Which Christmas

Our final revisited Christmas special is also one of my most recent... 2022's Which Christmas! I thought it would be a fun one to end on, since it mainly focuses on NEXT Christmas.

I would be remiss not to mention that this is, in fact, a very real playlist. (And it's even longer than advertised!) You can find it here, although obviously 'tis no longer the season. But save it for next year! Or just the next time you need to torture someone.

At the end of the list, you'll find a quartet of "Next Christmas" songs! These were written by a Sam and Fuzzy reader who was inspired by the story, and they're a lot of fun.

Thanks, everyone! See you on Monday.

First Noel

If we're going to be reflecting on past Sam and Fuzzy Christmas stories, there's none more momentous than this one... 2004's First Noel!

Yes, I really must have a soft spot for Christmas specials, because I decided that was how I'd tell the story of Sam and Fuzzy's first meeting! I think I was probably a little influenced by The Simpsons, which also began with a Christmas special that explained how they met a member of the family. (Although in that case, said member was their dog, haha!)

I hope those of you who celebrate have a great Christmas. And if you don't, I hope you have a great Wednesday! See you on Friday for a final seasonal throwback that looks to... the future!

A Christmas Carol

Fridge gets a rare new speaking role in this brand new intro to today's Christmas Special Throwback! Don't say I never did nothin' for ya, Fridgy.

This particular unhinged "adaptation" of A Christmas Carol originally ran in 2015. It is absolutely laden with nonsensical Sam and Fuzzy cast cameos that will make no sense unless you have read the full S&F archive. But hey, if you haven't... get to it!
