Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe we’re under two weeks away from the big day itself? We sure can’t!
To mark the occasion, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they cover yet another version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol“, this time in the form of the 2022 Apple TV Original, “Spirited“, starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds!
We’re not going to beat around the bush here: all three elves loved this original take on a timeless classic. And, dare we say, it might be one of the best adaptations of that iconic story that’s ever been told? If you don’t believe us, just tune in to hear us gush about it for an hour in gloriously spoiler-filled detail and complete with musical interludes!
So, after watching the film first (we can’t stress this part enough!), settle in with your favorite holiday beverage, bask in the glow of your Christmas tree, and enjoy this fun-filled episode!
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

This one is a very special episode where I’m going to talk all about Olentzero, the Basque gift-giving giant from the Pyrenees! Such a long oral history exists in the Basque region and Olentzero is a wonderfully unique character. In this episode we dive into the history of the region at winter/Christmas time and some of the things that make this character and this region so unique! Also we get part 2 of Santa’s list, how he created his list and why he uses one from The Lost Years of Santa Claus. I hope you all enjoy!

What’s this? A bonus episode on a Sunday? What’s going on?
Well, as you can tell from the fact that the only elf present on this episode is Anthony (sorry, y’all!) and the intro to the episode itself, this was originally meant as a bonus, Patreon-exclusive! However, we wanted our good friend Natalie Bickel to be able to spread the word about her amazing children’s book, “The Christmas Clue“, as far and wide as possible, so we decided to put this on the main feed instead!
Listen as Natalie not only reads an excerpt from “The Christmas Clue“, but also talks about her amazing childhood holidays, the family tradition that inspired her book, what motivated her when writing this and her yet-to-be-published novel, and much, much more!
Also discussed – Natalie and Anthony’s Top Ten Christmas movies of all time! A list which, for Anthony, is already obsolete! (For his up-to-date list, keep your eyes open for a special Patreon episode featuring all of the elves coming soon!)
So, order your copy of “The Christmas Clue” (available where all books are sold!), settle in with your favorite holiday drink, and enjoy this special bonus episode! And keep your eyes on your main feed tomorrow, because – as usual – our regular weekly episode will be dropping then!
As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all!

Art Kilmer from a Cozy Christmas podcast gives us his top picks for Christmas books this season. Listen up, then grab those books and cozy up to read them.
Welcome to episode 68 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I’ll be talking about the King Orchestra’s 1978 album, “Jingle Bell – Christmas Karaoke Collection.”
Despite some disappointment, I was glad to finally add this album to my collection. When I first started buying these records, I built a fairly substantial wishlist, and any time I finally get one of the albums that’s been on it from the beginning, I get a feeling of satisfaction. That might change when I listen to it, but at least I can enjoy the achievement for a little while.
As I mentioned in the episode, these first two of the month were done while battling COVID. It wore me out more than I thought it would. I didn’t realize how much it impacted my recording until I was editing this episode and had to cut out tons of lengthy pauses and deep breaths. I’m hoping to be fully back on track in the next week or so.
I hope you enjoyed some of the music here, and the background about King Records. Join me next week for one of my absolute favorite Japanese albums, “Mint Sound’s X’mas Album.” It’s a spectacular compilation from 1987, loaded with a fantastic array of mostly original songs. It’s one of the first albums I bought, and one that really got me hooked on collecting Japanese Christmas music. This is one episode you don’t want to miss!
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.
Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!
Hello! Since I’ve been talking to a lot of mystery writers lately, I thought I should read a classic crime story to you today – “Stuffing” by Edgar Wallace. It’s basically a story of a heist gone wrong, and Wallace skillfully weaves together the stories of a poor newly married couple about to leave for Canada to start a new job, a couple of crooks, and a rich man with a safe full of money. The story is both funny and charming! A perfect read for this time of year.
If you’d like to submit a question for our Q&A during our 100th episode on December 20th, you can email them to me at cozychristmaspodcast@gmail.com.
In 2023 I will be doing a Cozy Christmas Book Club. If you’d like to participate, send me an email and I’ll sign you up. More details to come.

I’ve been inundated with requests from our US correspondent Scott Newman for the What The Dickens segment, so I do my best to cover all of them.
There’s a lot, but it’s interesting stuff.
This episodes Do You Hear What I Hear from our podcast barman Bob Baker discusses how us Brits can’t stop using the word ‘Cheers’.
Then it’s the quiz and Ed Daly, the author of the Christmas Book gives it his best.
Check out his book, it’s great:
Last year I played a few of Adam Kennedy’s Christmas songs, from his album Literally Shrunk Down and Living In My Christmas Village. Well this year I’ve got him on the show to talk to us about some more of his songs.
They are very funny and you need to give the album a listen:

Then Bob Baker is back with Wonderful Christmas time. Learn about Christmas Haunted Houses, Christmas Castles and Surfing Santas.
This week’s recommendation is my book again. . . because last time I recommended it no on listened. Well not no one, but only 5 people, and bearing in mind this is the greatest work of literature ever written I think more people should give it a shot.
Here’s the link. If you buy it I’ll shut up about it:
