Originally broadcast on December twenty-third, nineteen fifty-one, this chilling holiday episode of The Whistler delivers a dark and unforgettable Christmas tale from the Golden Age of Radio.
Christmas Gift twists the warmth of the holiday season into something far more unsettling. As the Whistler’s ominous narration guides the listener, what begins as an act of generosity slowly reveals hidden motives, buried guilt, and the dangerous consequences of secrets long ignored. In classic Whistler fashion, fate tightens its grip as the true cost of a seemingly innocent gift comes into focus.
Blending psychological suspense with moral irony, this episode stands as one of the most memorable Christmas-themed stories in Old Time Radio—proving that even during the season of goodwill, shadows can linger close to the tree.
🎄 A haunting holiday mystery where every gift carries a price.
