Christmas Special: Seasonal movie binges, Secret Santa, and our holiday playlist

This Christmas special, we talk about what December actually looked like growing up—snow in Shimla, winter holidays shaped by Narnia marathons, and the long years of believing in Santa before the illusion was rudely dispelled.

From there, the conversation turns to seasonal viewing. Alongside familiar rewatches (Home Alone), we discuss recent holiday releases including A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, My Secret Santa, Champagne Problems, and Gurinder Chadha’s Christmas Karma. We also touch on older catalogue titles such as Holiday in the Wild, now part of the background noise of December streaming.

The episode closes with a tutorial on Christmas aesthetics or creating the 'Christmassy vatavaran', if you will, while still working— playlists, muted Netflix fireplaces, cakes, and of course, hot chocolate.
