Janine, who Joey is warming to, has bagged an invitation to dance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, and she brings Joey, Monica and Ross along for the ride. Monica and Ross are, shall we say, a little too thrilled about it. Meanwhile, Rachel, Phoebe and Chandler go hunting for their Christmas presents, because who among us hasn't had a little feel of the wrapping paper in December? It is a joyful, daft half hour with Christmas and New Year colliding, perfect for the lull between the two when nobody has the energy to do anything but laugh.
