- Hello.
This episode is sponsored by TikTok.
Which means
we're gonna show you something
from TikTok right now.
Here is a message from one of our favorite creators
@SharksDumpster
- Does that boring old elf on the shelf
not do it for you anymore? (booing)
We got something brand new
that will really spice things up
this holiday season.
Sarah in the corner!
Just like the elf on the shelf,
she's there
and then she's not.
Except this time,
it's a little more awkward then before.
You can get your own today
for the low price of free-ninety-nine.
Sarah in the corner.
Oh God, why does she stand like that?

Bye.
- [Host] We brought together seven Christmas lovers.
- I love the holidays.
- [Host] One is a Scrooge.
If the group discovers who the liar is
they'll split a cash prize.
If the liar survives,
they win the entire prize.
- Why don't we do,
everyone like Christmas movies?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- All right, I really love "Jingle All The Way."
- Mine is white Christmas.
- So mine is "Home Alone".
Classic.
And "Batman Returns". (laughing)
- Mine is definitely- - Christmas movie.
- "Elf"'s gotta be number one, you know.
- My favorite is "Fred Claus",
then will be "The Grinch".
- For me it's "White Christmas".
- The childhood classic
"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".
"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
and "A Christmas Carol".
- Wow, you all sound like you love Christmas,
(laughing) so it's gonna be tough.
(bell ringing)
(lounge music remix of "Deck the Halls")
- Yeah, it was the Batman comment. (laughing)
(buzzer sounding) - Ooph.
Ouch, all right.
"Batman Returns", "Die Hard",
I mean, these are all Christmas movies to me.
- It sounded a little iffy
and it sounded like he was trying
to think on the fly for an answer.
The main question we should ask is,
why do we like Christmas?
- I like Christmas because
I have a really tight knit family.
So for us, that's a time that we get to just be together.
- It's about Jesus to me,
but at the same time
there's also a lot of other stuff
like getting together with family
and just giving gifts is always fun.
- Yeah, same.
I'm a Catholic.
I also like it 'cause it's December
so it's my birthday and my mom's birthday.
So it's just celebration after celebration.
- Its like, the season of cold and daylight savings,
and everyone's depressed.
But then there's Christmas!
So there's the whole spirit of happiness
and just seeing your friends and family.
- I spend a lot of my time
with my family during Christmas.
It's also my birthday
so it's like a huge celebration
- Question, do you get double presents?
Or do you get- (all laughing)
- I know people whose birthday is Christmas.
- My brother's birthday is Christmas too.
- Oh really? - Yeah.
- Yeah, I get double presents.
So yeah. - That's nice.
- I am pretty happy about it.
- All right, when do y'all think
is the best time to put up the tree?
Like what do y'all go Thanksgiving?
- It depends.
Yeah, after Thanksgiving.
But last year I had my tree all year round.
My mom's really into it, so. - We put it up
before Thanksgiving,
'cause it's something we like to look at
when we're eating Thanksgiving dinner.
- Yeah. - I've seen that.
- To have the tree
and like the music and stuff.
- Would you tell your kids about Santa Claus?
- Heck yeah!
- Actually I think that like,
the real life Santa Claus was a pretty cool person.
- Yeah, I can see that.
- I think that you can raise your kids being like,
"Yeah, Santa Claus is a real person."
- That's what I was brought up learning is,
obviously a season of forgiveness, of giving.
My family really wanted me to just learn
about like the core meaning of Christmas,
so I think that's something that was-
(bell ringing)
(lounge music remix of "Deck the Halls")
I was honestly mainly suspicious of the guys.
I just felt like you can rely on girls more
to be into things like that.
- I just thought she was piggybacking
off other people's answers.
(buzzer sounding)
- It's not me y'all.
- The question was
when do you guys put up your Christmas trees or something?
And then he said like,
"Oh no, that has to be after Thanksgiving.
"Like, it can't be too early."
So then that threw me off
and then I was like, hmm.
I think I need to get him,
I think it's him.
(laughing) - So cute.
- [Host] If everyone feels confident
that you already caught the mole,
you can end the game now.
If the majority has doubt, the game will continue.
Raise your hand if you have any doubt
and would like to continue the game.
- You guys are all really convincing.
(all laughing)
I'm horrified right now.
- Yeah.
- Do you guys have any specific
like, family traditions that you guys do?
- For me growing up in Puerto Rico,
we have this thing called parrandas.
Which is like,
yeah, are you familiar?
- I'm Puerto Rican too. - Oh really?
Oh cool!
Yeah, yeah.
It's kinda like caroling,
but you go house to house.
And there's a lot of eating,
there's a lot of like, people have instruments to play
and sing carols.
- Every single year,
me and my family try to come up with
like a specific Christmas pajama
that we're gonna wear for Christmas Day.
