Danielle brings her belated offering to this year's Winter Bizarre with the 2025 Christmas movie My Secret Santa. While Sam was all in on the idea of it being about a kidnapped Santa Claus, he's not disappointed to find out it's actually just Mrs. Doubtfire in a Santa suit. When ex-famous-teen-rock-star-now-quality-control-at-a-cookie-factory, Taylor, finds herself jobless just before the holidays, she has to go to extremes to pay for her daughter's acceptance to "one of the best" snowboarding camps in the country; rent and food be darned. This camp seems to have zero scholarships, zero entry requirements, and is starting in only days. Good news! If you work at the resort where it's hosted you get 50% off tuition. Bad news! The only position available is Santa (also a manager position, but let's pretend there isn't). What's a girl to do? Good news! Luckily her brother seems to run a full time costume shop out of his apartment and hooks her up with a very convincing Santa costume. Bad news! The hot guy from her earlier meet-cute in town turns out to be the wayward fail-son of the billionaire owner of the resort. Good news! She gets the job pretending to be Hugh Mann, Santa at Large. Bad news! Her meet-cute gets the manager position because nepotism. As always, shenanigans ensue as Taylor balances her new Santa life with trying to be a mom and love interest. Also, again, an ex-rock star, which is woefully underutilized. Taylor is truly awful as Santa, telling kids to let their Christmas dreams go for more practical gifts like toothbrushes, but is very convincing as Hugh, much to the fail-son's consternation as he finds himself falling for Taylor and being oddly captivated by Santa himself. Anyway, long story short, after a series of reviews express their dislike of the new Santa (we review Santas?), Taylor changes her ways, taking on both the patriarchal Santa conspiracy and bringing down the elitist billionaire capitalistic horror show we all live in, changing the world, and Christmas, forever. No, just kidding. None of that happens.
What starts as an awkward office Secret Santa slowly unravels into a terrifying holiday countdown, as each strange gift pushes one man closer to the realization that someone at work knows him far too well.

Happy Chrimus! This week on Still Buffering, we're squeezing out the last bit of the holiday with a somewhat traditional viewing of a kind of bad Christmas movie. But good bad, not bad bad, girlboss Ms. Doubtfire good bad. How much does snowboarding even cost? Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Jason demanded we gift you all one last holiday movie treat in the form of the new 2025 Netflix rom-com My Secret Santa—a movie that asks, "What if instead of a dad disguising himself as Mrs. Doubtfire to see his kids, a mom disguises herself as Santa to get half-price snowboard lessons?" Paul, June, and Jason discuss if Matthew wants to bone Hugh Mann, the movie's obsession with hot cocoa, the locker room nudity scene, how two guys who merely like Halloween can create Mission Impossible style facemasks, if the movie is misogynistic, and so much more.

Amye and Amanda reunite with our twin flames, Ace and Katelyn, to discuss Netflix's super cheesy and deliciously terrible holiday movie: My Secret Santa. A single mom needs a job. A ski resort needs a Santa. Disguised as a St. Nick lookalike, can Taylor fool a charming hotel heir into ho-ho-hiring her? (I, Amye Archer, would like to go on record here to say I did NOT write that description, and the person who did should be ho-ho-hauled off to a cave and left there.)Listen to my true crime podcast: Murder She Watched at www.murdershewatchedpod.comGet in touch with us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/littlemissrecapFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/littlemissrecapInstagram: @littlemissrecap Voicemail: www.littlemissrecap.comEmail: amye@littlemissrecap.comYoutube: www.youtube.com/@littlemissrecapGrab yourself some Little Miss Recap merch at: https://littlemissrecap.myshopify.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Johnny Manziel couldn't make it to GameDay, but he did make it to Miami. The Dodgers are spending like there's no cap, DraftKings had to eat a brutal betting glitch, and the Chiefs are moving from Kansas City to…Kansas City. Comedian Matt Stanton joins the show for a full breakdown of NFL teams in a White Elephant gift exchange, plus Sip/Chug/Drainpour chaos, domes vs open-air stadiums, DK Metcalf vs a fan, USC backing out of playing Notre Dame, and why MLB owners are cheap billionaires hiding behind “competitive balance.” Also: too many CFB 26 clips, a Flyers radio hot mic disaster, Jake Paul and Andrew Tate both getting knocked out, and a Chromakey Christmas miracle.

