"The One With The Holiday Armadillo" is the tenth episode of the seventh season of Friends, which aired on NBC on December 14, 2000.
Phoebe brings in her late mother's Christmas memorial candy dish, shaped like a skull. Ross learns he's going to have Ben for the holidays, and he intends to teach his son about their Jewish heritage. Ben is accustomed to Susan dressing up as Santa on Christmastime; Ross is concerned about Ben being exposed to only Christmas traditions. Ross certainly makes his mark on Ben, but the idea of a year without Santa sounds like a serious punishment.
Phoebe finds out the renovations on her apartment are finished, and she's afraid that Rachel is too happy living with Joey and won't want to move back to Phoebe's place, so she gives Joey gifts intended to drive Rachel away. First she gives him a drum set, but Rachel seems to love it. Then, when that doesn't work, she gives Joey a tarantula, which scares Joey but not Rachel, who had one as a kid (which was eaten by her cat, which killed the cat itself). Phoebe then admits to Rachel that their apartment is now ready but she is afraid that she will lose her as a roommate. Rachel assures Phoebe she still wants to live with her and the two visit the renovated apartment, but it has been turned into a single-bedroom place. As a result, Rachel decides to stay at Joey's apartment while Phoebe moves back in, though they are both sad that they will miss living with each other.

•Between takes, all the cast had a go on the drums.
•In this episode, Monica reveals she doesn't plan on changing her name to Bing when she marries Chandler.
•Rachel says she enjoys living with Joey and presumably intended staying there for some time. However she moves in with Ross in about 12 months time after becoming pregnant.
•Phoebe continues to live alone until Mike moves in with her.
•Ross tells Ben that he's part Jewish. Although not specifically stated, Rachel is implied to also be Jewish as in one episode she refers to her grandmother as Bubbe.
•Joey dresses up as Superman in this episode. In "The One With The Halloween Party", Phoebe dresses as Supergirl.
•When Ross is on the couch telling Ben about Hanukkah, Ben's hair varies from shot to shot. In the first shot it's flat and in the next shot it's spiked up at the front. His hair stays spiked up for a few shots and then returns to flat.
•When the conversation between Ross and Ben ends, Ross helps him off the sofa, however in the next shot Ben is sitting back on the sofa.
•At the end of the scene, Ben looks straight into the audience.
•In this episode Chandler fails every time he tries to slip money, even though he did it perfectly when he and Joey impersonated Richard after he taught them the trick in season 2 in "The One Where Old Yeller Dies". It's especially odd that he asks Monica, "Richard used to do it didn't he?" after learning it initially from Richard.
•He could have forgotten how to do it correctly after so long and not having to practice it frequently.
•When Phoebe walks in on Rachel playing the drums in Joey's apartment, she closes the door behind her. However, when she leaves the apartment, the door has already been opened.
