Post-episode news flash: Metallica did *not* perform “Carol of the Bells.” The referenced version of the song is by Trans-Siberian Orchestra (which Jason *was* familiar with). It’s not Rowena’s fault: early .mp3s of the song were mislabeled with Metallica as the artist, and the misattribution stuck.
