## Summary

Beginning in the dining room of Pendragon’s House, Monica proposes that they do secret Santa for Christmas. Dani obliges and pulls a name, while Nico refuses due to not having money. He eventually relents after Dani probes him, not being a fan of his pick. Monica asks Dorian to participate, who get excited with his pick. Monica asks Dani to come along with her, as she has one more paper to give (which she kept hidden in her pocket).

They then go to Evan’s Café to see Mark, who immediately pulls a shotgun on Dani due to the influence of the cursed potion he was given previously. After he apologizes, Monica invites Mark to the Christmas party, and while initially unsure, he accepts. Dani comments that he isn’t allowed to gift her raisin pudding, which he questions how she knows he got her name.

Over the next few days, Monica notices Dorian has been looking at her lot, and begins to suspect he picked her name. Meanwhile, Dani hurts herself trying to make her present, and Nico tries to find a present, though he appears to have been squished in the process.

On the day of the party, the kids decorate Dorian’s room in the attic with garlands, ribbons, and a big Christmas tree. Scenes of them eating cookies, dancing, and having fun. They then exchange presents. Monica gifts Nico a new outfit and sword in the size of a doll that he can wear when shrunk. Dani opens Mark’s present, which is a big Christmas cake. Nico jokingly says he could have laced it with rat poison, which everyone shrugs off, though Mark then comments maybe they shouldn’t eat it, just in case. Monica opens her present next, which is a hand knit scarf. She begins to thank Dorian, before Dani interrupts say she made it. Monica questions Dorian as to why he had been staring at her so much, which he says he only noticed her staring at him. Dorian then opens his present, which is unicorn hair from Nico, which leads to him wanting to be Nico’s best friend, much to his disdain.

The last present is to Mark from Dorian, which is an enchanted lamp that causes different weathers. They use the lamp to make it snow, much to everyone’s excitement. The special ends with the group having a snowball fight.

## Trivia

* This episode is the first of the specials in the series. While it is not in line with the current Witch's Sabbath Arc, it is canon to the story.
* The episode likely takes place sometime between events during episode 27, as Mark has already been cursed by Dani, but Dani has not cut her hair yet, which happens after the Witch’s Sabbath arc that begins in episode 28.
