The video is about a YouTuber, Christine, creating a holographic will. A holographic will is a handwritten and signed document that serves as a last will and testament. Christine researches the concept and finds that it is a legal document, but its acceptance varies by state. She decides to create one, despite some lawyers suggesting that it's not a good idea.
Christine then proceeds to write her will, leaving her condo to Ben on the condition that he brings her tea to her grave every day. She also leaves her nail polish to her subscribers, her Paley bag to be auctioned on eBay, and her sweatpants to a friend. She also wishes for her YouTube channel to be taken over by someone who can carry it forward with dignity.
Finally, she signs the will and adds holographic smiley face stickers to make it more "holographic." Throughout the video, Christine is aware that her will might not hold up in court, but she finds the process entertaining and a way to have fun before she dies.