We're wrapping up our holiday coverage this year (pun intended) with our own holiday specials!
Hollywood has forgotten how to make a Christmas movie because they have forgotten how to be sincere. We have traded classics like Home Alone and Elf for "Content Slop" and ironic snark. In this episode, we break down why the holiday blockbuster is dead, why Red One bombed, and why the "Netflix Look" is ruining cinema. But while we are walking away from the theater, we are walking back to the sanctuary. New data reveals a massive, historic shift: Gen Z men are now attending church at higher rates than women. Camellia Peterson (AFP-MO) joins the show to discuss this "Silent Night Revival" and why young men are rejecting modern chaos to find order, tradition, and meaning in the pews. Plus, the "Holiday Hall of Shame" is open for business. From homeowners fighting porch pirates with "Skunk Water" to the woman suing her coworker over a bag of dog food—we cover the absolute chaos of Christmas 2025. Today's Show:

In this festive episode of 'Big Shot Bob' featuring Robert Horry and the crew, the conversation kicks off with some light-hearted banter and nostalgia. Robert reminisces about watching classic Eddie Murphy SNL skits and his transformative career, noting a shift towards family-friendly movies. The hosts then dive into a passionate discussion about the legitimacy of Christmas and 'Die Hard' as Christmas movies, followed by an analysis of the NBA's Christmas Day matchups, expressing excitement over key games while humorously critiquing some teams' performances. As the episode progresses, attention shifts to a deep dive into Luca Dončić's style of play, discussing accusations of him foul-hunting and citing criticisms from other players like Jalen Brown. They transition smoothly into examining overall NBA viewership, noting its significant increase, and discuss the likeability of emerging teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the finesse in the Spurs' up-and-coming squad under stellar coaching. The show wraps up with holiday picks for upcoming bowl games, notably highlighting Alabama's and Miami's surprising wins, and making predictions for the New Year's games. In a festive twist, the hosts conclude with a hilarious holiday-themed edition of 'Black Crime or White Crime,' underscoring the ridiculousness of human behavior irrespective of race.

On today's festive episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are fully embracing the chaos as Christmas Eve quickly approaches. With Santa hats on and patience running low, the pair dive headfirst into the realities of family life at the most wonderful (and stressful) time of year. From mismatched gift expectations and Secret Santa dramas to the unseen mental load that comes with organising Christmas, nothing is off-limits.The episode is packed with classic Crouchy banter, including a Christmas bike purchase that didn't quite go to plan, debates over midweek work parties, and why men somehow always miss the brief when it comes to presents. In the Agony Abs, listeners write in with festive dilemmas ranging from clashing family traditions to the disappointment of unbalanced effort under the tree.There's laughter, a few emotional moments, and plenty of honest reflection on what Christmas is really about — slowing down, being together, and surviving the madness as a family. A proper festive Therapy Crouch, just in time for the big day.00:00 - Chaotic Christmas energy and opening jokes00:49 - Father Christmas enters the chat01:33 - When your partner hates your jokes02:14 - Christmas presents and control arguments02:43 - Brutal “you're middle-aged now” voice note04:49 - Abbey vs Peter: who actually does everything?06:15 - Mental load of Christmas and invisible labour09:19 - Bike-gate: the kids' disastrous Christmas bikes11:20 - Secret Santa spiralling out of control15:18 - Why midweek Christmas parties are a nightmare17:04 - Unexpected deep dive into nature documentaries20:48 - Emotional moment about losing a family pet22:12 - Why Christmas is about slowing life down25:29 - Agony Ab: clashing family Christmas traditions31:17 - Agony Ab: unmatched effort in Christmas gifts35:03 - What Christmas is really about35:52 - Final Christmas chaos and sign-offEmail: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

