Cory wonders if he’s being henpecked when Topanga spends the holidays with the Matthews family and takes charge of the festivities. Cory (Ben Savage) plans to surprise Topanga (Danielle Fishel), who’s spending Christmas at his house, with a promise ring that means they’ll be together forever. But he’s unnerved by moments of doubt after learning that he and Topanga – who have so much in common—have very different holiday traditions: she drinks cider rather than eggnog; she prefers a fresh-cut tree to an aluminum one; and she opens gifts on Christmas Eve, not in the morning. When it seems Topanga’s unwilling to compromise, Cory has serious misgivings about the ring – and their future.
