 O Christmas Troy!!!
 |
| — Abed Nadir |
O Christmas Troy is a song sung in the End-Tag of "Comparative Religion" (Series 1 episode 12), a parody of the German traditional folk song "O Tannenbaum" (O Christmas Tree). During the Study Group's first Christmas at Greendale, Abed decorates Troy as a living "Christmas Tree", transferring decorative trinkets from the study room's Christmas tree onto Troy. Initially sung solely by Abed, Jeff joins in, before Tory accompanies for the final 3 lines of the carol.
Although commonly recognised as "Oh Christmas Troy", due to its derivation from "O Christmas Tree" it is far more likely to be read as "O Christmas Troy".

Trivia[]
Homage[]
| The scene where Troy is made up as a Christmas tree is likely inspired by a similar moment in the 1988 Bill Murray movie "Scrooged". In the film an autistic child is also similarly decorated as a Christmas tree by his siblings.
