I never would have pegged FX’s delightfully bleak comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as a candidate for a direct-to-DVD Christmas special. After all, this is the show that’s had its cast alter a dumpster baby’s skin color in order to break into show business, try to figure out which side of the abortion debate is most likely to get you laid, and sleep with each other’s mothers out of spite. Then again, suicide rates do spike during the holidays, so maybe this makes perfect sense after all.

This November 17th, Fox Home Entertainment is bringing you It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia -- A Very Sunny Christmas, exclusively on DVD and Blu-ray -- $26.98 for the former and $29.98 for the latter. Here’s what Fox has to say about the yuletide adventures of the gang from Paddy’s Pub:

Ho, ho, heyooo! Christmas is upon us and the Paddy's gang has got the spirit. Well, not really. For them, the holidays have always been a time of trickery, backstabbing, and disappointment. But this year things are going to be different as they are determined to rediscover the joy in Christmas. Join Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee, and Frank as they embark on a holiday adventure filled with stolen toys, childhood videos, naked elves, and a bloody run in with Santa Claus that is guaranteed to blast Christmas spirit all over you!
