In this episode, John and Linnea settle into the holiday spirit with a light exploration of the meaning and history of the winter solstice. We share some of our favourite holiday movies, from nostalgic classics to questionable cult picks, and debate which ones truly deserve a spot in the yearly rewatch lineup. Along the way, we reminisce about the weird, wonderful, and downright confusing Christmas gifts we’ve received over the years.We also talk about how holiday traditions shift as we grow older, what parts still feel grounding, and why certain rituals stick around. Of course, things get lively when we reveal our controversial favourite Christmas movies—prepare for strong opinions and unexpected choices. Cozy, curious, and full of laughter, this episode invites you to reflect on your own seasonal memories and maybe discover a new favourite holiday film to watch this year.
