One of the biggest compliments fans and critics give to Ted Lasso is that it’s a comedy series that brought “kind” back. In the age of sarcasm and shows about people trying to one-up each other, the Apple TV+ comedy stands out for, among other things, sending a message of being nice to each other. The series follows a former American football coach who is hired to manage a British soccer team, even though he has no experience doing it.

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s more than appropriate for the cast of the beloved show to bring a message about the holiday that is all about being kind. Ted Lasso: The Missing Christmas Mustache is a stop-motion comedy short that features the voices of the main cast of Ted Lasso. The special is available at Apple TV+, and tells a magical and unexpected story: one of Ted’s (Jason Sudeikis) trademarks, his bulging mustache, suddenly goes missing, and Ted starts thinking that Christmas is ruined. What can he do to save the celebration now?

Ted Lasso: The Missing Christmas Mustache spreads a quick message, but, of course, doesn’t forget to be funny, including some of the characters' trademark quips, a little bit of nonsense comedy, and the obligatory reference to Tom Selleck. Aside from Sudeikis, the voice cast also features Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Nick Mohammed, and Juno Temple.

The series also made the American Film Institute's list of Best TV Shows of 2021, and Season 3 has already been ordered by Apple.
