"Press Your Luck," the holiday show.
Tonight, these three players
will try to ho-ho-hold on to Big Bucks,
but they'll have to avoid the Whammy,
as they play the most exciting game of their lives.
From Haven Studios in Hollywood,
it's time to press...your...luck!

Welcome to the most wonderful "Press Your Luck" of the year.
It's our second annual holiday extravaganza.
Come on. Deck these halls!
[ "Jingle Bells" playing ]
♪♪
Alright, let's meet our contestants.
♪♪
A cookie maker from Spokane, Washington,
it's Amber, everyone.
Hi, Elizabeth.
A hair and makeup artist from Cleveland, Ohio,
it's Jess. Hey, Elizabeth!
And finally, a father of five from Arkansas,
please welcome Dale. Hi, Elizabeth! Whoo!
Good luck to all three of you.
Tonight, you take on our Big Board.
It's lit up like a Christmas tree
and has just as many presents.
And every time you stop the board like this, "Stop,"
you add money to the bank just like that.
The player with the most cash and prizes in their bank
at the end of Round 2 gets to keep it
and goes on to our Bonus Game for a shot at $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
First thing's first, let's earn some spins.
I have three questions in this round. Here we go.
Kwanzaa is celebrated for 7 days,
and some people celebrate 12 days of Christmas.
But tell me how many nights
or, as Adam Sandler says, how many crazy nights...
Amber. Eight.
...is Hanukkah? Amber said it's eight.
Jess, is it eight, five, nine?
Eight. What do you think, Dale?
Eight. It is, of course,
eight crazy nights of Hanukkah.
Amber, you picked up three spins.
Jess picked up a spin, and Dale picked up a spin.
Question 2. Listen up, blockheads.
In a YouGov survey about holiday viewing habits,
how many out of every five adults
said they had seen "A Charlie Brown Christmas"?
Dale. Four.
Amber, is it four out of five,
three out of five, five out of five?
I'm going to say three.
What do you think, Jess? I say three.
It's four!
I mean, everybody's seen it.
I'm so sorry. No spins for Amber or Jess,
but, Dale, you picked up three spins,
bringing your total to four.
Okay. Question 3.
I'm throwing together a winter-themed party,
and I'm going big. If I wanted to hold my party
in a chilly, dome-shaped structure...
Dale. Igloo.
...that shares its name with a brand of cooler,
I'd call it a what?
Amber, is it an igloo, a snow globe, an ice hotel?
Igloo. What do you think, Jess?
Igloo.
It is, of course, the igloo.
That means Amber picked up a spin for four,
Jess picked up a spin for two,
and Dale picked up three spins for seven.
That's all the questions for this round.
Now let's see if we can turn these spins
into cold, hard cash up on that Big Board.
Let's go!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
We've got thousands of dollars
and some extra-festive prizes on our Big Board tonight.
But beware of the Whammy.
[ Sour note plays ]
Land on him, he takes away all your cash and prizes,
leaving you with nothing.
If you rack up four Whammies, you're out of the game.
Alright, let's get to it. We will start with the player
who has the fewest spins, and that's you, Jess.
Whoo! Let's go. Take it away.
Alright. Big Bucks.
I want to take Logan ice skating.
Let's go. Big Bucks.

Ooh, a custom ice sculpture.
This includes a live ice carving show
and a one-on-one tutorial.
Are you ready to see how much that's worth for Jess' bank?
$2,325.
Yes. Alright, Jess, one more spin.
Press your luck or pass?
I'm going to press my luck. Big Bucks!
I want those big bucks.
I want the ice skating. Let's go. Big Bucks.

And stop.
[ Sour note plays ] Oh.

My brothers and sisters,
we shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves.
We should be fighting them.
[ Laughter ]
You're next, Banks.
I hate when he involves me.
I'm so sorry, Amber. Your bank is down to zero.
However, you still have one final spin.
Would you like to press your luck with that spin,
build that bank back up?
I got to press my luck.

