Chrismas Morning

BREAKING NEWS!!!

In this quick bonus episode, we clear the air on a question that’s been hanging over the Christmas Cousins universe for far too long:

Even though Seth hates eggnog, does he actually enjoy doing the eggnog tastings… or would he be thrilled if we never asked him do it again?

 

We finally get the honest answer about whether the challenge is fun for him or just festive torture.

 

From there, we jump into a progress check on Seth’s Christmas Activity Challenge List—the tasks assigned by Joe the Christmas Aficionado, King of All Superfans Lee, and Cousin Chad. Seth suddenly remembered a couple more items he was supposed to complete, so we take stock of where he stands, what he’s done, and what he’s still creatively avoiding.

 

But the heart of this bonus episode is Seth’s biggest decision of Year Three:

 

To tree or not to tree — Round 3.

 

Will this be the year Seth gets another Christmas tree?

If yes, will it be real or artificial?

And what does that choice mean for his continued evolution from Jolly Junior to Santa Senior?

 

It’s a fast, funny catch-up episode where we check in on Seth’s mood, momentum, progress, and whether he’s actually enjoying the iconic holiday experiences we keep throwing at him.

🎄 It’s been 10 years since the Muppets’ 2015 TV series gave us the gift of a Christmas episode, so it’s time to stay Up Late with Miss Piggy and find out if we can take it seriously, or if it left us because we couldn’t stop making jokes about it.

Becca Petunia and J.D. Hansel of ToughPigs.com join the chaos including, but not limited to: a rigged Secret Santa! Gross and unhelpful mistletoe strategy! And, of course, Echosmith!

📺 You can find “Single All the Way” on Disney+.

Becca’s also on A Prairie Dawn Companion and Here Comes Tomorrow.

J.D. is also on The Great Muppet Fandom Panel and Stick to Shorts.

In this gigantically jolly episode of the hit holiday podcast, Eric Petersen and Danny Jordan are counting down their Top 10 Christmas Song Duets, celebrating the festive pairings that make the season sound so magical. From modern hits to timeless classics, the guys break down their 10–1 picks, why each duet made their list, and what they love most about these perfectly paired holiday voices. Prepare for harmonies, hilarity, and maybe a little friendly disagreement.

Eric and Danny also catch up on everything happening in their lives as they gear up for Christmas 2025, then team up (or face off!) in a round of the beloved Nearly Impossible Trivia Game with Producer Chris. And of course, things get wonderfully sidetracked with random holiday (and non-holiday) stories, laughter, and classic Christmas Countdown chaos.

Whether you’re into jazzy crooners, pop power couples, country collabs, or legendary throwback duets, this episode hits every festive note.

What’s up, dudes? I’ve got Darcy Marta, star of “A Mouse, a Mystery and Me” here with me to tell me about her experience with this cute Christmas special! Not only was she fun to talk to, but she also answered quite a few questions I had with the special! Was it conceived as a lead-in to a series? Was it always just a half hour special? What was it like on set? Yes, she filled me in on all of it! A consummate professional, Darcy, who’s also super kind and sweet, really fielded my relentless questions with ease! So grab your mouse co-author, shove him in your purse or backpack, and go investigate this episode!
