YouTuber Anna Akana and Ashley Fink of Glee co-star in the episode, titled "Coffee Cups."

The series, which debuted Dec. 12, features a dozen interconnected tales of the residents of Saturn, Calif. as they find themselves terrorized by everything from killer carolers and lovelorn vampires to cursed fruitcakes and haunted Christmas trees.
