What actually makes a Christmas story Christmassy? Is it snow, carols, and Santa… or something deeper?

In this special Christmas episode of Nerd of Godcast, the panel dives into what gives Christmas movies and stories their lasting power. From beloved classics to controversial picks like Die Hard and Batman Returns, we explore why stories set during Christmas often center on redemption, hope, sacrifice, reconciliation, and light breaking through darkness.

Along the way, we play festive games, laugh a lot, and unpack why these themes resonate so deeply this time of year. Ultimately, the conversation points back to the original Christmas story and why it continues to inspire us today.

If you love Christmas movies, pop culture debates, thoughtful faith conversations, and nerdy fun, this episode is for you.

Whether you’re team Home Alone, team Die Hard, or just here for the Christmas vibes, this episode invites you to rediscover why Christmas stories still matter.

This week, we’re talking about living your wildest dreams and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be. The launching point comes from a moment caught during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — a little boy in a full Spider-Man suit watching the giant Spidey balloon being inflated from a fire escape, absolutely lost in awe. It’s a picture of innocence, possibility, and the belief that someday you could be something incredible.

We want to explore that feeling — the way childhood dreams once lit us up inside — and ask what it looks like to recapture that wonder as adults. Are God-given dreams still calling us forward? Have we traded imagination for practicality? And how does faith shape what we dare to become?

This episode will mix personal stories, nerd-culture inspiration, spiritual insights, and honest conversation about how to dream big again and pursue the person God created us to be.
