On this episode, we bring you a special presentation of act 3 of our made-for-podcast Christmas movie: “A Bomb For Christmas 2: Past, Present, and Future.” We will be releasing a new act every Tuesday until Christmas!

It’s the movie that answers the question no one asked, “What would happen if you combined Die Hard 2 an A Christmas Carol?”

In Act 3, The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Tracy that her partner, Holly, isn’t the only one she has to save on this perilous Christmas Eve.

Family Ties “Miracle in Columbus” (w/ Jeff Fox)

What’s up? Alex P. Keaton is back, and he learns—or re-learns—all about Christmas spirit! I’ve got Jeff Fox from Name That Christmas Special with me to talk Family Ties “Miracle in Columbus!” Alex’s heart grows three sizes!

In this sixth season seventeenth episode, Skippy gets Alex to fill in for him as a mall Santa. The capitalistic Santa Alex meets a little girl named Michelle who wants nothing more than for her father to be home for Christmas. Of course, this bums Alex out to the max.

Subsequently in the mall locker room, the real Santa appears and comforts and encourages Alex. Moved by his speech, he finds Michelle and her mom and invites them over for Christmas Eve. Miraculously, Michelle’s dad appears at the Keatons’s door. All’s well that ends well!

Mallory and Jennifer in elf costumes? Check. Skippy as an abominable snowman? Got it. Michael and Elise decorating a cactus? It got better. So grab your Santa suit and, “Ho Ho Ho,” to this episode on Family Ties “Miracle in Columbus!”

To Tree or Not to Tree: Seth’s Year 3 Decision…and does Seth actually ENJOY the tastings we do?!?

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.

The Muppets – Single All the Way

🎄 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.
