Deck the halls with chaos, cutaways, and cranberry sauce! This week, Thom and Anthony dive deep into five more uproarious "Family Guy" Christmas episodes, from Dickensian parodies to Meg’s mall-Santa trauma, and Lois’s Grinch-worthy meltdowns. With Julia taking a festive hiatus, the guys hold down the fort with unfiltered banter, personal holiday horror stories, and their signature spicy takes.
Inside this episode:
🎁 "Don’t Be a Dickens at Christmas" (S16E9): Peter’s Scrooge moment, Patrick Swayze’s ghostly pottery lessons, and why Dog Farts haunt the afterlife.
🎁 "Christmas is Coming" (S18E9): Meg’s very awkward Santa encounter (Anthony’s 7/10 vs. Thom’s 4/10—yikes!).
🎁 "The First No L" (S19E9): Lois rage-quits Christmas, the Griffins craft a tear-jerking gift, and a Muslim neighbor takes the blame.
🎁 "Christmas Crime" (S20E10): Brian cancels Christmas (and crashes a nativity), Mayor West’s villain era, and the dark truth about "Asking Panda."
🎁 "Return of the King of Queens" (S22E9): Kevin James crashes Quahog! A sitcom star fights irrelevance (and network TV’s demise) in the least Christmassy ep yet.
