It’s finally here — our yearly Trader Joe’s Christmas Tasting episode, one of the most loved and most requested traditions on the show. Every year we dig into Trader Joe’s newest and weirdest holiday releases, and this year’s lineup might be the most interesting yet.

And we’ve got a very special guest joining us: Chad’s dad, Uncle Barry, making his first official appearance on the show. He jumps in with us and Cousin Seth, Joe (@christmas_aficionado) and Lee (@steelcitychristmas) as we taste, rank, and react to Trader Joe’s 2025 Christmas offerings — from the classics to the limited-edition items that are already popping off the shelves.

 

We’re giving our honest takes on what’s a must-try, what’s just okay, and what you can confidently skip this year. And yes — we’re also putting the new Greek Yogurt Eggnog to the test. (Cousin Seth trying anything eggnog-related is worth the listen alone.)

 

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the reactions, or to know what’s actually worth buying before you head to Trader Joe’s, this episode delivers. Watch it on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts — this is one of our favorite episodes to make every year.

🎄 The List: Most Quotable Christmas Movies 🎄

On this week’s episode of the TGI Podcast, we’re breaking out The List once again—this time counting down the five most quotable Christmas movies of all time. From the lines we repeat every December without even thinking, to the moments that have become full-on holiday language, we’re diving into the movies that basically wrote our seasonal vocabulary.

We’ll go from No. 5 all the way to the top spot, sharing iconic quotes, personal memories, and why these films have the staying power to be recited each and every year. Plus, we drop in a couple of honorable mentions for those classics that just missed the list.

If you love holiday movies, nostalgia, and saying these lines right along with us, this is one countdown you don’t want to miss.

We did it — 250 episodes!

Yes, somehow 47.83 million listeners (give or take… mostly give) have stuck with us through Christmases past, present, and future, and today we celebrate hitting the big 2-5-0 with a very on-brand episode:

a wellness check on Cousin Seth’s holiday spirit.

 

We’re deep in the season now, which means it’s time to evaluate how Seth’s Christmas Journey is going—especially since he’s been assigned a full slate of festive challenges by Cousin Chad, Joe the Christmas Aficionado, Cousin Lee, and pretty much the entire super-fan community.

 

Is he thriving?

Is he struggling?

Has he lit any outdoor lights yet, or is he still emotionally negotiating with the extension cords?

 

We check his progress, his mood, his merriment levels, and whether he’s on track to advance from Jolly Junior to Santa Senior—or whether we’re looking at a full-season remedial course.

 

Join us for this milestone moment, a heartfelt thank you to our outrageously supportive listeners, and a promise for 250 more episodes…and beyond (sorry, Seth).
