In this holiday special episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck delve into Anglo-American Christmas traditions, starting with the Moravians and their influence on miniature Christmas villages. They then share a recipe for Chuck's special pumpkin spice old-fashioned. The hosts explore the historical Frost Fairs of London, impromptu winter festivals on the frozen Thames, and pay tribute to Vince Guaraldi, the jazz musician behind the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. Finally, they discuss the Welsh tradition of the Mari Lwyd, a hobby-horse figure that goes door-to-door, and offer tips for storing Christmas tree lights.
