[edit] Plot synopsis
At a Christmas party, Detective Terry Chasen dies from poison put into a bottle of port wine, which was a gift for Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine). Monk and Natalie are set to find the killer - and discover that the bottle was sent by Chasen's rejected ex-girlfriend Alice Westergren (Rachael Harris), a police officer, who planned that Stottlemeyer's gift would finally be given to Chasen. Alice is caught and Mr. Monk enjoys a White Christmas and the last present from his deceased wife Trudy which he found after she died.
Notes/Errors: In the opening, the killer is shown poisoning the bottle of port by using a syringe to inject the poison through the cork and into the port, but when Detective Chasen opens the bottle and pours a drink, the bottle has a typical port stopper: a cork stopper with a hard plastic cap. The syringe and needle would not have penetrated the the plastic cap.
