Must-Have Merkins, Milk Meltdowns & Merry MayhemScheana and Kiki close out 2025 with equal parts heartbreak and humor, unpacking the year's biggest pop culture moments — from Kim Kardashian's merkins and Katy Perry's space performance to the Coldplay kiss-cam couple, KPop Demon Hunters' domination, and the tragic events occurring this week with the mass shootings at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration and Brown University, along with the heartbreaking loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. They also tackle lighter chaos: missing nails, the holiday traditions they're breaking this year, Nick Viall's plane-seat fiasco, and whether lying about Santa will inevitably mess up your kid. Scheana opens up about one of her toughest parenting moments yet before the duo dives into the eeriness of kids having paranormal experiences “before the veil lifts.” A heartfelt, hilarious, and perfectly chaotic wrap-up to an unforgettable year.

The old gang is back together as Andy Fiori and Mike Finoia return to talk problematic movies. Dirty Dancing was absolutely filthy, Grease had inappropriate interactions, and Roadhouse gets more bizarre as time passes. | Andy has still water sitting at his desk since the pandemic and dares someone to drink that pond scum. | Black Lou takes his kid to the mall and when the Santa turns out to be black, the rich white families have a problem. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

If we could wrap up Christmas presents for Walt Disney World, these are the gifts we'd put under the tree

Sometimes, it really does feel like Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Give us the fairy lights, colored baubles, fresh smell of pine, whipped cream-topped hot chocolate, and cookies. ALL THE COOKIES, PLEASE. One of the best things about Christmas is that it stretches and bends to fit the shape we want and need it to be. Sure, holiday traditions can punch above their weight in December — sometimes feeling more like an over-loaded sleigh of obligation than a yuletide treat. But Christmas also invites us to adapt the season to be just as we like it: Stay up too late with books, greet the dawn with a walk, eat one more bite of your favorite treat, Grinch-out under a blankie, or get together with your people for holiday hijinks. Do all of it! Do none of it! Santa will add you to the Nice List no matter what. In this episode, Mel explains why she thinks everyone should read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and Dave tries to trick us with a holly-jolly version of Two Truths and a Lie. Then we recommend five great books sprinkled with Christmas magic, including two fantastic (and fantastical) books about holiday traditions around the world, a rom-com with just the right level of sweet and sassy, a YA Gothic mystery set in a smuggler's inn, and a cozy murder mystery that proves making merry can be quite dangerous. The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter The Atlas of Christmas: The Merriest, Tastiest, Quirkiest Holiday Traditions from Around the World by Alex Palmer The Dead of Winter by Sarah Clegg Greenglass House by Kate Milford 12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas by Natasha Bache For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

This episode is a little different — because it was recorded live, unfiltered, and full of holiday chaos. No edits, no do-overs, just festive fun with the Main Street Magic community from start to finish.We kick things off by catching up and diving straight into Would You Rather: Disney Holiday Edition, letting the live chat decide between some tough holiday-themed Disney choices. From there, things get even more festive as we set the stage for a very special guest appearance.Santa himself joins the show live (with Rhonda holding down the Lounge), where he takes on Naughty or Nice: Disney Edition, judges questionable park behavior, and answers listener questions in real time. It's unpredictable, hilarious, and exactly the kind of chaos you can only get when you go live.After Santa heads back to the North Pole and Jeremy returns, we wrap things up with Eat It or Beat It: Holiday Edition, breaking down holiday dishes from around the world and letting the audience vote on what they'd actually eat.This episode is pure Main Street Lounge — festive, interactive, a little messy, and completely uncut. Pour yourself something cozy and enjoy the holiday magic.

Santa is in to play Mixtape Game, we talk about cool things to do around town, and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tis the season to chat about trashy holiday horror! In this episode Jef, Josh and Brian dig deep into Santa's sack and hit the tippy bottom and come up with 1980's "To All A Good Night".  With arguably one of the worst VHS covers for a vintage Christmas slasher, this one doubles down by also being directed by the super creep from Last House on the Left, David Hess. However what it lacks in art, story and star power they fill in with blood, boobs, Santa and the one and only Harry Reems. So win win win!? This festive flick is currently streaming on TUBI so go give it a watch and join the FM3 for some Xmas fun! Happy Holidays!

