Inside the Bleh building, Book is depressed about the news that Santa is nonexistent, but Book didn't want to make everyone else sad, so she got to work in making a Santa costume, later in the evening, the contestants on Bleh are sleeping, when Saw wakes up from hearing a distant "HO HO HO", Saw then looks on top of the Bleh building to find none other than "Santa" himself, Book, dressed as Santa, proceeds to say "Ho ho ho" again, but ends up falling off the roof and lands right on her face. She gives a magic 8-ball displaying the most roadman insult ever, "You're clapped", Book tells Saw to go, but more BFB contestants are asking if "Santa" has presents for them, Book had to think fast so she noticed Cloudy's stuff and gave it all away until the Sun rose, Book goes back inside talking to herself, she realises that she was insane for giving away all of Cloudy's stuff for everybody, Saw then arrives at the door saying how amazing her encounter with "Santa" was so overwhelming, Book is glad that it's all over, but notices a letter on the ground from the REAL Santa, which tells Book how kind she was for giving gifts to all of the BFB contestants, she goes back into the Bleh building realises she is insane, the episode ends.

## Trivia

* This episode is the first of a few things:
	+ This is the first holiday special of the show.
	+ This is the first episode to be longer than 2 minutes.
	+ This is the first episode to have credits.
* Despite the episode's long length, the episode took only a week to audio edit.
* This is the second episode the Hausa dub skipped.
* This is the last episode to air in 2019.
* The sequences where Book creates the Santa suit and gives presents to everyone were originally going to be longer, they had to be cut short due to time constraints, the original extended music and unusual cuts can still be heard in several dubs.
	+ On a related note, the Italian dub left the intro instrumental.

## Errors

* When the scene transitions to Book in the Bleh building, a few frames before it, Saw can be seen static on-screen.
* When Book says "I have an idea!", the bubble wipe is missing.
	+ This error is fixed in several dubs.
