Homer surprises Marge with the ultimate gift: an unforgettable performance from Italian opera superstar Andrea Bocelli and his 25-year-old son Matteo and 10-year-old daughter Virginia.
Full Story[]
The short starts with the Simpsons children waking up on Christmas and running down the stairs to open presents. Homer says that Marge has to open her present first, and pulls out Andrea Bocelli from behind the tree. Both Marge and Lisa exclaim "Andrea Bocelli!" Bart asks who he is, and proceeds to try to open his present, a wrapped bike. Marge holds him back as Homer explains who the man is. Mr. Bocelli announces he is here with his two children, Virginia and Matteo, and then starts singing "Con Te Partiro." As Marge continues to hold Bart, he suddenly escapes her grasp and starts to sing along with Mr. Bocelli. Homer then says to "save that for Valentine's Day" and that he needs to sing a Christmas song. Virginia suggests "Feliz Navidad," and the group starts to sing it as Marge and Maggie watch. Maggie holds up a succession of signs, saying "Merry Christmas," "Feliz Navidad," "Is it still Chanukah(sp)?" and "Have a swingin' pagan solstice"
The camera then pans outside the house as we see a few scenes of other characters celebrating.
Chief Wiggum fries a turkey on the electric chair, and Snake comes over to cut it.
Ralph Wiggum, dressed in a rabbit onesie, picks up an Easter egg and puts it in a basket with no botton. After it falls out, he picks it up again.
After Brandine finishes hanging up all of the Spuckler children's stockings, Cletus starts to kiss her, in which she crawls away.
The cartoon of Itchy as Mickey on Steamboat Willie (as seen in other Simpsons Disney+ shorts, such as When Billie Met Lisa) returns, this time with Itchy wearing a Santa hat.
It then returns the Simpsons singing, and Bart finally getting to ride his bike. The screen changes to the Mickey logo, which Bart rides across. Mickey exclaims "Not in front of the logo!"
