It’s the final episode of season one of Cross Culture. Can you believe it?! Well, you can weep about it into your tub of celebrations because it’s also the Christmas Special, baby.    We, Lauren and Belle, give you our review of 2024 - offering our biggest ‘moments’, ‘heroes’, ‘plot-twists’ and ‘trends’. And then, we get christmassy with it. We talk sit-com specials, cheesy Netflix Christmas films, advent content, and Gavin and Stacey predictions. All for your listening pleasure (and for ours too, if we’re honest).   We have truly loved spending these past couple of months with you and cannot wait to join you again in 2025. But until then, it’s a merry cheerio from us.  Much love,  The Twindles x    For the advent books: Honest Advent by Scott Erickson, Morgan Harper Nichols | Waterstones  Advent by Fleming Rutledge | Waterstones   For the Motherland Christmas special (it’s better than Belle made it sound, we promise): Motherland - Christmas Special - BBC iPlayer   For the Hallmark Christmas film connoisseurs among you: https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81766198 https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81764579 https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81045305   For Seen and Unseen’s Christmas countdown: seenandunseen.com / Instagram  Disclaimer: While this is a Christian podcast, we discuss mainstream and secular content which may include bad language, sexual content and violence, please use your own discretion when deciding what to engage with.
