[edit] Synopsis

When Eric loses his holiday cheer, Kitty convinces him to direct the church Christmas pageant (and Hyde to participate). But Eric has trouble getting his friends to cooperate and stop giving stupid ideas. Kelso wants to watch Christmas specials on TV, but the gang makes fun of him.

Meanwhile, Red gets annoyed by Bob's bright and loud Christmas decorations, so he steals them and throws them in a dumpster. Eric loses his inspiration wants to go home, but Leo convinces him to stay. When he goes back in, he finds Hyde, Kelso and Fez in a circle, having gotten into Hyde's stash of "frankincense". Soon after, he is caught by Pastor Dave and fired.

Dave takes over the production, but the gang quickly ties him up with Christmas lights. Bob confronts Red about his missing decorations. Eric finds them fighting and protests. Red gives up and tells Bob where his decorations are. Back at the church, Leo finds the gang preparing to light Dave up and convinces them to work with Eric. Kelso falls asleep and dreams that he is in a claymation Christmas special. With the advice of Santa, Rudolph and the Little Drummer Boy, Kelso stops feeling ashamed to watch the specials. He wakes up and unties Pastor Dave, who becomes convinced that he is cool.

Leo, Dave and the gang go to Eric's house and apologize, giving him the cassette deck he wanted for the Vista Cruiser. Because he's "cool", Dave hires Eric back to direct the pageant, and he accepts.