Candy-coated dates, cocktails in pouches, collagen-infused beauty drinks and "noise-canceling" tonics. The latest wave of launches begs the question: is niche now the norm in food and beverage?

Hippies & Santa.--  Melissa offers a 411 on Nombase, BevNET's integrated platform that combines data tools, a partner directory, educational resources, and a weekly podcast.

They turn their attention to numerous products sampled at BevNET Live and new ones sent to the office including a zero-proof Peppermint "Bark-Tini," dates coated in a candy shell, two THC drink brands (no, one of them is not named after a JLo flop) and vodka-based pouch cocktails. Melissa spotlights a brand of functional athletic recovery products and Ray rounds out the episode with one of the most unusual beverage brands launched in the past decade.

Merry Christmas to all our spoiler friends. ************** Ross unexpectedly finds himself looking after Ben, and decides to do something special for Christmas. Since all the Santa costumes have been rented out, Ross dons the best outfit left and entertains Ben as the holiday armadillo. Show: Friends (1994) Air date: December 14, 2000

Lionel dives into the childhood archives of Matt Blaze, from sneaking classic Atari cartridges out of hidden garage bags to the crushing realization that Santa doesn't actually have a key to the front door. Between nostalgic rants on shaving kits for toddlers and the confusion of growing up in a Jewish-Catholic household, Lionel navigates the "wonderful" lies parents tell us and the perils of Irish slang—where asking for a "ride" on a motorcycle might get you banned from the pub.

Lionel presents "Ventilation Friday," a raw and irreverent journey through the absurdities of modern life. In this episode, Lionel skewers the hollow rituals of holiday greetings, the "red pill" moment of discovering the Santa myth, and the pagan origins of the Christmas tree. He explores the cultural creation of Kwanzaa, shares his "talent" for manualism (hand-crepitation), and tackles listener questions on the roots of prejudice and anti-semitism. From fake health supplements made of wood pulp to the pretentiousness of family photo cards, nothing escapes Lionel's biting wit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's up, dudes? Is it BAB-ar or BaBAR? Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox and I try to figure it out. Yes, we're talking about “Babar and Father Christmas!”Arthur, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, the royal elephant children, are playing with their monkey pal, Zephir. Soon he tells them that in man's world, Father Christmas delivers presents to good boys and girls on Christmas Eve! After their amazement subsides, they write Father Christmas a wish list letter, but are disappointed when they don't get a reply. Ultimately, this leads to Babar's realization that the Elephants' Country needs to be included in Santa's regular route.The King goes to heroic lengths to make his children's' wishes come true. First, he goes to the city and befriends an artist's model. From there, he meets a geography professor with a map to Santa's workshop. Babar makes the trek up north, and he and Father Christmas become fast friends. Father Christmas even gets to take a much needed rest in the tropical climate of Babar's country. He also gifts Babar a magical flying suit to distribute presents on Christmas Eve.Saxophone-playing Rhino antagonists? Check. Barbarian Babar? In a joke. Elves who've never seen a flamingo? Only if they look like gnomes! So grab your crown, hop on a train to the city, and check your maps to this episode on “Babar and Father Christmas!”After LunchGive us a buzz!

This week on The Nikki & Brie Show, the twins are toasting to the season with a Curious Convos: Holiday Edition—and they've got festive wine in hand and big questions on their minds. From ugly Christmas sweaters to emotional holiday songs, Nikki and Brie explore why this time of year hits so deep. Is it the music? The memories? Or maybe even a little bit of soul-level faith? They reflect on their childhood Christmases, wonder why the season always flies by, and debate whether December niceness is genuine or just peppermint-scented fakery.In classic Curious Convos fashion, it's not all deep talk—there's plenty of fun too. Nikki reads wild headlines about herself and Brie asks the hard-hitting questions like: “How dramatic was Nikki really last Christmas?” They also dig into the traditions they love, the chaos of holiday shopping, and the warm magic of shared meals. Oh—and don't miss their hilarious Holiday Red Flag or Green Flag game, judging the new guy your cousin brings to dinner.As always, they close with a heartfelt reminder: the little moments matter.

