A group of friends play a gift-exchange game, White Elephant, with a twist where all the gifts appear to be something else. Each participant takes turns choosing a gift, and some gifts are stolen from others. The gifts include an umbrella flask, camera lens mug, chocolate horseshoe, gummy bear soap set, cereal box puzzle, and a sans alive glow kit. In the final round, the two bonus gifts are revealed to be a decoy gift card box and a fake can of chips that turns out to be a spring-loaded snake, which scares one of the participants who has a phobia of snakes.
