That's right, hosts Eric Petersen⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Danny Jordan are taking you back to the most tubular decade of all time as they count down their Top 10 80s Christmas Songs — think Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” and all the glittering, synth-filled holiday hits that defined a generation. From pop perfection to rock anthems to delightfully cheesy jingles, this countdown is pure nostalgic joy wrapped in tinsel and neon lights.

Along the way, Eric and Danny chat about what’s been happening in their lives as they get ready for Christmas 2025, play a massively merry Christmas-themed game with Producer Chris, and—as always—veer off into hilarious, heartwarming, and totally random holiday (and non-holiday) tangents.
