The series follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach, who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The team's owner, Rebecca Welton, hires Lasso hoping he will fail as a means of exacting revenge on the team's previous owner, Rupert, her unfaithful ex-husband. The previous season saw Rebecca change her mind on the club's direction and working with Ted in saving it, although the club is relegated from the Premier League. In the episode, the characters celebrate Christmas with different experiences.
The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the episode's wholesome nature, writing, performances and emotional tone.
