[Vanna White](http://time.com/76710/wheel-of-fortune-vanna-white-6000/) is known for being the picture of poise and grace on ABC’s [_Wheel of Fortune_](http://time.com/3648135/wheel-of-fortune-contestant-solves-13-letter-puzzle-during-first-try/). But on a recent episode of the long-running game show, White had a bit of a mishap involving her dress and a holiday prop from the set. Although the scene wasn’t shown during the game, host [Pat Sajak](http://time.com/3710579/pat-sajak-wheel-of-fortune-climate-change/) insisted that it air at the end of the episode during a behind-the-scenes clip.

In the segment, a wrapped gift box decorating the puzzle board becomes entangled in White’s dress and drags behind her as she walks across the stage. “It’s like you’re walking your dog,” said a laughing Sajak.
