Netflix decided to be a little cheeky this holiday season with a new video short featuring the female inmates from Orange Is the New Black. The streaming service released a clip on YouTube on December 18, 2014, called Holidays at Litchfield, a rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas” as performed by the cast from Netflix’s hit original series.
The primary cast members of Orange Is the New Black appear in character in the 46-second video set within Litchfield Penitentiary. Each woman sings a line, but with a decidedly prison-inspired twist. For example, one inmate cheerfully mentions “ten bitches cutting” while another sings about “four stalking girls” while she uses her hands to imitate claws.

Netflix started work on Orange Is the New Black in the summer of 2013, with all thirteen episodes of season one released on July 11. The dramedy prison series was a hit with audiences and reviewers alike. Netflix greenlit the second season for release on June 6, 2014, and IMDb is already listing a third season set for release sometime in 2015.
If you feel like your holidays are some of the worst around, make sure you watch this clip and remember you could be spending Christmas in prison like the Orange inmates. Suddenly those family gatherings don’t seem as unbearable.
