We're decking the halls one last time at Six Flags Magic Mountain's Holiday in the Park 2025, and wow… what a ride it's been. 🎄🎢 In this episode, we bundle up, sip something festive, and snack our way through the park as we review the holiday food and drinks, seasonal entertainment, dazzling shows, and all the merry chaos that comes with celebrating the holidays at a thrill capital of the world.

But this episode isn't just about peppermint churros and twinkling lights—it's about us. We look back on nine years of podcasting — how the show has evolved, how we've grown as creators, and how our relationship has changed along the way. From awkward early episodes to finding our voice, from learning how to work together to learning how to grow together, this is an honest, funny, and heartfelt conversation about what it means to stick with something for nearly a decade. Expect laughs, reflections, a little nostalgia, and a lot of gratitude as we celebrate where we started, where we are now, and what comes next. 🎙️❤️

tep into the Wholiday spirit with us as we head to Grinchmas 2025 at Universal Studios Hollywood! 🎄💚

In this episode, we explore everything from festive decor and seasonal shows to meeting the one and only Grinch himself (yes, he was exactly as delightfully grumpy as you'd hope). We ate our way through the event—sampling holiday treats that ranged from surprisingly delicious to… deeply questionable (and we have thoughts).

We'll break down what's new this year, what's worth your time (and money), and which snacks might need a little holiday redemption arc. Whether you're planning a visit or just want to live vicariously through our Grinch-approved chaos, this episode delivers laughs, honest reactions, and helpful tips to make the most of Grinchmas.

Naughty, nice, or somewhere in between—this one's for you. 🎁🎢
