X-Men and Christmas, not always a great combination.
The episode opens to some rather pitiful singing as Rogue, Cyclops and Jubilee decorate a rather enormous Christmas tree and discuss how this is her first year having Christmas with the X-Men. Meanwhile, Jean and Gambit fight in the kitchen over cooking the dinner for tonight. Deciding to go and do some last minute shopping, Jubilee, Storm and Wolverine head out to the mall for a while but run into some trouble when mutants steal ambulance supplies.
After chasing the thieves down, Storm discovers that one of the Morlock's (tunnel dwelling mutants), Leech, has fallen seriously ill. Feeling rather guilty that she's failed them as a leader, Storm and the others proceed to do all they can to pull off a miracle and save him despite the mistrust one mutant, Callisto, shows towards Storm.
The entire episode plays out like a rather bad soap opera and drags down both the X-Men and Christmas shows with it. Hardcore fans might find more enjoyment here than others.
