What better way to get in the holiday spirit than with a clip of beloved New Girl character Schmidt lip-synching to Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” while in a fat suit?

Max Greenfield, who plays Schmidt, made the video while in prosthetics on set, and is goes from a simple, funny lip-synch to a dance number on a hill overlooking Los Angeles. In short, it’s beautiful.

The clip is old, but Greenfield’s costar, Zooey Deschanel, re-shared it on her site HelloGiggles, igniting a wave of nostalgia. We have no clue what prompted the re-share, but we aren’t complaining. Turn this on and try not to smile.
