The premise

Here’s the bit.

In this holiday-themed Stuart sketch, the spoiled, oversized "child" Stuart Larkin is cast as Baby Jesus in a church Christmas pageant directed by the exasperated Nun Francis. True to form, Stuart causes complete mayhem during the performance, obsessing over a candy bar and disrupting the sacred nativity scene. His overbearing mother Doreen watches from the sidelines, making everything worse with her interference. The three wise men and other cast members look on in bewilderment as Stuart's antics derail the entire production, turning what should be a reverent Christmas celebration into classic Stuart pandemonium.
