Trina spends the episode obsessively decorating a giant Christmas tree with Robbie's help, while Beck deals with a cricket in his RV that is keeping him awake.

The episode is highly regarded among fans for its musical performance and is ranked as one of the best Nickelodeon holiday episodes on IMDb.

Tori is assigned André but struggles to find a meaningful gift. André is depressed because he received a "D" on a holiday song he wrote for his music composition class. The Secret Santa Reveal: Beck to Robbie: The opportunity to confront an old bully.

Tori's gift to André is a performance of his song, "It's Not Christmas Without You," featuring herself, Jade, and Cat. The performance impresses his teacher, Anthony, who changes André's grade to an "A".

The holiday special centers on a "Secret Santa" gift exchange assigned by Sikowitz to get the students into the Christmas spirit. The stakes are high: whoever gives the worst gift must go door-to-door yodeling with Sikowitz on Christmas Eve.
