On Christmas,
Bart
,
Lisa
, and
Maggie
rush downstairs to open their presents.
Homer
stops them to let
Marge
go first and reveals that Italian tenor
Andrea Bocelli
is hiding behind the tree. Marge and Lisa are excited to see him whilst Bart doesn't care and just wants to open his presents. As Bocelli starts to sing "
Con te partiro
", Bart gets into the music and sings along with Bocelli. After they stop, Homer asks Andrea for a Christmas song. Andrea turns to his children Matteo and Virginia for help. Virginia suggests that they sing "
Feliz Navidad
", and the three of them sing it to the Simpsons, with the Simpsons joining in.
Across town,
Chief Wiggum
uses the electric chair on a turkey, which
Snake Jailbird
carves.
Ralph Wiggum
is dressed as the Easter bunny and tries to put an egg in his basket, which has a hole in.
Itchy
in "
Steamboat Itchy
" is seen in a Santa hat,
Cletus Spuckler
and
Brandine Spuckler
put up Christmas stockings for their children, and
Groundskeeper Willie
gives
Sideshow Bob
a rake, which he then steps on. During the song, Bart unwraps his bike and cycles off across the
Mickey Mouse
icon, much to his annoyance.

Reception
[

John Schwarz of
Bubbleblabber
gave the film a seven out of ten, stating: "With barely enough time for a proper joke setup, the latest short from
The Simpsons
is probably the most innocent of the bunch yet. Still very much a commercial for the longest running animated series in primetime with the added bonus of the Bocellis getting a music video produced by David Silverman and the best animation producers in the business."
[7]
Mike Celestino of
LaughingPlace.com
gave a positive review, stating: "Overall it’s a very nice, if somewhat slight, holiday treat from 'Our Favorite Family,' the Bocellis, and the citizens of
Springfield
for Disney+ viewers to enjoy this Christmas."
