In this gigantically jolly episode of Christmas Countdown, hosts Eric Petersen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Danny Jordan are cranking up the comedy and counting down their Top 10 Funny Christmas Songs! From parody classics and novelty tunes to unintentionally hilarious holiday bops, the guys break down the funniest Christmas songs ever written — and explain exactly why each track cracks them up. Expect iconic giggle-worthy picks, deep-cut comedy gems, and maybe even a few songs you forgot were absolute comedic gold.

PLUS — Eric and Danny catch up on what’s new as they prepare for Christmas 2025, and Producer Chris returns with the fan-favorite game “Samtsirhc” (the backwards Christmas song game!) That’s right… 🎶 samtsirhc… where holiday hits are flipped in reverse and chaos, confusion, and Christmas magic ensue.
