->'''Bob:''' That was intimidation!\\

While hunting for a last-minute Christmas tree, the Belchers find themselves hunted by an angry driver in a candy-cane shaped truck. Meanwhile, Teddy falls into the kids' Santa trap.

!Tropes
* AnimationBump: Teddy getting his hand caught in the wreath-shaped trap inside the refrigerator and struggling to get it out is animated much more fluidly, done in-house by Bernard Derriman.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: When Linda tries to pass the time singing Christmas carols, she sees the candy-cane truck has come back to look for them.
-->'''Linda:''' ''Siiiiiilent niiight, hooooooly...'' (''sees the truck'') crap!
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: When the driver (Gary) hops out for a rumble, he turns out to be quite short.
* InTheStyleOf: The Creator/DrDemento-esque "Jingle In The Jungle." It's even a sound-alike of "Pico and Sepulveda," which Dr. Demento uses as his theme song.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Linda and the kids manage to piss off an irate truck driver who begins stalking the family after they leave the tree lot.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite lacking in height, Gary packs quite a wallop.
* SkewedPriorities: Teddy is more concerned with Bob opening his Christmas card than getting the fridge off of him.
* TheTalk: While the Belchers are hiding from the candy-cane truck, Louise picks a really bad time to ask where babies come from.
-->'''Linda:''' (''whispering'') You all come from my vagina.\\
'''Gene:''' (''whispering'') I knew it! You owe me $10, Tina.
* WholePlotReference: The episode is a tamer, christmas-y version of the movie ''Film/{{Duel}}'', where a character is followed by a hidden, dangerous trucker.
