Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters.

Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It's equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore!

Christmas Past is one of the longest running Christmas podcasts, now in its tenth season. Vanity Fair says: "With excellent production, engaging narration, and short, digestible running times, Christmas Past is perfect to put on while decorating your tree or preparing Christmas dinner."

Brian is the author of two books about Christmas: Of Christmases Long, Long Ago: Surprising Traditions from Christmas Past (2025) and Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions (2022). Both are available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook (narrated by the author). Find them wherever books are sold.

I love the variety of topics and listener interaction. Brian sure does his research, and he genuinely seems to enjoy it!

Wonderful and informative trips down a snow-covered memory lane!

My eldest daughter one Christmas Eve began sharing details of how Christmas crackers came to be as I was admiring her beautifully set dinner table. When she went into detail about another Christmas tidbit during dinner, I asked her, "how do you know all these fun facts?"
That's how I learned about the Christmas Past Podcast, it's author, how the series begins in late October and runs up until Christmas. Before I left she sent me a link to the Christmas Past podcast and I listened to it on my drive home. That's all it took and I've been hooked ever since!
I absolutely love listening to the Christmas Past podcast and listening to Brian Earl share his books "Christmas Past" and his new book "Of Christmases Long Long Ago" on Audible...It makes the Christmas season so much merrier and bright!

Memories of fellow listeners and the history learned
