Here’s an early Christmas present for ‘Glee’ fans -- Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to the series as substitute teacher Holly Holiday.

Triple-threat Paltrow confirmed over the weekend that she’s coming back to Ryan Murphy‘s show in the new year, after a well-received first run in November.

‘I’m going to do one more,’ Paltrow told ‘Access Hollywood’ over the weekend, ‘I signed up for two … so I’m excited!’

For her first turn, Paltrow got a crack at Cee-Lo‘s ‘Forget You’ (check out a clip above), a Broadway number with Lea Michele and a mashup of the classic ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and Rihanna‘s ‘Umbrella.’

‘Just the incredible challenge of getting off a plane, going to record four songs immediately in one afternoon, and then having to learn all the dance numbers in like 20 minutes,’ she said. ‘I love Ryan Murphy, he’s an old friend of mine and I was just in awe of everybody’s talent.’
