Get ready for the surprise. vs Get ready for a surprise.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Get ready for the surprise.' implies that the speaker is referring to a specific surprise. 'Get ready for a surprise.' is more general and can be used in any surprise situation.