What an exciting time we're having here.
Dale, the big winner in Round 1, 14,210 bucks.
This holiday party is just getting started.
Don't go anywhere. "Press Your Luck's"
coming back right after this.
Welcome back to your newest Yuletide tradition,
the "Press Your Luck" holiday extravaganza.
Before we jump into Round 2,
let's learn a little more about our contestants.
So, Amber, tell me about yourself.
I'm a mom of three kiddos.
I'm married to my best friend for 15 years.
Congrats. Yeah.
And I'm a cookier.
I see cookie cutter addict on your shirt.
So what kind of cookies do you do? What do you make?
Do you make, like, custom shapes and designs?
Yes. When I say cookier,
a lot of people think chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin.
I do decorated cookies. I pipe everything by hand,
and I love Christmas cookies,
so I do snowman, snowflake, Santa.
And I've even made a "Cocaine Bear" cookie.
Everybody's favorite holiday movie.
Well, welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Amber, it's so great to have you. Good luck tonight.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Jess is from Cleveland, Ohio. Tell me about yourself.
I am a single, ready to mingle, mom.
I'm also a Navy vet of four years,
and I'm currently -- [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
Jess, thank you for your service.
Thank you. Thank you. Hoorah.
So, Jess, what are the holidays like at your house?
So, currently, our house looks like a Santa's workshop.
I blow it up with lights and decorations.
I have trees in every single room.
And it's a competition in my neighborhood,
so my house has to be the best.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck," Jess.
Thank you so much.
Dale from Arkansas. Tell me about yourself, Dale.
I'm a father of five beautiful children.
Five kids. The holidays must be crazy at your house.
The holidays are crazy,
but it's a very, very special time for my family.
My hometown has a Christmas parade,
and I dress up as a snowman.
We have a reindeer, a snowman, and Santa Claus,
and we stand out by the road. People drive by in their car,
and they'll let their kids get out, and they'll take pictures
with us, and we'll give them toys that are donated.
What a great tradition.
Yeah. It's a very, very great thing to do.
Well, Dale, good luck to you tonight.
Welcome to "Press Your Luck."
Alright, let's jump back into the game, shall we?
It's time for Round 2.
I've got four questions this time. Here we go.
He's known as Santa Claus, AKA Kris Kringle,
AKA Saint Nick.
But tell me, in this sentence, what does AKA stand for?
Jess. Also known as.
Amber, is it also known as,
any kind anywhere, and Krampus also?
Also known as.
What do you think, Dale? Also known as.
It is, of course, also known as.
So Amber picked up a spin, Jess picked up three spins,
and Dale picked up a spin.
Alright. Question 2.
Bing Crosby dreamed of a white Christmas,
and Patti LaBelle became an Internet legend
with her epic performance of "This Christmas."
But according to his top-40 hit, what kind of Christmas will --
Amber? Blue Christmas.
...what kind of Christmas will Elvis have without you?
Jess, is it blue, cruel, lonesome?
Blue. What do you think, Dale?
Blue.
It is, of course, Elvis' famous "Blue Christmas."
So Amber picked up three spins, Jess picked up a spin,
and Dale picked up another spin.
Alright, Question 3. One of my favorite
Yuletide traditions is watching special holiday episodes
of classic sitcoms, like that one episode of "Friends"
where Ross teaches his son, Ben, about the story of Hanukkah
while dressed up as what animal?
Jess.
Armadillo. Dressed up as what animal
that also happens to be the official small mammal of Texas?
Amber, is it armadillo, jackrabbit, prairie dog?
Armadillo. What do you think, Dale?
Armadillo. It is, in fact, armadillo.
Amber picked up a spin, Jess picked up three spins,
and Dale picked up another spin.
And I just found out Texas has an official "small mammal."
Alright. Question 4.
When it comes to holiday decorating, is it ever too soon?
As reported last year by the Spruce, the most popular day
for Americans to decorate for Christmas
is the day after what other holiday?
Dale. Thanksgiving.
Amber, is it Thanksgiving, Halloween, Labor Day?
Thanksgiving. What do you think, Jess?
Thanksgiving.
I mean, I know what I do after Thanksgiving.
I take a nap. And then I decorate!
That means Amber picked up a spin,
bringing your total to six.
Jess picked up a spin, bringing your total to eight,
and Dale picked up three spins, bringing his total to six.
That's all the questions for this round,
so let's take these spins to the Big Board.
Here we go.

It's Round 2, so we are doubling the Big Bucks to $10,000.

If you land on that square,
you will win 40 of...something.
40 fruitcakes. 40 swans a-swimming.
We don't know. I hope one of you finds out.
Amber, you have the least amount of money, so you'll spin first.

while I talk to the supporters.
Who are we meeting tonight, Amber?
I have my husband, Tom,
who I've been married to for 15 years.
Hi, Tom.
He's pretty much like the constant in my life.
I don't want to get too emotional, but I love him
and I'm glad he's here with me today.
I bet.
And then this is my sister, Breanne.
She's a nurse. Hi.
Welcome. She's been my built-in best friend since I've been born.
Breanne, tell me about your sister up here.
She may be my younger sister, but I still look up to her.

