A man was caught in a £2.6m class A drugs bust just days before Christmas.
Jordan Wetherill was held at the flat in Glasgow's Shettleston where more than 100 blocks of cocaine and heroin were found last December 21.
On Friday a judge was shown a short police video of the raid with the huge haul of narcotics mainly lying taped up in the living room among Santa gift bags.
First-offender Wetherill now faces a lengthy jail-term after he pled guilty at the High Court in Glasgow to being concerned in the supply of both drugs.

The 23 year-old was found in the flat with another individual when officers swooped.
They initially discovered packages of heroin in a supermarket carrier bag.
Police then also seized a total of 103 blocks of white powder all marked with a “FedEx” style delivery company label.
Prosecutor Jennifer Nicholson-White told the court: “These were analysed and found to contain cocaine. Each block weighed approximately one kilogram.”
A lesser amount of the drug was further discovered.
The hearing was told that Wetherill's fingerprints at the scene also linked him to the crime.
The value of the cocaine was £2,591,000 with the heroin at £30,000.
Billy Lavelle, defending, had moved for bail for Wetherill, of the city's Parkhead, to be continued.
But, Lord Ghosh instead remanded him in custody as sentencing was deferred until next month in Edinburgh.
