In this holiday-themed sketch from the episode "Veracosa," Homey the Clown fills in for Santa Claus at a shopping mall. True to his character, Homey doesn't follow the traditional Santa script - instead he uses his trademark sock to teach children life lessons, including a memorable anti-gang message. The sketch features Homey's signature catchphrase "Homey don't play that" and showcases his unique approach to dealing with kids who come to sit on Santa's lap. Despite his rough exterior, Homey shows glimpses of a softer side, offering toys to kids who can't afford them while physically discouraging gang involvement. The sketch balances humor with social commentary, featuring Homey's interactions with various children including one who wants to join a gang.

This sketch aired as part of the infamous 25th episode celebration, which concluded with a cake incident involving David Alan Grier. Episode title "Veracosa" also featured "Vera De Milo: Veracosa, Mistress of Destruction" and "Cephus & Reesie: The Christmas Album". The character Homey D. Clown was inspired/created by legendary writer Paul Mooney. The video has over 2 million views on YouTube and remains a fan favorite.
