If you thought Season 4 of How I Met Your Mother began and ended with “Naked Man”, you were sadly mistaken.

This year’s holiday episode, “Little Minnesota”, was chock full of laughs, from musical numbers by Barney to new Canadian jokes.

Here’s the episode recap from CBS.com :

When Ted’s younger sister, Heather, comes to visit and decides she wants to move there, Ted worries that she’s not mature or responsible enough to survive in NYC. Being the overprotective older brother, Ted tries to keep her out of trouble, and in particular keep her away from Barney. But when Ted becomes too overbearing, Heather teaches him a lesson that gives him new respect for her. And after northern natives Marshall and Robin bond during the first frost of the year, Marshall helps Robin get through her worst bout of homesickness by introducing her to his favorite Minnesota themed bar.

What did I love about this episode? Well, first and foremost, Barney’s renditions of holiday favorites, all crudely referencing Ted’s sister Heather. “Jingle Bells” will never be the same again! Secondly, I really liked how Marshall tried to help Robin with her homesickness, by taking her to his favorite Minnesota-themed bar, and especially when he took her to the Canadian “Hoser Bar” at the end. And I thought Marshall doing “Let’s Go to the Mall” at karaoke was such a great touch.