Alright. Good luck to everybody tonight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Amber, you're going to face off
against the Whammy over five rounds.
At the end of each round,
you can take whatever money is in your bank.
All those cash and prizes, you can walk away,
or you can stay and play on.
The longer you stay in the game,
the bigger the money gets on the Big Board.
And if you make it to our final round, the Big Bucks Bonanza,
one spin could be worth $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
But as ever, there are Whammies still out there.
And if you hit one, he takes all your money,
all your cash and prizes,
sends your bank right back down to zero.
Four Whammies puts you out of the game.
If your bank in our bonus round ever reaches $500,000,
the game is over and we send you home
a millionaire.

In this first round, the Big Bucks are worth $10,000.
But there's always more than just cash up there on our board,
because we love to pick out personalized prizes
just for our contestants.
And, Amber, this is your first one.
It's Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park.

This is 360 hours of jump time,
plus birthday parties for all your kids

Whoo! I have kids,
so I know how much fun they have at these jumping parks.
My kids absolutely love it,
and I can't lie, I love watching.
It's pretty entertaining. So this would be so cool.
Alright, let's put the Flying Squirrel Trampoline Park
up on the board for Amber and the kids.
But I got to put another prize up there.
Here we go. Show Amber what it is.
It's CrimeCon. Aah!
Amber, we are flying you and four guests
to Orlando CrimeCon for a full VIP experience.
This is an immersive, weekend-long event
dedicated to all things true crime and mystery.
This is your thing, right? It is my thing.
When I decorate cookies, which I do for hours
and hours and hours, I listen to true crime podcasts.
And so it's kind of my jam.
It's kind of my cookie, I should say.
Well, let's put that trip to Orlando CrimeCon
up on the board for Amber. Alright.
We're going to start off this first round with five spins.
Are you ready to start building that bank?

dropping my kids off at school in that.
And I heard you keep your cookie supplies in your car, too.
So you need a big car.
I do. I'm always transporting cookies from here and there.
And so I need some more space to put those in
and get those cookies back out.
You're running a cookie business.
I am! I'm running a cookie business.
For goodness' sakes. Yeah.
Well, I can't just give you this, then.
I got to give you something for the cookie business.
What else should I give her?
It's a cookie truck.
[ Laughing ] Oh!

This includes KitchenAid commercial double oven,
stove top with griddle,
supplies from the Sweet Dreams Shop,
plus baking supplies from Williams-Sonoma
and a 3-D printer

I am constantly doing pickups for cookies,
always in the back end out of my car.
This is, like, next level.
I'm gonna be rolling in style.
Yeah, baby.
Well, we're gonna call the Kia and the cookie truck
Cookie Palooza!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! Oh, my gosh.
Elizabeth: This is CrimeCon in Orlando,
an immersive weekend of all things true crime and mystery.
I don't think this is real life right now.
And yet you're going, and it's worth how much for the bank?
$14,700. Whoo! Yeah!
Wow!
Amber, you have a huge decision to make right now.
You can walk away. You just won Cookie Palooza.
$214,993 in the bank.
However, you can stay
and press your luck one final time in Round 5.
And if you decide to stay and play on,
the Big Bucks will top out at a life-changing $100,000.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And we are bringing back Big Bucks
from all the previous rounds,
because this is "Press Your Luck"'s Big Bucks Bonanza!
Every amount on the board is Big Bucks.
$10,000...$25,000...
$50,000...
Whoo! ...$75,000.
And the biggest bucks of all -- $100,000!
Plus let's not forget --
If your bank ever hits 500 grand, the game's over,
because we automatically bump those winnings to $1 million.
Whoo! [ Cheers and applause ]
So, Amber, this is a huge decision.
Do you want to walk away...
or do you want to stay and play the Big Bucks Bonanza
and maybe be "Press Your Luck"'s first millionaire?
[ Suspenseful music plays, audience shouting indistinctly ]
What are you feeling? What are you thinking?
That is so much money, and I want that cookie stuff so bad.
But Disney is still on the board.
[ Laughing ] Yeah.
[ Music continues, audience shouting indistinctly ]
The Ford Explorer is still on the board,
and I can still be a millionaire today.
Yeah!
I'm gonna press my luck!
Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ] That is a huge decision.
Yes.
Alright. She's gonna put it all on the line.
Boy. I want to remind you right now
about my favorite space on the board.
It's Prize-A-Palooza! [ Choir vocalizing ]
It is a game-changer.
If you hit Prize-A-Palooza, you win every prize
visible on the board when you press that button.
It's like waking up on Christmas morning
and getting a new bike, an Xbox, and a pony.
Whoo!
Except for you, it could be a Ford Explorer
and a trip to Disney.
You only have to take three spins in this round.
You got to beat this Whammy,
and I know you can do it, Amber.
And they know you can do it.
You got this. You got this. You got it.
Prize-A-Palooza.
Whoo! $1 million.
