THE 'BER MONTHS ARE HERE! And you know what that means... it's basically Christmas now. We don't make the rules. Eric, Danny, and Producer Chris are officially welcoming in the most wonderful stretch of the calendar with a brand-new offseason episode of Christmas Countdown packed with Christmas news, holiday hot takes, festive debates, and the wonderfully random nonsense you've come to expect. First, the fellas unwrap and react to some of the latest Christmas and holiday news (is a new Home Alone movie starring Macaulay Culkin REALLY happening??), catch up on what's been happening in their lives, and celebrate the glorious arrival of the 'Ber Months—when September hits and suddenly listening to Christmas music feels just a little more socially acceptable. Then it's time to give the Winter Wheel of Wondermint a few spins! Where will it land? This time, the wheel sends Eric, Danny, and Chris down some particularly merry rabbit holes, including: 🎁 Christmas gifts gone horribly wrong 🎶 Songs that aren't technically Christmas songs... but absolutely FEEL like Christmas songs 🏢 Creative ways to bring Christmas cheer into the workplace Naturally, all of this leads to plenty of wildly unnecessary tangents, questionable opinions, nostalgic Christmas memories, holiday debates, and random non-Christmas banter that somehow finds its way onto a Christmas podcast. If you're already counting down to Christmas 2026, breaking out the holiday playlists, planning your Christmas decorations, or simply believe September 1st marks the unofficial beginning of the holiday season... welcome home. 🎄 FOLLOW US ON THE SOCIALS: ⁠https://linktr.ee/christmascountdownshow 🎄 JOIN OUR PATREON: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/christmascountdownshow 🎄 OUR MUSIC PLAYLISTS⁠: https://open.spotify.com/user/31kqr64dm74wb5c4xfl24bldhjoe Learn more about your ad choices.
