1.20: Home Alone | It's a Santa Bonanza Extravaganza! (Holiday Contest #3)

It’s the Santa Bonanza Extravaganza and the final episode of the year! 🎅🍿 Brian and Steph close out the season with a jam packed holiday episode full of movie talk, festive debates, and classic Popcorn and Possibilities chaos. Listen closely for the keyword to enter our holiday contest!We kick things off with a deep dive into Home Alone - why Uncle Frank is the absolute worst, Steph’s love for Catherine O’Hara, the stress of packing for trips (why do we bring so many socks and underwear?), questionable parenting choices, Kevin’s brutal traps, and fun behind the scenes facts like Danny Devito almost playing Harry and the infamous dubbed spider scene. Plus, we talk about why the movie still holds up and the endlessly quotable lines (“Look what you did, you little jerk!”).From there, Steph goes on a Hallmark Christmas movie rant, we debate whether it’s worse to be stuck in a house with relatives you hate or forced to listen to carolers 24/7 for a week, and reminisce about iconic Christmas candies Terry’s Chocolate Orange, Christmas Tree Cakes, and Ferrero Rocher while asking the important question what happened to the popcorn bucket?We also share our top Christmas songs (yes, Wham! “Last Christmas” reigns supreme), favorite holiday movies (The Grinch, Klaus), and why we’re officially out on ELF and Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You.Things heat up during Wrap It Up or Pack It Up, as we debate ugly Christmas sweaters, candy canes, fruitcake (cue Steph’s rant and Ambrosia comparison), mince meat pie (is this real or something Brian made up?), and whether mall Santas need to retire.We wrap up with This? or That? raisins vs. chocolate chips in oatmeal cookies, gift cards vs. homemade gifts, and Frosty vs. Rudolph before thanking all of you for your incredible support this year.🎄 Happy Holidays, and thanks for making Popcorn and Possibilities part of your year!
