The Cousin’s Summer Check-in: Seth’s Cole Slaw Challenge, love life and so much more!

Well, we were supposed to be on hiatus.

But then we realized something important: this journey was never just about helping Cousin Seth discover Christmas. It’s become something much bigger. The mission now is to help Seth embrace all the seasons and find joy year-round.

And what says summer more than cole slaw?

Unfortunately, we’ve uncovered a serious problem. Cousin Seth does not like cole slaw.

Naturally, this has become our latest emergency intervention.

So we’re taking a hiatus from our hiatus for a very special Summer Spectacular.

After a few months away, the Christmas Cousins return with enough updates, loose ends, and deeply questionable food decisions to fill several episodes—but good judgment has never been our brand.

We begin, naturally, with Cousin Seth: life in South Haven, the latest developments in his burgeoning coffee empire, and the obligatory love-life update the international community has been demanding. Then Joe the Christmas Aficionado checks in with tales of high-end whiskey acquisitions, new toys, fresh memorabilia, and other completely essential investments.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Pittsburgh Cousin Lee would simply like to know why Seth apparently refuses to sell him coffee. But Lee has brought leverage: a container of coleslaw delivered to Seth’s house for the long-awaited Christmas Cousins Coleslaw Challenge. Unfortunately, it then sat outside in the summer heat for roughly five hours.

Cousin Seth already considers fresh coleslaw an affront to human dignity. Will he now eat the warm, possibly sentient version? Absolutely not—probably. But this is Cousin Seth, so no one knows until the cameras roll.

It’s an overflowing return episode packed with coffee, romance, whiskey, consumerism, simmering merchandise grievances, and one tub of cabbage that may now qualify as a biological weapon.