The total number of people killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire took place in October has reached 400, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Flooding, low temperatures and makeshift shelters have also presented issues for those in the region. We speak with a Gazan resident about what life is like now for her and her peers. Also in the programme: More children abducted from a Nigerian Catholic school last month look set to be released; CBS News faces criticism for delaying a '60 Minutes' special on the US deportation of migrants to an El Salvadoran megaprison; and Ukraine takes part in a morale-boosting Secret Santa scheme, offering gifts to soldiers on the frontline.(Photo: Mourners react during the funeral of Palestinians killed in an Israeli strike on Friday, according to medics, at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Alonso & Jacks are here to wrap up the Netflix Christmas season by reviewing the final Netflix Christmas movie of the year, My Secret Santa.ABOUT MY SECRET SANTATaylor disguises as Santa at a resort to fund her daughter's ski lessons. Working with the charming manager Matthew, she finds holiday cheer and a chance at love amidst challenges.AIR DATE & PLATFORM FOR MY SECRET SANTADecember 3 2025 | NetflixCAST & CREW OF MY SECRET SANTAAlexandra Breckenridge as Taylor JacobsonRyan Eggold as Matthew LayneTia Mowry as Natasha BurtonBRAN'S MY SECRET SANTA SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a guy and a gal about to rob a joint. He says, “Let me do it, I have a record.” She says, “Let me do it, I can break into the safe.” They both go for it.Cut back two weeks. We see the same gal, Sophia, pickpocket a guy who is being mean to some buskers. We then see that guy from the beginning, Nick, trying to find a new flat, but everything is too expensive. Sophia goes to work at a fancy store called Sterlings — the same store she was planning to rob at the beginning. She hates it when people are mean, so when a customer mistreats an employee, she steals the woman's dog's diamond collar.Nick, who works at a cell phone repair shop, watches the Sterlings security cameras and sees her do this — and also notices her stealing some petty cash. But there's a good reason: her mom is very sick and needs expensive treatment.Nick visits her the next day, asks if she knows where he could find a diamond collar, and hands her a USB before scurrying off. That night, Sophia watches the video — it's footage of her stealing, along with a message to meet him the next day.She meets him, and he blackmails her into helping him rob the Sterlings security locker. She says no while pickpocketing his locker. Needing the money, she reluctantly agrees to help him in exchange for a cut, since she knows his identity as the guy who installed the security footage and was previously arrested for theft.They successfully break in, only to find that the locker is already empty. They decide to call a truce.The next day at work, Sophia finds out that someone really did steal all the items (she suspects it's Nick). She also overhears that Sterling keeps $500,000 in cash in his office's personal safe. She goes to talk to Nick and overhears him having a conversation with his ex about her and their child moving away. He promises Sophia he didn't rob the store without her. They agree to work together again.Sophia figures out what kind of safe it is and assures Nick she can crack it. But they need a key fob that generates a new code every sixty seconds, which Sterling keeps in his bedroom. Sophia tells Nick they need to find a way to get into Sterling's bedroom to steal the fob.Nick admits to Sophia that he never actually stole from Sterlings. The owner did it himself for the insurance money. He framed Nick, who took a plea deal to avoid missing his daughter's life.They consider giving up until they learn that Sterling's wife — who hates him — will be at a fancy gala. They hatch a plan: get him in, seduce her, and have her bring him back to her place so they can steal the fob. They get all dressed up for the gala, and it works. But back at her place, Sterling's wife recognizes Nick. They've been found out. She offers to give them the fob if they cut her into the deal.They plan a new break-in after the store closes on Christmas Eve. The fob works, but when the door opens, they discover another door requiring Sterling's DNA. All seems lost — until Sophia uses her own DNA. It turns out Sterling is her father. Her mom worked there, Sterling got her pregnant, then fired her and cut her off completely.They get inside, grab the money, and on their way out, a security guard comes. They hide but are caught when Nick sneezes. They run, but are ultimately captured. Sophia offers to take the fall if Sterling gives her mom her cut, ensuring he can be with his daughter. Before escaping, she kisses Nick.While they're being chased, Sterling shows up with the police to see what's been taken. When the locker is opened, all the stolen goods are inside.We learn that Cynthia, Sterling's wife, told Sophia and Nick she didn't want a cut of the money — she wanted Sterling arrested to take over the company. She promises to take care of both of them for their help. She also reveals where Sterling had hidden his stolen goods before the insurance claim goes through. Sophia and Nick move the items into the safe, ensuring Sterling is caught for insurance fraud.When the security guard recognizes Sophia, she tells him what she knows, and he lets her go free. Later, Nick and Sophia meet up again and share another kiss, obviously. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

Peter Imburg is the founder and CEO of Elfster, the world's most widely used Secret Santa and gift exchange platform, now serving over 40 million users globally. He bootstrapped the company from a side project in his basement into a profitable, affiliate-driven e‑commerce engine—without taking a dollar of venture capital or angel money. On this episode we talk about: How Peter went from paper routes and grocery bagging to tech consulting and then founding Elfster. The origin story of Elfster and how a frustrating family Secret Santa experience sparked a global platform. Bootstrapping for years without outside funding, including early experiments with sponsorships and brand campaigns. The pivotal shift from seasonal ad deals to an affiliate/e‑commerce model that finally aligned user growth with revenue. What Elfster looks like today: tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions in gross merchandise volume, and a lean global team. Top 3 Takeaways You don't need VC money to build something big; you do need a real problem, relentless iteration, and patience through years of “keeping the lights on.” Business models matter as much as product—Elfster didn't really turn the corner until it aligned its product with an evergreen revenue engine (affiliate commerce) instead of one‑off ad experiments. Long-term success often comes from saying yes to “small” opportunities (like a late‑season campaign) and then spotting the bigger strategic insight hidden inside them. Notable Quotes “There's got to be somebody doing this online…I looked all around, there's nothing.” “For years we were getting enough money to keep the lights on, but user growth didn't translate into revenue growth.” “Once we made the shift, as we grew users, our revenue grew too—that was the pivotal moment.” Connect with Elfster: Website: elfster.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️
