Six plot descriptions for Jingle All the Way (1996). One is the real plot. Five are convincing fakes. Read them and guess which is real.

1. Someone obsessed with winning their neighborhood's annual holiday decorating contest keeps buying increasingly elaborate displays until their garage collapses under the weight of a giant illuminated sleigh.
2. A workaholic mattress salesman promises his disappointed son a sold-out Turbo Man action figure on Christmas Eve, forcing him to frantically race across town competing with other desperate shoppers to find one.
3. A formerly competitive gymnast coaching a ragtag youth team in Duluth pushes her kids so relentlessly through the holiday season that her own daughter quietly stops signing up for her classes.
4. A clumsy but determined elf-in-training at the North Pole accidentally ships himself to suburban Ohio and must convince a skeptical ten-year-old girl to help him return before Christmas morning.
5. Two squabbling cousins road-trip from Denver to their grandmother's Vermont farmhouse carrying a car full of wrapped presents, and every wrong turn somehow makes the holiday trip more chaotic and memorable.
6. A reindeer born without antlers wanders far beyond the familiar snowy hills and discovers a bustling human Christmas market, where belonging and acceptance arrive in completely unexpected and wonderfully messy ways.
