The Last Gingerbread House on the Left

"" is the seventh episode in Season 7, being the one-hundred-and-fourteenth episode overall and the 2016 Christmas-themed episode.
==Plot==
As the Belchers prepare for Christmas, Bob gets an unexpected call from Mr. Fischoeder asking him to bring food to a party at his home. When Bob arrives, he discovers that he has gotten involved in an intense gingerbread house building competition with Mr. Fischoeder's rowdy group of friends. Meanwhile, Linda and Teddy try to inspire some Christmas cheer in the neighbors as they take the kids caroling.
==Synopsis==
Late one night a week before Christmas, Bob and Linda worry about the kids' Christmas lists and their low funds for buying presents. Later, Linda gets string light necklaces and convinces the entire family to go caroling out in the suburbs, hoping that they'll get residents to join them. Before they leave, however, Mr. Fischoeder calls on Bob to attend a secret get-together under the pretext of ordering burgers. Although Bob is scared at the mansion's dungeon and believes a table set out of candy treats and toppings means they will eta him, it turns out to be a secret gingerbread house building contest which Mr. Fischoeder and his rich, eccentric friends engage in as part of a Christmas tradition. The winner gets the group prize paid for by the contestants. This year, the prize is a paid-for Christmas Day cuddle session with the zoo's newborn albino polar bear cub. Mr. Fischoeder, having lost every year previous, has Bob enter and intentionally lose so that he will no longer be a loser (with the requisite wearing of a bedpan it entails). He offers Bob one month's free rent and Bob agrees, hoping to use the freed-up money on presents for the kids.
Meanwhile, Linda, Teddy, and the kids go caroling, but find the residents uninterested in joining or offering things like cider or hot cocoa. They pass one eerie house that Teddy claims belongs to a man who is a murderer. The owner eventually comes out, terrifying them, but ends up being a kind man and wonderful carol singer named Oscar. After wowing them with his rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful", Oscar invites them in for hot cocoa.
At the contest, Bob's gingerbread house building skills impress Mr. Fischoeder's friends, causing Mr. Fischoeder to lash out in jealousy with insults. Bob pulls him aside and when Mr. Fischoeder refuses to apologize, Bob resolves to actually use his skills to win the contest and give the kids the gift of cuddling with the polar bear cub. As the gingerbread houses enter judging, Mr. Fischoeder pulls out a gun and son the others pull out hidden guns to aim at the houses on the table, as well as Felix, who is unable to participate and gets irritated with his brother. After a moment where they consider Bob telling them to put their guns away, Mr. Fishcoeder shoots Bob's house apart. This causes his friends to also shoot one another's houses. The houses are destroyed, and an angry Bob, upset at almost dying in a 'gingerbread massacre", tells the others of Fischeoder's deal. His friends are surprisingly impressed by his plan. Bob apologizes to Mr. Fischoeder and tells them that he finds their traditional contest to be a sweet way to be together with chosen family during Christmas. The judge deems Bob's gingerbread house the one least destroyed and declares him the winner. As they all leave, they discover the other Belchers, Teddy and Oscar outside Fischoeder's mansion singing carols. Bob surprises the kids with the Christmas cuddle session prize, but also invites Mr. Fischoeder and his contest friends to join them, to their delight.
