In her opening monologue, host
Chelsea Handler, with the help of the Chelsea Lately Bitter Elf Choir, talks about their Scrooge attitude toward Christmas. Chelsea and her round table panelists
Chris Franjola,
Annie Lederman and
Matt Braunger discuss the discovery that many teenagers still believe in Santa Claus, a teen-aged girl from New Jersey who wants Hasbro to make EZ Bake Ovens for boys as well, a Christmas gift Chelsea received from a fan named Matthew Smith, and a New York doctor who came up with "pokertox" which is a botox procedure to give poker players game face. Chelsea mentions a potential suit against her from male staffers, who state that she tries to make them kiss each other all the time. Chelsea chats with guest
Reese Witherspoon about recently giving birth to her third child who she named Tennessee, Chelsea caroling at Reese's recent Christmas party, and Reese being surprised at Chelsea's offer to babysit. As such, Reese tests Chelsea's babysitting skills.
