Making Murdoch: A Merry Murdoch Christmas is the second episode of the 10th season of the popular Canadian television series Murdoch Mysteries. The episode begins with Detective Murdoch (played by Yannick Bisson) and his wife, Dr. Julia Ogden (played by Hélène Joy), preparing for the festive season. While they are excited to spend Christmas together, their plans are momentarily interrupted when Murdoch is called to investigate a burglary at the home of Constable George Crabtree (played by Jonny Harris).
During the course of the investigation, Murdoch uncovers evidence that suggests that the culprit may have been an old acquaintance of Crabtree's - a con artist named Charlie Brackenreid (played by Charlie Gallant). As the investigation progresses, Murdoch and Crabtree team up to unravel the mystery and bring the perpetrator to justice.
Meanwhile, Julia is planning a surprise for Murdoch's birthday, which falls on Christmas Day. She has commissioned a special cake from a local baker and has been secretly practicing a festive dance routine to surprise her husband. At the same time, several other members of the cast are also preparing for the holiday season in their own unique ways. Inspector Brackenreid (played by Thomas Craig), for example, is busy avoiding his overbearing mother-in-law, while Dr. Emily Grace (played by Georgina Reilly) is struggling to find her Christmas spirit following a personal loss.
Throughout the episode, the cast showcases their musical talents, performing a variety of Christmas carols and songs. There are also several comedic moments, particularly involving Crabtree and Brackenreid, who find themselves in some ridiculous situations as they attempt to solve the case.
Overall, Making Murdoch: A Merry Murdoch Christmas is a heartwarming, festive episode that delivers plenty of laughs and some entertaining mystery-solving. It's an excellent addition to the series, capturing the spirit of the holiday season while still maintaining the show's signature intrigue and suspense.
