Season 3, Episode 9: Bob Rest Ye Merry Gentle-Mannequins
As you know by now, season 3 is when we start getting our Bob’s Burgers holiday episodes. So let’s get a quick summary of the very first Bob’s Burgers Christmas ever.
Bob finally catches a break when he inherits a storage unit. With hopes to find at least one valuable item in it, the Belchers are very quickly surprised to find nothing of value and also a resident (aka a squatter), Chet (voiced by our future Felix Fischoeder - Zach Galifianakis).
Chet, it turns out used to create holiday window displays for department stores. He brings his talents to the Bob’s Burgers street window only to become more and more unhinged only to reveal the love of his life - a mannequin - has been stolen.
In order to make sure Chet is in the mood to put a family-friendly display in the window for Christmas, the Belchers must track down his long lost lo—er, mannequin.

When the Belcher kids upset a mall Santa, the fear of ending up on the naughty list forces them to prove their niceness through an ice capades show at the mall, naturally.
