The Banks go to a ski resort and rent a cabin for the holiday. When the adults need alone time, they leave the kids in the cabin and head to the resort lounge.
Tropes for this episode include:
- Bound and Gagged: The robber ties up the kids together with Christmas lights and gags their mouths with duct tape. They can barely move, though not for lack of trying.
- Death Glare: While Bound and Gagged, Will shoots this at his cousins since it was their idea to let the man into their cabin. His face screams I Told You So.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Will ended up being right that letting a strange man into their cabin is not a good idea, not even on Christmas.
- Sweet and Sour Grapes: On Christmas Day, the Banks decide that even if they have no presents, they have each other. The sheriff then reveals that they managed to recover the Banks' stuff. Janice's test returns positive, revealing that she is pregnant.
- Wham Line: Will, after being outvoted on letting a strange man into their cabin, makes the most of it and asks the man to say Merry Christmas on their home camera. The man does and then says, "Nobody move, this is a stickup." Cue the camera fading to static.
