Synopsis
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Springfield, but while Marge gets in the holiday spirit, it's bah humbug for the rest of the family. Disappointed that she is alone spreading the holiday cheer, Marge sends a letter to Martha Stewart (guest voice Stewart) to help her save the family Christmas. Martha comes to the rescue and transforms the house into the North Pole chalet Marge has always dreamed of, but when the family is noticeably absent from the perfectly trimmed holiday home, she realizes that it's Homer and the kids who make the holidays special. Meanwhile, the Simpsons get ready to sneak away for a tropical holiday vacation in Hawaii, but surprise visitors Mr. Burns and Moe's new girlfriend, Katy Perry (guest-starring as herself in a special live-action sequence) delay their getaway.
Plot
It's Christmas Eve and Bart has his BB gun out to hurt Santa Claus as he hasn't given him a dirt bike. As everyone goes to sleep, they have different dreams.
Bart's dream
At midnight, a train pulls up outside of the house driven by Otto Man. It is called the Polar Express. It takes Bart to the North Pole where he works his way up through the ranks of the elves to reach Santa to ask why he hasn't gotten a dirt bike. After taking out two snowman guards (by turning up the thermostat), he enters the office of Santa to find that it is a run down dump. Santa tells Bart that he is poor due to handing out presents every year. When Bart leaves, Santa presses a button to reveal a disco like room and loads of girls come out.
Lisa's dream
It is World War II and Marge is fighting on the front line while Homer is working in the Springfield Bomber Factory. Homer returns home with a Christmas tree and Lisa tells him to take it away as the last time she saw one, Marge got conscripted into the army. Homer then receives a telegram telling him that Marge is Missing in Action. Lisa blames the tree again and runs off. She ends up in the place she last saw Marge and Wiseguy reveals that Marge bought a tree last year but never took it. It looks like Marge. Lisa takes it home and Bart and Homer are taking it in turns to be sad. When they see the tree, they become happier and they decorate the tree.
Meanwhile, Marge is in Nazi-occupated France. She heads into a cinema where Nazis are watching a film of a flying elephant destroying London. Marge blows up the cinema, killing Hitler.
Marge's dream
Marge is upset that Christmas will be bad. She writes a letter to Martha Stewart and she comes to help out, transforming the bed into a four poster. She then uses Maggie's head as a stencil to spray paint snowflakes on the window. When Marge asks about shampooing the paint out of Maggie's hair, Martha asks why. She turns Bart and Milhouse into nutcracker soldiers and tells them to march for a hour. She also turns Homer into a Christmas display, putting him to sleep with a chemical. Marge, upset with how the family is now, asks Martha to put everything back the way it was and she does so with her magic wand.
Maggie's dream
Maggie has received a video called A Fluppet Christmas Special and in her dream the Simpson family and friends appear as puppet versions of themselves. The Simpsons are about to go to Hawaii and have arranged for Moe to house-sit.
