In our final episode of the Christmas Culture Club 2025 season, we explore Epiphany—what it is, why it matters, and how it serves as the ceremonial handshake between Christmas and the start of Carnival and Mardi Gras season. We’ll uncover the history of a day that once stood at the very heart of the Christmas calendar, trace how its meaning has shifted over time, and travel around the world to see the many ways Epiphany is still celebrated today. From king cakes and parades to quiet rituals and community feasts, this episode closes our season by revisiting a tradition that shaped Christmas as we know it—even if it’s faded from modern pop culture.