(all laughing) It sounds a little cheesy,
but yeah. - That's cute.
- Mm, I don't know.
I'm like, everyone kind of wears pajamas, so.
- Instead of doing gingerbread houses,
we do gingerbread trains.
- Really? - Cool.
- Yeah, gingerbread trains you guys.
- Do you like cut them up and like make them?
- No, so you literally just get Graham crackers
and you make the train.
But it's fun because,
obviously you can put
whatever candy you wanna put on it.
It's so cute.
I mean, I'd suggest doing it.
(laughing)
- I never thought about that before.
That's a good idea.
- Do you guys have any Christmas dinner specific foods
that you guys eat at Christmas time, or?
- Yeah. - Just tamales.
- Same. - Well you're both Spanish.
- Yeah. - Oh my God, yeah.
Like here, since they sell tamales,
I'm like, "Where can I get them tamales."
- I really love tres leches cake.
And, like I said - Yes!
- its my birthday so. - Oh my god yes!
- I get a huge one and they just bring it over.
- This is like, a very Latino square.
(all laughing) - I know I'm like, hold up.
(bell ringing)
(lounge music remix of "Deck the Halls")
- She was a little quiet.
And at times she didn't really say much details.
(buzzer sounding)
- She just like, seemed a little too put together.
Very nice and sweet.
And I was looking for a little bit of grit.
- She wasn't saying any specific details
besides her train.
I felt like everything she was saying
was just more stereotypical
of what people tend to do on the holidays.
Especially Hispanic families.
- [Host] Raise your hand if you have any doubts
and you would like to continue to game.
All right.
- All right guys, this is go time.
I wanna ask the hard-hitting questions.
I wanna play devil's advocate, okay.
Why, if you were the mole,
I'm not saying that you're the mole,
why would you hate Christmas?
I just wanted to catch somebody all nervous and sweating.
- Maybe someone had like, a really bad experience.
- Oh, you're right.
- Like something bad happened.
- Maybe like a death on the day.
- Oh dang.
- A grinch. (laughing)
- I know someone who doesn't like Christmas
because they had a death.
- I know that's the premise for movies, isn't it?
Like Hallmark movies?
Like, "I hate Christmas."
- Just knowing the people
that I know that don't like Christmas,
mostly just 'cause it's like, so commercial
and stressful. - That too, yeah.
- The capitalist aspect of it,
like they might not buy into buying stuff for people, maybe.
- Can I ask you guys really quick?
How do you rank the other holidays?
Go!
- Rank them, like one, two-
- Yeah, i'll go.
I like Christmas. - Christmas,
Halloween. - Oh Christmas,
Halloween,
um, maybe my birthday.
(all laughing)
Then New Year's.
- Yeah, I really like Easter.
I like 4th of July.
Thanksgiving.
- Oh Thanksgiving, 'cause of all the food.
Good food, yeah.
It's somewhere in there.
- Christmas, Thanksgiving,
Halloween's dead last.
- [All] Aww.
- I love Halloween 'cause it's my anniversary too.
- [All] Ahh.
- Yeah, that's sweet.
I dunno, Halloween just isn't my thing. (laughing)
- You don't like costumes?
- No, not really. - Interesting.
- I didn't get into it.
- I feel good.
I feel really good.
(clock ticking)
(bell ringing)
(lounge music remix of "Deck the Halls")
(buzzer sounding)
- Good luck guys.
- Bye man.
- [Host] Raise your hand if you have any doubt
and you would like to continue the game.
All right, so.
- I'm nervous. - Me too.
- If the lights turn green,
you voted the liar out.
If the lights turn red
the liar's still in the box
and you lose.
(pensive drumbeat)
- Oh my God. - Yes!
(cheering)
- Good job.
Good job, good job.
(laughing)
Just good job.
- [Host] Now, if the mole could step forward
and reveal himself.
- Oh!
- I really thought I was gonna win.
- He almost made it to the end.
- Wow. - Oh!
- My birthday's on Christmas, so.
- I knew it, I knew it.
I was like, because of that.
Because of that.
- My family obviously made it clear that like,
I was more important than the holiday.
- Oh that's nice.
- But when it came to friends it was more of a like,
"Oh it's Christmas!
"And, oh yeah, it's your birthday.
"I forgot."
- Aw.
- Yeah. - Okay.
(laughing)
- Merry Christmas, y'all.
- When we had to list off the holidays
on how we ranked them,
as soon as I threw Halloween at the very end
I kind of saw the faces that everybody made.
Those faces just straight up told me like,
"Uh, that's it.
"You're out."
- Once I found out that Amelia was Puerto Rican,
(laughing) I don't know, just something.
There was a connection there.
Somewhat of an alliance
- Throughout the rounds they had gained my trust.
And I was like, "If one of them is the mole,
"then I give up."
- Hi guys!
