SANTa's little helpers

sANTa's Little Helpers is the nineteenth episode of season one of A.N.T. Farm. It first aired on December 9, 2011.

Plot
Everyone is in the Christmas spirit at Webster High School, including Principal Skidmore, who asks Chyna, Olive and Fletcher to create special toys using their talents to distribute to needy kids. After starting to create musical jack-in-the-boxes, the ANTs are shocked to discover Skidmore has been selling them online for profit. They then come up with a plan to secretly booby trap the gifts so they will go off in Skidmore's face. However, when Skidmore decides to donate the last batch of toys to an orphanage, the ANTs must dress up as elves (except for Chyna who is dressed like Santa Claus), sneak through the chimney, and get the toys back before they go off. They don't find them in time and they do go off, but when they do the children think it was cool and think that Skidmore is the kindest woman ever for donating the toys.

Sub plots
Lexi and Paisley are hired by the mall gift wrapping department.

Cameron helps Darryl to spy on Roxanne to find out what she's getting him for Christmas so he can match the price. They end up deciding to get a hammock together.
