All Teaser, No Pleaser | Krampus, Grýla, Jólakötturinn & the Yule Lads - Christmas 2025

It's Christmas time! But in some countries, their folklore isn't so happy and fun. We start with the iconic Christmas Devil, Krampus but he's only the beginning. A troll witch, a giant(?) little cat, and 13 absolute menaces also join the party. What's up with them? Find out on this episode of Ghost Binkers! Also tell Trev to stop putting off explanations into the near future. Get to the point!
