What do acclaimed Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli, a hideous whiskey-drinking Spanish-speaking monkey puppet, and the daughter of the Queen of Hearts all have in common? Well, apart from that unforgettable evening at Burning Man a few years back, absolutely nothing...until now. For our one and only Christmas episode of 2025, the randomizer is going all the way back to the mid-2020s to pick a trio of Christmas shorts - a Simpsons short where the "Con Te Partirò" guy serenades the most important family in Springfield, an Argentinian sitcom special where a repulsive talking monkey puppet forces holiday cheer down the throat of a depressed widower, and of course a Disney Channel music video where the offspring of a villain infamous for decapitating her subjects demands that Christmas must be bent to her will aesthetically. And if that's not what Christmas is all about, I don't know what is. Wait, yes I do. Join Tony Goldmark, Charlie Callahan, Haley Baker Callahan and Zach Hurst as they try to find excuses not to attend CHUECO'S CHRISTMAS AND OTHER CHRISTMAS SHORTS!

Shorts covered in this episode:
- The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in "Feliz Navidad" (2022)
- Chueco's Christmas (2023)
- Descendants: The Rise of Red "Red Christmas" Music Video (2024)
