This Christmas-centric episode starts with a dramatic reading of a text exchange between the brothers Drouillard regarding the proliferation of Christmas movies being produced by the Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, and countless other entities and goes on to discuss Christmas in the USSR, Winnie Cooper in "Dollyland," Michael Bolton, the Grinch, Bing Crosby, Pauly Shore, stick puppets, script-writing robots, and Brother Brad's irrational distaste for the most wonderful time of the year. Mother Glenda drops by to spread some holiday cheer as well.

(*Yes, Brother Geoff is aware that it’s Dollywood and not Dollyland. But he’s an idiot.*)
