Summary[]
The Rooster Teeth staff tries to promote the merchandise they have in the store for the holiday season, but mayhem ensues.
- A Bobblehead Toy of Burnie: Gus Sorola shows up and destroys Burnie's bobblehead before replacing it with his own.
- Two Fancy Ties: Ryan Haywood and Brandon Farmahini grow increasingly frustrated with each other until they engage in an all out brawl.
- Three Comfy PJs: Meg Turney, Ashley Jenkins, and Chris Demarais have a sleepover on the RT Podcast set, but Chris becomes possessed after they use a ouija board, and eventually strangles them and a priest (Cole Gallian) they called in.
- Four RWBY Plushies: Lindsay Jones sings in Ruby's voice while having the plushies dance around. On the 12th day, they get replaced by Gus's bobblehead.
- Five Golden Yangs: Barbara Dunkelman gets annoyed that the song is ignoring the fact she's Jewish. She tries (and fails) to make her part more Hanukkah-themed. On the 12th Day she remarks to Pongo that "no one understands us."
- Six Pints of Beer: Blaine Gibson drinks beer. Unfortunately, this just makes him progressively drunk, eventually throwing up on the 12th day.
- Seven Awesome Beanies: Matt Bragg, Jeremy Dooley, Kdin Jenzen, J.J. Castillo, Maggie Tominey, Kyle Taylor, and Josh Ornelas try to show off the seven beanies in the store, but Kyle is a zombie and eventually infects everyone else.
- Eight RT Posters: Kerry Shawcross shows off the posters they have, but on the 12th Day he catches Barbara drawing dicks on them.
- Nine Decks of Cards: Jordan Cwierz showers himself in the souvenir playing cards they have in the store, but just ends up covered in papercuts.
- Ten Reds and Blues: The Reds and Blues, led by Grif (Geoff Ramsey). On the 12th day Sarge beats him up.
- Eleven Bearded Adams: Eleven Adam Ellises. That's it.
- Twelve Days to Live: The Grim Reaper (Josh Flanagan) stands in flames staring at the camera.
