I'm joined by the lovely Sadsavignonbleh as we talk about the history of the Christmas special. We cover everything from the early days of variety Christmas shows, the importance of Rankin Bass, the impact of the Charlie Brown Christmas special, Christmas TV episodes and commercials, and so much more. Rudolph, Frosty, The Grinch, Garfield, Santa, Uncle Scrooge, and many more are all here in this episode.
