That’s right, hosts Eric Petersen and Danny Jordan are taking you back to the most tubular decade of all time as they count down their Top 10 80s Christmas Songs — think Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” and all the glittering, synth-filled holiday hits that defined a generation. From pop perfection to rock anthems to delightfully cheesy jingles, this countdown is pure nostalgic joy wrapped in tinsel and neon lights.
Along the way, Eric and Danny chat about what’s been happening in their lives as they get ready for Christmas 2025, play a massively merry Christmas-themed game with Producer Chris, and—as always—veer off into hilarious, heartwarming, and totally random holiday (and non-holiday) tangents.

🍍 I’ve hidden a pineapple somewhere in this episode, and if you can find it… you get nothing. Sorry.
The Advent Calendar House is back for Christmas Podcast Day. This year, a bunch of your yuletide podcast pals are dropping episodes themed to “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and that gave me a premonition to take a closer look at a very merry episode of “Psych” from 2010.
Gerry Davila from Totally Rad Christmas joins this examination of our superego, taking the form of renowned actor Tony Cox as himself… kind of.
Happy November, everyone! As we kick off the Christmas Podcast Network’s annual Christmas Podcast Day, I’m starting things off with a look at a fun version of It’s a Wonderful Life — a televised stage play from the 1990s starring Bill Pullman as George Bailey. Then, for the main part of the episode, I sit down with Troy from the Christmas Every Day Podcast! We chat about everything Christmas — favorite drinks, foods, movies, actors who’ve played Santa, and so much more. His new podcast is fantastic (even if he did put Pumpkin Spice on the naughty list…

What’s up, dudes? Merry Christmas Podcast Day! Don’t touch that dial! Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas, Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas are here to talk SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!” It’s a wonderful amalgam of pastiche and homage of classic Christmas movies, and it’s fantastic!
Producer Marty Simmons is making a Christmas movie by classic film director Frank Bailey. Unfortunately, he decides that profit is more important than a making a quality movie. Marty fires Bailey and hires a teen sex comedy director in his place. As Marty drives home, he sees a vision of Bailey and crashes.
Marty heads to nearby town Krebbsville for help, running into a church. He sees a Bing Crosby-esque Priest rehearsing a choir. Suddenly, a Clarence-like Bailey appears, and the duo head to 34th Street. They observe a mom frantic and desperate from Krebbs’s cruelty.
Then Bailey’s apparition then takes him to a theater where they’re transported into 19th century London. Finally, Simmons observes a raucous funeral procession for Krebbs, but sees himself in the coffin! Simmons amends his ways and ends happily!
It’s a Wonderful Life? Check. Miracle on 34th Street? Got it. Going My Way? Uh huh. A Christmas Carol? Only if it’s onscreen at a movie theater! So grab your towel and run around the tree to this episode on SCTV “It’s a Wonderful Film!”
Happy Christmas Podcast Day! 🎄
We’re celebrating alongside our friends in the Christmas Podcast Network by covering something tied to the iconic holiday film, It’s a Wonderful Life.