On Christmas Eve 2008, eight-year-old Leticia opened the door expecting Santa Claus — instead, she found her aunt's ex-husband in a custom-fitted suit, armed with five handguns and a homemade flamethrower, ready to deliver his final gift to the family.IN THIS EPISODE: (Christmas archives episode from December 13, 2020): We'll look at some of the history of Santa and his cohorts – and how they have all not been as jolly as we know them now. (And You Thought You Knew About Santa) *** And I'll tell you an Icelandic Christmas story that is so creepy that the government was forced to censor it. (The Icelandic Yule Brothers) *** But first, Christmas parties are a time for joy, laughs, and family. A time to be shared with the ones you love. But sometimes, the ones who love us, have a different, more sinister plan. That was the case of Bruce Jeffrey Pardo, the Killer Santa. We begin with that story.

Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey are back for a very seasonal edition of I Want That To - and Jim's latest “project” involves tracking down tiny reindeer snowmobiles to complete his Cars holiday display (because apparently Santa's sleigh rules apply to Radiator Springs too). From there, the conversation jumps into Disney's new “Find Merchandise” test inside My Disney Experience, the company's eye-popping $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and why dynamic pricing is suddenly giving everyone Instacart flashbacks. Then Jim takes Lauren (and all of us) on a deep-dive into the origin story of Disney's Sing-Along VHS line - including how a Max Fleischer Rudolph short ended up inside Disney's Very Merry Christmas Songs tape. NEWS• Disney is testing a new “Find Merchandise” feature in the My Disney Experience app to help guests search for specific items and check availability at select locations (including World of Disney at Disney Springs). • Disney's reported $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI sparks a debate about guardrails, character usage, and curation, especially as AI-generated content gets easier to make (and easier to misuse). • The latest Instacart dynamic pricing controversy raises alarms about different customers seeing different prices, prompting the big question: is Disney heading down a similar road with ticket pricing? • Disney's CFO signals dynamic pricing for domestic parks in 2026, with Jim and Lauren weighing the business upside against the guest-side pain of budgeting and “reading the room.” FEATURE• A surprisingly twisty history lesson on how Disney's early VHS strategy helped create the Sing-Along Songs phenomenon - and why making kids sing along was (possibly) the point. • The story behind Very Merry Christmas Songs (1988), including how it had to be assembled on a brutal retail timeline to hit shelves in early October. • How Disney licensed (cheaply) a hand-drawn Max Fleischer Rudolph (1948) short originally made for Montgomery Ward store Santa lines - and why it looks better on YouTube than it did on VHS. • Why this tape became a yearly tradition: the “one remaining VHS player” holiday background classic for tree-decorating season.

As the year comes to a close, Aaron returns to a childhood memory sparked by The Polar Express—a quiet library, falling snow, and a sound he still can't explain. What begins as a story about believing in Santa becomes something larger: a reflection on why belief itself is real, necessary, and enduring. Through a timeless response to an 8-year-old's question published in The New York Sun, this episode explores why the most important things in life may exist beyond what we can see.

Remember when crafting a Christmas wish list felt like one of the biggest decisions of the entire year? This episode, we're taking a trip back to those times when the Sears catalog, a handful of crayons, or a carefully written letter to the North Pole were all it took to dream big. Join us as we reminisce about the toys we circled, the treasures we hoped for, and the ways we let Santa know exactly what we wanted waiting under the tree. (May contain some explicit language.)

The countdown is on. In just one week, Santa Claus will spread Christmas cheer across the world to those on his Nice list. But in St. Louis, Santa, aka Kris Kringle, performs with his band, the Jolly Jingles, at their annual Christmas Extravaganza. They play a medley of traditional Christmas music — and originals — infused with gospel, rock and roll and ska. Kringle sat down with STLPR's visuals editor Brian Munoz to discuss his music, his special brand of holiday joy and the band's new single “Egg Nog: North Pole Rock and Roll.”
