FESTIVE FEUDS: Arguing over the most iconic Christmas characters and songs
from Yalla Habibi · host Scott and Shelby
We celebrate the Christmas period with festive debates, starting with the most important question of all: are you an envelope licker, and what does that say about you as a person? From there it’s full festive fun as we argue over the greatest Christmas movie of all time, battle it out over controversial song choices, and crown the most iconic Christmas characters, including who would actually survive an ultimate bad-guy showdown. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a festive Guinness World Record so intense it left one man hallucinating for days, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” offers a wholesome reminder that sometimes all you really need is someone to listen.Chapters(07:47) – DEBATE: Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas?(08:51) – DEBATE: Are You an Envelope Licker?(11:09) – Best Christmas Movie(17:27) – Best Christmas Song(23:59) – Best Christmas Movie Character(29:13) – Best “So-Bad-They’re-Good” Christmas Movie Character(31:03) – Who Would Win in a Villain Showdown?(33:20) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Man Breaks World Record Singing Christmas Songs for 42 Hours Straight(37:30) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Volunteer Team of Grandmas Dispense Street‑Side Wisdom to Those Who Need a Considerate EarScott's WTF of the Week🎤 Man Breaks World Record Singing Christmas Songs for 42 Hours Straight 📅 Wednesday 10th – Friday 12th December 2025🔗 https://nypost.com/2025/12/17/lifestyle/man-breaks-world-record-with-marathon-christmas-singing/Shelby’s Good Vibes Only👵 Volunteer Team of Grandmas Dispense Street‑Side Wisdom to Those Who Need a Considerate Ear 📅 Wednesday 17th December 2025🔗https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/a-volunteer-team-of-grandmas-dispense-street-side-wisdom-to-those-who-need-a-considerate-ear/Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.🎧 EP27 | Best Christmas Films, Songs and Food Enjoyed with a Glass of Mulled Wine | Couples Podcast---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
