The Akira Slide "Favorite Holiday Media" Spectacular

Welcome one and all to our big Holiday episode where Jallah and I will dive into some of our favorite pieces of Holiday media spanning our lifetimes as nerds. We got to use a number randomizer (a wheel!) and part of the fun is wondering whose turn will it be next to share seasonal spirits. We wanted to thank you for listening - more than 4 people had Akira Slide Podcast as their most-listened to show on Spotify this year. It really means the world that folks all across the world have listened to our thoughts on anime, manga, and as this episode shows- a bunch of other random crap. We'll be back with weekly episodes for 2026 starting in early January.   Timestamps:    00:00 - The Garou Slide Podcast, December 21st 04:12 - Famous Christmas Eves from “Shonen” Anime 09:01 - Episode Pitch: Our 15 Favorite Holiday Media 12:10 - Peanuts Christmas Special 21:39 - Muppets Family Christmas (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zi68pvazxI) 31:26 - Elf 38:53 - Always Sunny Singalong (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI5rRiuYuEA&pp=ygUWYWx3YXlzIHN1bm55IHNpbmdhbG9uZw%3D%3D) 45:34 - Tim and Eric’s Chrimbus Special 48:46 - Zach Braff and Donald Faison sing “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (Link: https://youtu.be/ZAGCZMQUeXo?si=rRuFYLwA2pLqJn1P) 57:09 - Krampus 01:02:25 - Community’s Season 2 and 3 Christmas Episodes 01:09:28 - Weezer - SZNZ: Winter 01:18:21 - Rugrats Christmas Special  01:30:06 - The Beach Boys Christmas Album 01:37:50 - The Office Christmas Season 2 and 3 Christmas Episodes 01:46:22 - Home Alone  01:57:24 - Coming to America  02:03:39 - The Hey Arnold Christmas Special   Edited by Michael D.
