Cartman has
Kyle's
cousin perform a tally of his naughty and nice deeds. He informs Cartman that he has been too naughty to earn his coveted
Christmas gift, a
Haibo robot dog. In order to reverse his past misdeeds, he sets out to spread Christmas cheer to the people of
Iraq. Meanwhile, at a tree lighting ceremony,
Jimmy Valmer is given the honor of lighting, but first decides to sing "
The Twelve Days of Christmas". Due to his stutter, it takes most of the episode for him to reach the end of the twelve verses. With the use of
Mr. Hankey's Poo-Choo train, Cartman and the other boys travel to the North Pole to convince
Santa Claus to bring Christmas to Iraq. With the assistance of the
Underpants Gnomes, Santa prepares his sleigh and travels to Iraq, only to be promptly shot down, brought in, and tortured. The boys realize that Cartman's little ploy may have ended Christmas for everyone and set out to make things right. Taking a backup sled, they seek out
Jesus. Upon hearing the news, Jesus promptly arms himself with an array of automatic weapons and travels with the boys to Iraq, brutally gunning down everyone who impedes him. The group breaks into the interrogation room and frees Santa. As they make their way back to the sleigh, Jesus is shot dead by one Iraqi captor. Outraged, Santa kills the soldier, and proceeds to blast his way out. Back on the sleigh, Santa flies the children back to South Park, but not before covering Iraq in Christmas decorations. Much to the town's delight, Jimmy finally finishes his song and switches on the Christmas tree, only for the lights to then blow a fuse. At that moment though, Santa flies past the tree and magically restores them. Santa returns the boys home, hoping that people will always remember Jesus on this day. He gives the children all Haibo dogs as thanks, but Cartman is disgusted, as he wanted to be the only kid owning one and have his friends envy him.
Kenny McCormick then shows up out of nowhere (his first appearance since "
Kenny Dies"), though the three seem unfazed by this. ==Production==
