The Big Mates get festive once again.

Join us for another Christmas of mostly the same stuff as the previous ones. Are you ready for Christmas? Are you feeling Christmassy? What are your favourite Christmas songs?

Plus, we explore some of the festive offerings from R.E.M. from across their whole career!

It's all here, and it's all the same! Some games, some memories, and some mentions of the holiday season!

We'll be having a little break over the holiday period - but from next week you can hear last year's festive episodes of The Ultimate Playlist, appearing for free on the main feed for the first time! Those are released on December 23rd and 30th.

We'll be back in the New Year, on January 6th, with our deep-dive into Around the Sun by R.E.M.!
