In this fantastically festive bonus episode of the hit holiday podcast Christmas Countdown, hosts Eric Petersen and Danny Jordan are joined by Producer Chris to unwrap Christmas 2025 and recap everything that went down on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. From favorite moments and family traditions to surprises, snacks, chaos, and those “only-at-Christmas” memories, nothing is off-limits in this cozy post-holiday hang.
Eric, Danny, and Chris share how they celebrated, what went according to plan (and what absolutely did not), and the little moments that made Christmas 2025 one to remember. And of course, in true Christmas Countdown fashion, the conversation drifts into delightfully random holiday (and non-holiday) banter, nostalgic reflections, and plenty of laughs along the way.
Whether you’re still riding the Christmas high or already missing the magic, this episode feels like catching up with friends by the tree one last time.

Christmas doesn’t end on December 25—so why do we treat it like it does?
For centuries, Christmas was a forty-day season, stretching from the Nativity all the way to Candlemas on February 2. In this episode, we explore the entire forgotten half of Christmas: the feast days, folk traditions, saints, celebrations, and moments of sanctioned chaos that once filled the darkest weeks of winter.
From Boxing Day and St. Stephen’s Day to Wren Day in Ireland, from the Boy Bishop and the Lord of Misrule to Twelfth Night, Epiphany, Three Kings Day, La Befana, Orthodox Theophany, Plough Monday, Old Christmas, and finally Candlemas, this episode uncovers how Christmas slowly unfolded—rather than abruptly ending.
We trace how:
Medieval society embraced misrule, role reversal, and communal feasting
Gift-giving traditions moved from Christmas Day to Epiphany
Calendar changes created “Old Christmas”
Industrialization and reform compressed Christmas into a single day
Candlemas weather lore gave rise to Groundhog Day
This is a global journey through liturgy, folklore, agrarian life, and cultural memory, revealing how Christmas once lingered—burning slowly like a candle against the long winter night.
If you’ve ever felt like Christmas ends too quickly…this episode explains why it didn’t used to.
