Downtown, every time SpongeBob begins passing out fruitcakes, the citizens transform into donkeys after making "jackasses" of themselves and begin to behave in an unacceptable matter. First, the citizens grow donkey ears and a tail. Then their heads turn furry with donkey hair, and their laughter becomes the braying of a donkey. Their hands and feet become hooves, before they lose their ability to speak (though some of the donkeys are able to talk) and are finally forced on all fours. The donkeys are rounded up by Plankton. The donkeys are inspected and those who cannot talk are stripped of their clothes if they still wear any before being put into crates, then taken back to the ferry that takes the Bikini Bottomites to the island. They are sold to salt mines, circuses, and other places for money. | Downtown, every time SpongeBob begins passing out fruitcakes, the citizens transform into donkeys after making "jackasses" of themselves and begin to behave in an unacceptable matter.

Plot
SpongeBob wakes up and begins singing a Christmas Carol. All of SpongeBob’s friends are preparing for Christmas, and they join in his carol. At the Chum Bucket, Plankton is enraged that he gets a lump of coal in his stocking every year for Christmas. Karen tells him that if he hadn't been such a jerk, he just might get something for Christmas. Plankton pulls out a periodic table of elements and adds in extra one onto it, jerktonium, which is apparently capable of having the power to turn anyone into a donkey (except for SpongeBob, of course), and also serves as a trap for the citizens in Bikini Bottom. Plankton decides to lace every slice of fruitcake with Jerktonium, and give them to people to turn them into donkeys, so Santa will think Plankton isn't naughty after all and he will be able to get the Krabby Patty secret formula for Christmas.
Plankton leaves the Chum Bucket to begin giving people the fruitcakes, by dispensing these fruitcakes with his latest invention, which he refers to as the Jerkmaker 9000. SpongeBob instantly walks up and Plankton gives him a piece of fruitcake. The jerktonium, however, doesn’t affect SpongeBob anymore, causing the device to malfunction, so Plankton gives him more fruitcake. SpongeBob eats all of the fruitcake, and Plankton is enraged when he realizes that nothing seems to work on SpongeBob because his plan is insufficient and a complete failure. He gives SpongeBob a key and goes back inside. SpongeBob spots some Christmas carolers and hands them each a slice of fruitcake. The fish experience the effects of jerktonium and transform into donkeys, which makes them very angry. Plankton comes out and notices that the jerktonium worked only on the residents of Bikini Bottom instead of on SpongeBob.
Downtown, every time SpongeBob begins passing out fruitcakes, the citizens transform into donkeys after making "jackasses" of themselves and begin to behave in an unacceptable matter. First, the citizens grow donkey ears and a tail. Then their heads turn furry with donkey hair, and their laughter becomes the braying of a donkey. Their hands and feet become hooves, before they lose their ability to speak (though some of the donkeys are able to talk) and are finally forced on all fours. The donkeys are rounded up by Plankton. The donkeys are inspected and those who cannot talk are stripped of their clothes if they still wear any before being put into crates, then taken back to the ferry that takes the Bikini Bottomites to the island. They are sold to salt mines, circuses, and other places for money.
Those who can still talk are kept behind until they have lost their voices or have to pull Plankton's stagecoach. It seems that the donkeys pulling the stagecoach are actually a group of citizens that used to be in Bikini Bottom before the events of the episode took place. Nevertheless, SpongeBob remains oblivious to these changes, and he continues to sing.

Sandy uses the analyzer to reveal a formula for the antidote to cure the residents in Bikini Bottom. However, the antidote turns out to be a song which SpongeBob hums that cures Sandy.
SpongeBob shows up downtown and begins singing to rid everyone of the jerktonium and of being transformed into donkeys. After everyone is rid of the jerktonium and of being transformed into donkeys, Santa shows up and tells SpongeBob that everyone in town is on his naughty list instead of Plankton. Santa gives Plankton the secret formula, and Santa tells SpongeBob that he is in trouble for wreaking havoc in Bikini Bottom. The SpongeBob robot shows up and begins wreaking havoc, to which Santa points out that SpongeBob is doing it, except that Santa found out that it was the creature all along. The creature tries to destroy Santa, but SpongeBob destroys the creature and saves Santa. Christmas is saved and Mr. Krabs gets the formula back from Plankton, who is arrested and thrown into jail. Santa flies off and Patrick sneaks on with him in an attempt to capture him.
