Gets eager getting free seasonal gift? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

easter egg

'seasonal gift?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gets eager getting free' is the wordplay.
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'free' indicates an anagram.
'gets'+'eager'='getseager'
'getseager' is an anagram of 'EASTER EGG'.

(Other definitions for easter egg that I've seen before include "Segregate into popular post-Lenten sweet" , "festive gift" , "Edible seasonal symbol" , "DVD feature?" , "Segregate from traditional chocolate ovum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
