Title: Part 2-Hallmark 2023 Countdown to Christmas Rankings with guest Joe the Christmas Aficionado
Christmas Cousins

Welcome back Christmas Cousins to an episode too momentous to be contained within one episode so we are releasing it in two parts!

 

Part One kicks off with our special guest, Joe, the Christmas Aficianado ( on YouTube and IG @Christmasaficianado) where he surprises the Christmas Cousins by tasting-LIVE on-air-eggnog for the FIRST time ever!!! How does he fare? Love it? Hate it? Did he hold up better than Cousin Seth during his tasting?

 

Then we move on to our rankings…Joe and Cousin Chad rank their top 5 best and top 5 worst Countdown to Christmas movies of the year, while Cousin Seth gives us his rankings of the 15 Hallmark movies he watched this year.

 

The second part will be airing in a few days with the remainder of the rankings.

 

For now, enjoy the first part, which many are calling “the most important first part of a podcast to ever be recorded. Ever”.

Season 3 Kickoff Episode: What’s in store for Season 3?!?

Christmas Cousins

Welcome back Christmas Cousins!

After a short hiatus where Cousin Chad was on a break and Cousin Seth was circumnavigating the globe on one of his private jets, we are back to answer the big question around of the world…

After we all journeyed along together, starting with the fall and Pumpkin Spice season, through Thanksgiving and the holidays, how was our beloved festive freshman Cousin Seth’s Christmas?

He did everything this fall and holiday season-from tasting everything pumpkin and peppermint related, to interviewing guests who helped guide him down the right path to movie and T reviews, game shows and more but was his actual Christmas Eve and Christmas day a huge success…or did it wilt under the weight of his lofty expectations ?

Tune in to find out!

Also, BIG announcement: SEASON 3 starts right after New Year with a full slate of new episodes planned all winter, spring and summer right up through next fall and holiday so the Christmas Cousins will be here for you all year long!

Thanks to all of you for the continued overwhelming support and enthusiasm.

We are looking forward to an amazing 2024 with all of our Christmas Cousins out there!!!

New Year’s Eve Bonus: How did Cousin Seth celebrate Christmas? And Season 3 Announcement!

Christmas Cousins

Where to even start with this episode?

 

The idea was to have our most frequent guest & good friend of the show, Joe, the Christmas Aficianado (find him on YouTube and Instagram @christmasaficianado) to discuss the classic, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”…and we do…buuuuut…

 

Not before we get completely derailed by the mind-blowing revelation that Cousin Seth discovers-LIVE on-air -the name of a tattoo that he has had for decades.

 

It is hard to even put into words. A MUST listen. An Instant classic.

 

GO ahead, enjoy and, as they say, you can’t script this!

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts and comments as well-

Holiday Cocktails and a guy in his 40’s sitting on Santa’s lap? What could possibly go right?

 

Hold on to your jingle bells because in this episode, we’re planning the logistics for taking Cousin Seth, our festive freshman, on an adventure to meet Santa and strike a pose on the big guy’s lap.

 

Bob, the co-host of the Festive Foreign Films Fans Podcast, is joining in on the festive frolics. Together, they’ll navigate the delicate art of adult lap-sitting with Santa, and you won’t want to miss a single moment of what some are calling, “the most important broadcast of all time”.

 

To add a dash of creamy holiday cheer, we’re diving into the world of Trader Joe’s eggnogs. We’ll be sipping, slurping, and reviewing these festive beverages, all while planning the perfect strategy to coax Cousin Seth into that coveted Santa lap pic. Spoiler alert: It involves more laughter than strategy.

 

So buckle up for a sleigh ride of absurdity, a sip or two of eggnog wisdom, and the unwrapping of the ultimate holiday comedy. Who knew getting a guy in his 40s onto Santa’s lap could be this riotous?
