Watch Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes in Their First Collaboration: Drunk History Christmas

If you worship at the altar of tabloid courtships, you know that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have been linked romantically since working together on Derek Cianfrance's crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines earlier this year. But thanks to a new Funny or Die video, gossip hounds won't have to wait until 2012 to see the rumored couple together onscreen. Check out the pair's first official collaboration below, appropriately titled "Drunk History Christmas."

Funny or Die regular Allan McLeod co-stars in the above video as the drunk narrator and Jim Carrey makes a special appearance as Santa Claus. Do you deem this 'Twas the Night Before Christmas rendition a worthy coming-out project for the couple? Or at the very least, a worthy-enough holiday video to play for your 14-year-old cousins this weekend after you run out of conversation topics at the kids' table?
