Christmas Comes to Pacland

from Advent Calendar House · host Mike Westfall

🎄 Santa’s sleigh is grounded in the original video game crash. The Advent Calendar House kicks off another Christmas countdown by rewinding back to 1982, when Santa found himself stranded in Pac-Man’s neighborhood. 🎙 Lindy and Alicia join us for a stroll through “Christmas Comes to Pacland,” where no one knows about Christmas, but somehow the Ghost Monsters know the words to “Jingle Bells.” 🚨 Warning: Santa spoilers from 11:25 to 13:30. **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: Santa is flying with 8 reindeer, including Rudolph. Who got the night off? Why some reindeer actually have red noses. This might be the first time a Christmas special shows Santa using a computer. Russi Taylor’s Pac-Baby has the same voice she later used for Robin in “Muppet Babies.” Absent from this special is the Ghost Monsters’ boss, Mezmaron. **** 📼 Commercials: Pac-Man Cereal (1984) Chef Boyardee Pac-Man Pasta (1984) A Bomb for Christmas, made for podcast Christmas movie by Tim Babb of the Can’t Wait for Christmas Podcast, co-starring Mike as “Captain Willis.” **** “Christmas Comes to Pacland” © 1982 Hanna-Barbera Productions.
