Christmas with Flavorphiles

Tanner and Jerry celebrate the season with a Christmas episode full of traditions, tips, and a little holiday mischief. They start by revisiting the Thanksgiving discussion on how to be a great guest, answering new questions listeners raised after the episode aired. Then they share one of their favorite traditions—Drink of the Day—where each person creates a featured cocktail all Christmas week.

Next, they dive into “Christmas Crap,” the gadgets and gimmicks companies try to sell you this time of year—and why you don’t need them. In contrast, the Gourmand Gift Guide highlights gifts food lovers will truly appreciate. Finally, the show wraps with a holiday edition of Short Order Cooking, but with a twist: this time Tanner puts Jerry on the spot with rapid-fire Christmas questions.
