"Nice-Capades" is the fifth episode of the sixth season of the American comedy series Bob's Burgers and the 93rd episode overall. It was written by Dan Fybel and directed by Chris Song. The guest stars are Kevin Kline as Calvin Fischoeder, Zach Galifianakis as his brother Felix Fischoeder, Henry Winkler as a mall Santa and Jessica Lowe who voices an elf. It first aired in the US on Fox Network at November 15, 2015. In this Christmas episode the siblings Tina, Gene and Louise Belcher try to prove that they are good kids by performing an ice capades show in front of a mall Santa.
A few days before Christmas the Belcher children want to use a massage chair in the mall but it is used by a man. The kids force the man to leave but he reveals that he is a mall Santa, and he says that he will send his report about the children's behaviour to the real Santa Claus. After Louise had a nightmare about her and her siblings only getting coal for Christmas, she is worried that her bad dream will come true. The kids go to Santa's village in the mall to apologise to Santa. The first time they are sent away by Santa's elf because they do not want a picture to be taken, the second time Tina accidentally spills milk over Santa's coat, so they are forced to leave again.
Later they have the idea of doing an ice capades show named Nice-Capades on the mall's ice rink to impress Santa and singing about all the nice things they did that year. Louise asks Calvin Fischoeder to talk to the mall management so they can use the ice rink on Christmas Eve for the last half-hour before the mall closes. In return, Mr. Fischoeder wants to sing a song while his brother Felix does an figure skating performance which Louise accepts. Gene writes the song the children want to sing, Linda makes costumes and Teddy asks the other players of the jewish ice hockey team which he is in for help during the show.
