"The Futurama Holiday Spectacular", originally titled "Holiday Val-U-Pak", is the one hundred and first episode of Futurama, the thirteenth of the sixth production season and the seventh broadcast season. It is the third seasonal episode so far, though parts of Bender's Big Score exhibit seasonal themes. It aired 21 November 2010 on Comedy Central, and guest starred Al Gore as himself and Coolio as Kwanzaa-bot.

Plot

The Planet Express crew races to preserve the traditional practices of the classic holidays of Xmas, Robanukah and Kwanzaa. Along the way, they encounter the murderous Kringlebot, Al Gore's Head-In-A-Jar, mutated pine trees, droidls, fembot wrestling, albino humping worms, Kwanzaabot and giant space bees, all while learning the true meaning behind the holidays... with an occasional song thrown in for good measure.[2]

It is an Anthology of Interest style episode, focusing on three seasonal stories; one based on Xmas, one on Robanukah and one on Kwanzaa.[3]

Continuity

Quotes

    Leela: What's wrong, Fry? Are you regretting another wasted year?
    Fry: I don't know. Something about Xmas just doesn't feel like Christmas.
    Farnsworth: [The alarm sounds and the red light flashes.] Santa's coming! Initiate defenses! [The grey armour from "A Tale of Two Santas" covers the Planet Express headquarters, and Bender, Hermes, and Zoidberg block Santa's fireplace entrance.]
    Santa: [Flying in his sleigh.] God rest ye, merry gentlemen... in peace. [He starts firing at the building.]

    Farnsworth: Good news! All these pine trees are fighting global warming by producing oxygen. Happy now, Gore?
    Al Gore: Yeah. But I'd be happier if I had a set of lungs.
