Every Christmas, there's that one house on the street that outdoes itself with a dazzling array of lights, and if you've ever wondered about the mishaps behind such spectacles, pull up a chair by the fire. Our 10th annual Christmas special is a hearty blend of nostalgia and laughter as we share our personal holiday antics, cherish cinematic moments, and celebrate a decade-long journey in podcasting. From the Griswold family's yuletide disasters in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" to the unforgettable pottery scene in "Ghost," we're toasting to the films that shape our festive joy—and sometimes, our parenting reflections.

Amid the clinking of eggnog glasses, we honor the milestones of our show and Deadbolt Films, reminiscing about cherished memories, including the poignant success of "Star Wars, Sanctuary Moon." We're donning our Santa hats and diving into discussions on everything from British culinary delights like bubble and squeak to the quirky, less conventional "Rare Exports." Our festive foray wouldn't be complete without sharing those laugh-out-loud moments from our favorite holiday films, and yes, there will be strawberry milk.

As the tinsel twinkles, we wrap up this special episode with a bow, reflecting on the highs and lows of holiday horror cinema and the candid confessions of Christmas chaos. From the slapstick calamity of Cousin Eddie's antics to the tender moments where the heart of the season shines through, join us as we explore the ties that bind us in the podcasting community and the movie magic that keeps us returning to these stories year after year. So stoke that fire and join us for an episode brimming with Christmas spirit, a sprinkle of movie magic, and lots of laughs.
