http://www.fb.com/theavclub Follow:   / theavclub
