To help pass time while posing in a holiday nativity scene, Cleveland tells his family his own version of one of his favorite holiday stories, "Die Hard." In Cleveland's version, when Waterman Cable Company is taken hostage on Christmas Eve by a group of terrorists, including Tim the Bear, Lester, Federline and Kendra, a barefoot Cleveland - wearing a tank-top much like the one Bruce Willis wore in the movie - must endure window-shattering shoot-outs and fist fights with his friends to save his wig-wearing wife, Donna, in a parody of the greatest Christmas blockbuster...
When a storm hits Stoolbend, the Brown/Tubbs family tries to salvage what's left of their vacation. Meanwhile, Cleveland Jr. shocks everyone with a proclamation of his religious beliefs. The crossover continues on Family Guy S10E02 Seahorse Seashell Party (II) and American Dad! S08E02 Hurricane! (III).
