It’s February, the decorations are long gone, and the real question is… how’s Cousin Seth doing?

In Episode 260, the cousins (and the inimitable Joe, the Christmas Aficionado) sit down for a mid-winter catch-up to check in on Seth’s current vibe, his post-Christmas mindset, and whether any holiday spirit has managed to survive into February. We talk about what he’s been up to, what (if anything) is still feeling festive, his love life and where his head is as we move deeper into winter and start eyeing what’s coming next for the season.

It’s a relaxed, honest check-in—no big experiments, no formal trials—just a pulse check on Seth, and what plans are starting to take shape for the months ahead.

Sometimes you don’t need a spectacle… just a status update.

There are very few things in life that are universally beloved: puppies, ice cream, and—above all else—Cousin Seth.

Yes, it’s finally here. A party that’s literally been half a century in the making. This episode is the official Sethstravaganza, celebrating Cousin Seth’s 50th anniversary on planet Earth. Fifty years. Five decades. An era.

We’re marking the occasion the only way we know how—with a star-studded lineup of guests, live video surprises, heartfelt moments, playful roasting, and the kind of loving chaos that only a Seth-sized milestone deserves.

This isn’t just a birthday episode. It’s a once-every-half-century event.

In this mid-January catch-up episode, Cousin Chad and Cousin Seth, Joe and Lee check in on life after the holidays—how the post-Christmas vibes are holding up and we cover a little about Seth's dating life...oh, who are we kidding, it was mainly about his dating life (with a special surprise segment starring Cousin Maria). Aside from that, I was on the episode and still don't know what it's about...remember, just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean Seth’s journey is.

New year, same questions—did Cousin Seth survive the holidays, or did the holidays finally survive him?

We’re kicking off Season 11 by wrapping up everything Seth thought his Christmas was going to be… and everything it actually turned into. Joined by Cousin Chad, Joe the Christmas Aficionado, and Cousin Lee (King of All Superfans), we dig into the real story behind Seth’s Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day.

Was it calm? Was it chaotic? Was it secretly magical? Or was it exactly as uneventful as Seth predicted—and if so, why does everyone else remember it differently?

This is the full holiday debrief: expectations vs. reality, surprises no one saw coming, and the moments Seth can’t walk back now that the season is officially over. It’s the first episode of the year, the official launch of Season 11, and the perfect reset before we do it all again.

The holidays are done. The verdict is in. And Seth is back on the record.

It’s the final episode before Christmas, and the Cousins are doing what they do best — checking in, slowing down (a little), and soaking it all in. This week, Cousin Seth and Cousin Chad talk through their actual holiday plans, what they’re most looking forward to, and the traditions they’re excited to revisit.

They also reflect on what didn’t happen this season — the things they hoped to do, meant to do, or are saving for next year. It’s thoughtful, funny, a touch sentimental, and exactly the kind of conversation you want in your ears as the holidays fully arrive.

From all of us to all of you — thanks for listening, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!!

Last week, we got Joe ready for Christmas Con — the fits, the confidence, the pre-Con glow-up, and the mental prep for being seen by thousands of people who already think they know you.

This week… we find out what actually happened.

Joe is back from Christmas Con in New Jersey, and we’re breaking down the full experience — from the moment he hit the convention floor to the last “wait… are you Joe?” interaction.

Did the glow-up deliver?

Who recognized him first?

Who did he meet?

What surprised him the most?

And what’s it really like when people finally see you in person, not through a screen?

We talk:

• Celebrity encounters and behind-the-scenes moments
• Fan reactions — the good, the awkward, and the unexpected
• How often people said, “You look exactly like your videos”
• What felt different once the Con actually started
• And whether he’d do it all again… or needs a recovery week first

This episode is the real-world follow-up to last week’s pre-Con glow-up — no filters, no prep, just the honest post-Con breakdown of what Christmas Con is actually like when you’re in it.

Hallmark goes Hanukkah — and the Christmas Cousins are here to talk about it. This week, we’re reviewing Hallmark’s Hanukkah-themed movie of the year, and we’ve assembled a truly elite panel for the occasion. Joining Cousins Seth and Chad are beloved returning guests Lee (aka the Prince of Pittsburgh), Kacy from @theheartofreviews and Jennifer from "Do You Watch What I Watch?"!

We dig into what works, what surprises us, what feels classic Hallmark, and where the movie genuinely shines. It’s thoughtful, fun, occasionally spicy, and full of the kind of cultural curiosity and festive joy we love exploring. Whether you watched the movie already or just want the highlights, this one’s a cozy, smart conversation worth spinning up.

This week, Cousin Chad is flying solo—well, as “solo” as one can be when joined by the unstoppable Joe the Christmas Aficionado, who has more Yuletide credentials than Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the entire North Pole HR department combined.

With Cousin Seth out on assignment (or possibly hiding from eggnog), Chad and Joe dive into three of the most consequential events of the season:

Christmas Con 2025 Preview:

Joe reveals his plans, appearances, potential meet-and-greets, and whether he’ll be signing autographs for the tens of thousands of fans who know him as “that wildly monetized YouTuber with great lighting.” Will there be photo ops? Security details? A velvet rope? Who’s he excited to meet? Who’s excited to meet HIM?

Joe’s Imminent, Highly Anticipated Haircut:

Yes, the legend returns. After six long weeks, the world finally gets the answer:

Will Joe’s famously impeccable hair return unchanged… or will he take a bold leap into “pre-Christmas Con chic”?

The stakes?

Global.

Emotional.

Possibly historical.

It’s a fun, fast, festive episode full of laughs, Christmas hype, and the kind of absurdly specific holiday joy we happily deliver to our cousins worldwide!
