At Heartmark Channel studios, Mary Tannenbaum is praised for her work on the mysteries division, and she gets offered to become president of the Homemaker Mysteries division, however to do so, she needs to help with the movie A Christmas Ornament for Christmas, and she gets sent to Springfield, where she is picked up by Moe and taken to the Simpson Home.
She's greeted by Marge, as the house has been adapted as a airbnb, and she'd sleep in Bart's room. Mary tells Marge of her hate for Christmas movies, while Marge is trying to tell her how much she loves them. The next morning, she tries to offer her brunch, but she refuses and goes to Skip's Diner, where people, including Skinner make fun of her requests for breakfast at Lunchlady Dora being too fancy for a small town diner, her being used to the ones in the big city.
At the center of town, the movie scene is being prepared, and there're many problems, including building gazebos and a person interfering, which she finds out is Skinner. He offers to help with the carpentry if she helps with the promotion of his Lettuce and tomato festival he's trying to promote in town.
She reports the success on fixing the movie scene to the boss but he informed her that she has to stay till the end of the production or she won't get the promotion, while Homer finds the perfect opportunity to help in the production by collecting fake snow material around town, and Bart is sulking over having no place to sleep.
Mary invites Skinner on a break on his work and points out how he's great with his talent, but while his fiancé calls to check on her, she finds herself falling in love with him. That night, Bart finds himself having to sleep with his sisters, the Snowball and Santa's Little Helper on one bed, trapped in the middle of them, but when he goes to Homer and Marge's room to sleep with them, he finds two crew members sleeping on the bed, and he has had enough.
The next day, Mary points out to Marge how they've problems programming Christmas look in town, but she gets an idea on how to fix it, by using the festival and transforming the town center into it using the vegetables, inviting people of the town in.
