Welcome to a special Christmas and Hanukkah episode of Have Kids They Said! Nicole and Rich dive into holiday cheer as they chat about Christmas songs, Rich’s love for living on the edge, and how Mariah Carey’s rendition of O Holy Night never fails to bring Nicole to tears. Rich sings the praises of classic Jewish dishes like kugel, latkes, brisket, and a unique apple kugel. Meanwhile, Nicole reveals her husband Matt Ryan’s favorite tearjerker Christmas song, John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War is Over), sparking a debate about the song’s singers—and everyone gets it wrong.

Rich shares his list of favorite Christmas movies, declaring the classic A Christmas Story overrated, which leads to a heated argument about whether Die Hard is truly a Christmas movie. The holiday chaos doesn’t stop there—Nicole’s elf has a disastrous Florida accident, leading to a cascade of lies for the kids. And finally, Nicole spills the tea about her cousin’s unexpected crush on Jesus—do you think he was hot?

Get ready for laughs, debates, and plenty of holiday spirit in this festive episode!
