However, things begin to go wrong when Murray becomes a bit too committed to his role and starts to act a bit wild. Meanwhile, Roberta is supposed to sing a solo at church but feels self-conscious about her singing voice. She decides to turn to Federline for vocal coaching, but things don't go as planned.

The episode starts with Cleveland and his family going to church, where Roberta is supposed to give a solo performance for the Christmas carol service. However, when she begins to sing, her voice cracks, leaving her embarrassed and humiliated. Meanwhile, Rallo and Murray are in the park when Rallo sees a man dressed up as Santa Claus and decides that he wants to ask him for a gift. Murray, who is dressed up as an elf, is skeptical and tells Rallo that there's no way that man is the real Santa Claus.

Rallo decides that he is going to find Santa Claus and get him to bring him his desired present. He enlists the help of Murray and Cleveland, who doesn't seem too happy about being the elf helper. Things begin to go downhill when they can't find Santa Claus, but Murray decides that he is going to take on the role of Santa Claus himself. He takes Rallo to a rooftop and tells him that they can watch the stars together. However, when Murray starts acting crazy and begins flailing around the roof, Rallo realizes that this man is not really Santa Claus.

Meanwhile, Roberta is still upset about her embarrassing performance at church and decides to take vocal coaching lessons from Federline. However, Federline's coaching style is unorthodox, to say the least, and he ends up taking Roberta to a nightclub where she can practice singing in front of a live audience. Roberta is hesitant to perform at first, but when she finally gets on stage, she has a breakthrough and finds her voice again.

Back on the rooftop, Rallo and Cleveland manage to get Murray down from the roof. However, when they show up back at home, the police are there waiting for them. It turns out that Murray had stolen a bag full of money from a toy store, thinking it was a bag of toys. After sorting things out with the police, everyone gathers together for a holiday celebration, where Roberta sings her solo much to her family's surprise.

In conclusion, "Murray Christmas" is a fun-filled episode that captures the true spirit of the holiday season.
