Kristen and Jacquis snuggle into the Pillow Fort on The Nightly for a full-on holiday immersion — part cozy confessional, part cinematic celebration, part heartfelt pep talk for anyone who’s ever felt lonely during the holidays. From childhood schemes to peek at presents to grown-up rituals of kindness and connection, they unwrap what Christmas really means: warmth, humor, and small sparks of magic that don’t require perfection.

Kristen embraces her self-proclaimed “Christmas mania” with 100 days of holiday films, Brooklyn tree-naming traditions, and the legendary “Box of Crap™” exchange with her sister. Jacquis brings the laughs and the grounding—remembering white artificial trees, Home Alone 2 supremacy, and the joy of giving back. Together, they swap stories, sing praises to The Muppet Christmas Carol, and remind listeners that the holidays are better when you let them be human, messy, and kind.

What you’ll hear:

• Santa, but make it kind: Rethinking “naughty vs. nice” with empathy and humor
• Childhood capers: Tiny Jacquis’ legendary present-peeking fail
• The Christmas canon: Kristen’s classics (Shop Around the Corner, It’s a Wonderful Life), guilty pleasures, and A Diva’s Christmas Carol
• Deck the halls: Real trees, white trees, and the Brooklyn naming ritual
• Giving back: From “elf” volunteering to USPS Operation Santa
• The Box of Crap™ & Boxing Day party: Unwrapping joy without the pressure
• Big feelings: When holidays feel heavy — why movies, mimosas, and second chances help
