Synopsis
On the morning of Christmas Eve, Sam and Tucker are putting up a Christmas Tree in Danny's house, but Danny says that he doesn't see a point in Christmas. Sam tells Danny to cheer up, but he says that Christmas isn't his thing. Sam tells him that she loves Christmas, and she doesn't even celebrate it, since she celebrates Hanuka instead. Danny uses his powers to finish the tree and leaves the house in anger.

The three go to School, where Valerie asks Danny to come to her Christmas Party after school, but he shrugs her off angry, due to it being about Christmas. Valerie gets upset, but Tucker says that Danny hasn't really been for Christmas since his parents died.

Later that day, the Ghost Portal is finally finished, but Vlad tells them not to turn it on until he returns. Danny decides to test it anyway, so Tucker turns it on. Danny transforms into his ghost form and prepares to fly in, but a gauge of red energy grabs him and pulls him in.

Inside the Ghost Zone, Danny sees nothing, but an endless green place filled with purple doors. Suddenly Danny is confronted by another ghost, with a blue face, black hair and gotee, red eyes, with a black and white uniform with a red cape. Danny tries to fight back, but the other ghost severely beats him. After a long fight, Danny is bruised and bleeding, when suddenly, a portal back to Earth opens up and he flies through it, but before he does, the evil ghost proclaims himself as Plasmius. Back in the lab, Vlad arrives to see Sam patching up an injured Danny, who is still in his ghost form. Vlad tells them that he knew all along that Danny was the Phantom.

Afterwards, Danny meets up with Valerie to apologize, and tells her that Christmas hasn't been the same since his parents died, and that the Christmas after they died, Jazz tried to make Christmas for Danny, but when he saw the presents under the tree, he thought they were back. Danny gets a sad look on his face and Valerie hugs him.

Early Christmas morning, Danny sneaks out of the house to visit his parents' grave. When he returns home, Sam, Tucker, Vlad, and Valerie and her father are there with Jazz and they all exchange presents. Danny gives Jazz a necklace he found that used to belong to their mother.

Vlad leaves early and returns to his house. As he goes into his own lab, where he has a Ghost Portal of his own, his eyes glow red.
