Break out the synthesizers, big hair, and Christmas sweaters, because this week’s episode of Christmas Countdown is going full-on retro! 🎄 ⁠⁠⁠TAP TO FOLLOW US ON THE SOCIALS⁠⁠⁠ 🎄 ⁠⁠⁠TAP TO JOIN OUR PATREON⁠⁠⁠ 🎄 ⁠⁠⁠TAP TO WATCH THE SHOW 🎄 TAP FOR OUR PLAYLISTS That's right, hosts Eric Petersen⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Danny Jordan are taking you back to the most tubular decade of all time as they count down their Top 10 80s Christmas Songs — think Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” and all the glittering, synth-filled holiday hits that defined a generation. From pop perfection to rock anthems to delightfully cheesy jingles, this countdown is pure nostalgic joy wrapped in tinsel and neon lights. Along the way, Eric and Danny chat about what’s been happening in their lives as they get ready for Christmas 2025, play a massively merry Christmas-themed game with Producer Chris, and—as always—veer off into hilarious, heartwarming, and totally random holiday (and non-holiday) tangents. Timestamps 0:00 Intro 5:10 Reviews 10:30 Check In 18:48 Big Bear Lake Announcement 20:58 Tinsel Tips 23:46 Game: My Name is Url 31:34 Christmas Jokes 32:47 The Countdown So grab your walkman, pour some eggnog, and crank the volume — it’s time to jam out to the most iconic Christmas tunes of the 1980s!
