It’s a Christmas Eve tradition at this point, and this year Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie are joined by Jake for his second appearance, and JDH making his debut! Amongst multiple rounds of beer roulette, the boys munch unique sausage rolls created especially for the podcast by the UK’s best sausage roll maker Charlie Hodson.

No Christmas episode is complete without a round of Secret Santa, which is by far the best Secret Santa in Happy Hour’s 5 year existence! Jaack reveals his excruciatingly embarrassing Starbucks stories involving 2 women who clearly worked out. Robbie met the real Santa Claus, and Jake’s still putting the worst thing imaginable on his Yorkshire puddings...

However, in perhaps one of Happy Hour’s most hilarious moments ever, the boys read their Christmas Panto (written by Jaack). And if you thought The Human Centipede 4 was weird… this might just top it.

Happy Christmas you LOVELY lot from all of us here at Happy Hour HQ!
