"Fake Plastic Snow" is an episode from the dramedy series Ugly Betty. It is the eleventh episode overall in the series, but in the United States, Canada, and Australia, it is the tenth episode, which was written by Veronica Becker and Sarah Kucserka and directed by Jim Hayman. The title of this episode refers to the Radiohead song "Fake Plastic Trees" from their album The Bends.

Betty is at her desk working on an expense report for Daniel when Henry comes by and asks her if she's making her Christmas list. He spots mistletoe on her desk. She says it’s just holly, but he kisses her anyway and tells her she's the girl he's been looking for. But it looks like this was all a fantasy as Betty wakes up in a shock from this dream and glares at the photo of Walter by her bed before throwing the sheets over her face.

Back at Daniel's place, Sofia wakes up beside Daniel. Worried that she will miss her flight, she says that they need a breather so they can see if what they have is real. He insists that he loves her but Sofia says it's just hormones and sex. If this is real, he should see other women while she's gone. If he doesn't get sweaty palms with them, maybe he does love her. He says that this is crazy but she tells him that this will convince her that he really feels this only for her.

Back at the Suarezes, Betty tells Hilda her dream, but Hilda tells her that dreams don't mean anything and tells her sister should just avoid Henry and everything will be fine. Meanwhile, Ignacio, who was arrested by Immigration a few days ago but was let go, comes down and Betty gives him his pills. He has a caseworker coming to work with him next month. Hilda gets in a fight with their neighbor Gina after she runs over her Christmas tree while it's sitting in the street.

Meanwhile, in Wilhelmina's office, Marc, in the wake of him now knowing the truth of his boss' intentions, is bringing Wilhelmina her breakfast and asking if Nico is coming home. He lithely snatches her whole wheat bagel causing her to almost bite his head off before he reminds her that they’re 'sharing things' now that he knows her little secret.

Over at an office meeting in the conference room, Daniel announces that Betty has been offered a job and she will be accepting resumes for her position. The news brings a round of applause for Miss Suarez. Amanda and Marc wonder if they need to invite her to her own leaving party. Betty is surprised he's announced this, but he says that her going to work with Sofia is what's best for her. Amanda is already confident that she's the best one to take the job. Daniel then takes Betty into his office to tell her that Sofia wants him to have an affair while she's away. He's through with being a bachelor and places half a dozen rings across his desk to try to pick out which will be perfect.
