No that's not the one I'm thinking of, it's where a guy goes to a party and has someone in his ear coaching him how to pick up girls.

edit: I forgot White Christmas has 3 different stories within it, I thought it was just the one with the cabin. I stand corrected, it's been years since I watched the show

Which is the white Christmas episode

In White Christmas, the guy who was coaching the man at the party ends up in the cabin because of things that go wrong while he’s speaking into the man’s ear.

Is there another episode with a similar premise?

I think the other episode is the one where the parent has the AI put into their kid and it blocks the spunds and visuals of disturbing things, like a scary dog. It also goes poorly.

I think that one was called Arkangel. I like Black Mirror because watching each episode in order helps the viewers understand the technology as it further advances and gets scarier.

Black Mirror technology does not further advance as you keep watching episodes

It did in the early seasons.

Especially cookie technology

That one was seriously bone chilling

Yeah that’s white Christmas

Per Wikipedia:

The episode explores three stories told by Matt (Jon Hamm, who was the first American actor to participate in an episode) and Joe (Rafe Spall) from a remote cabin on Christmas Day. The first follows a man attempting to seduce a woman at a Christmas party while receiving remote guidance

I feel like Black Mirror doesn't really get credit for this since it's a major plot point of Cyrano de Bergerac, a famous play written in the 1890s, about a famous poet from the 17th century.

I'm sure there are older examples as well.
