When Seth Cohen's grand plan to celebrate Chrismukkah seems unlikely, he relies on the help of his friends and family to make it happen. The episode begins with Seth's preparations for the annual Chrismukkah celebration, a holiday that combines Christmas and Hanukkah.

Determined to make the best of the situation, Seth enlists the help of his best friend, Ryan, to convince his mom to stay and celebrate Chrismukkah with him and her husband, Sandy. Meanwhile, Marissa, who is going through a difficult time, feels that she does not belong in her own family.

As if this wasn't enough, the family's neighbor, Julie, schemes to ruin their celebration by throwing a party of her own on the same day - and at the same location. The Cohens and their friends are forced to make a choice: attend Julie's party, or come together to make Chrismukkah a reality.
