[edit] Plot
A snowstorm traps everyone in the Tipton over Christmas. Zack and Cody think their parents want to get back together after they play Christmas music together in the lounge. Maddie makes sure London picks her for Secret Santa so she gets an expensive gift, but Mr. Moseby suggests that London makes a gift herself, and Maddie is shocked when London gives her a handmade sweater with three arms and no neck hole. Eventually Maddie accepts the gift because London was very sincere. Meanwhile, a couple named (coincidentally) Mary and Joseph are forced to stay at the Tipton when the bus breaks down. Later in the show, Zack and Cody get stuck in the elevator with Mary, who goes into labor immediately after the elevator gets stuck. Cody had studied a lot in health class at school, so he gave the woman directions as to what she must do while in labor (breathing, etc.), and then the elevator door is forced open by Arwin, and Mr. Moseby and Zack and Cody's parents help her deliver the baby, using London's gift as a blanket to wrap the newborn in.
[edit] Trivia
- There are two clips of this episode in the Opening Theme Song for Season 2.
- This was the first episode released direct-to-video.
- Arwin received a toy ambulance as a Christmas present.
- 12th appearance of Esteban.
- 6th appearance of Arwin.
- 2nd appearance of Kurt.
- This episode makes several references to the birth of Jesus, for the following;
- 1: Parents named Mary and Joseph.
- 2: Mary is pregnant.
- 3: When they got to the hotel (inn), there was no more room.
- 4: A child is born without the proper equipment.
- 5: The main difference is that the child is a girl instead of a boy.
[edit] Goofs
- Just before Maddie asks London to pick her as Secret Santa, London is turned towards Maddie in the background, but in her next shot she is facing the opposite direction.
- The baby is clean after being born, despite a lack of cleaning facilities on the elevator car. Maddie's sweater, which has been wrapped around the newborn, is also much too clean when handed back to her.
- Instead of yelling through the elevator doors, it would have made more sense for Zack and Cody to use the emergency phones that elevators come equipped with.
- London spells Maddie's name 'Matee', but she picked her name out of the bowl. She read her name, although she spelled it wrong. Perhaps she thought the name on the paper was spelled wrong.
