They sing a stock music version of "Deck the Halls" which then starts to derail quickly when Goomba points out how stupid this is, then once it's Joseph turn to sing a verse, he forgets the lyrics, which makes Goomba mad and the both start arguing after the song is finished, we then cut to the elf walking out of a trash can with a gun singing a little song about how he will kill Chef Tom with his elf gun! He starts to look for Chef Tom in different places, but there was no sign of him until the elf hears a noise, he quickly hides and to his suprise, finds Chef Tom talking about how excited he is about Christmas! But then he quickly leaves much to the elf's dismay, so he then hides again to wait for Chef Tom. Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi go outside to find out it's snowing! Mario then tells Luigi a fun fact that it snows once every 50 Years in the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi then feels a bit down in the dumps, Mario asks what's wrong, Luigi then says how much he doesn't like the fact that Mario is gonna be King, Mario then asks Luigi if he wants "Yellow Snow" as a joke, but Luigi says no, and they go back inside. Meanwhile Red and Ducky talk about eachother's past and how this Christmas will be different for them for the better. Shy Guy then asks them to leave so that him and his friends can talk in the area they're in, so Red and Ducky both leave. Shy Guy and Goomba then talk about how rubbish they were at singing back there and break the fourth wall in terms of SMJ's Music Skills, Joseph asks what they should do now, Shy Guy then responds by saying they should do nothing! Chef Tom comes back and discovers the elf, thinking he's one of Shy Guy's toys, he picks him up and gets attacked! The Elf then decides to wait until Chef Tom wakes up so he can witness his final moments, but then Shy Guy and his friends come in and discover that Chef Tom had been knocked out cold by the Elf. Meanwhile, Luigi tells Mario that he feels upset about never seeing him again after he becomes King, but Mario then clarifies that he isn't going anywhere and tells him that Peach is moving in with them, Luigi then feels happy again, and discovers that Chef Tom is in danger! They rush over to the bed and it is revealed that the Elf that is trying to kill Chef Tom had known Mario and Luigi for many years, and his actual name is Buddy the Elf, they try to convince him to call this off, but Buddy refuses as he says he'll lose his job if he doesn't kill Chef Tom, then just as he's about to kill Chef Tom, Santa then pops in to tell Buddy that he made a mistake and accidentally put Chef Tom on The Hit List, and what he was actually supposed to put in was a man named Chef Bob! Santa and Buddy then apologize for the inconvenience, and then leave. The episode then ends with everyone from SMJ (with the exception of a few characters) singing their rendition of "The Best Christmas of All" from Snowed in at the House of Mouse!
