"The One With the Holiday Armadillo" is the eighth Christmas episode of the NBC sitcom Friends, produced as the ninth episode of its seventh season (even though it was aired as the tenth).
Synopsis[]
Phoebe brings in her late mother's Christmas memorial candy dish, which is shaped like a skull. Ben stays with Ross for the holidays who intends to teach him about their Jewish heritage. He feels Ben is only exposed to Christmas traditions. He certainly makes his mark on Ben but the idea of a year without Santa sounds like a serious punishment.
Ross wants to surprise Ben but he can't rent any Christmas suit this late, so he invents Santa's Tex-Mex friend, the Holiday Armadillo. The Holiday Armadillo explains about Hanukkah, but Chandler appears as Santa to help out Ross. Ross, however, was really connecting with Ben so he asks Chandler to leave, until Monica asks him to keep the suit "for later"!
