A camel? The three kings, I swear, come in on a camel. Oh, I thought you were talking about Mary. Because she's on a donkey. Maybe. No, 100%. Mary's on a donkey. I thought they all came in via camel.

Not all of them, no. 100%. Met her on a donkey. I thought they all came in via camel. Not all of them, no. Let's Daybreak. Okay, so guys, it's bloody Christmas season. It is bloody Christmas season. So, here comes Santa Claus.

Here comes Santa Claus. Walking down Santa Claus Lane. Lovely. So, we're talking about Christmas. Now, will your Christmas tree be up? I'm actually upset we haven't got our Christmas tree up now. It's early December, okay? Is your Christmas tree up at home?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay, great. If I had it, when I have a home and a family, after bonfire night,bo trees going out yeah yeah completely I think my my Christmas tree at home I think it will be up I think my parents usually try to do early to no usually early December maybe around the 10th so maybe it's not fully up at the moment um do you have a real tree fake tree fake tree been in the family for years wow what's he called arnold no i've never really given him a name

you've never given him a name if i would i'd call him douglas because he's phenomenal because he looks like i honestly tried to keep a straight face he does i'll show you a photo. He looks like a Douglas. Without being extra, my mother this year has got three trees. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three trees. So I think we're going to have two real, one fake. So we are talking date ideas for Christmas.

Yeah. Now, I feel because it's Christmas time, you have to kind of be- Tread carefully. Tread carefully, Peach. You just read my mind. I took the words out, yeah. Now. She was like, get it right, get it right, get it right.

It'll be embarrassing. Because I feel, if you're in a relationship, Christmas, oh my God, date night's brilliant. Gun ho. Gun bloody ho. That's what I say. Everything is on tap, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

With your single, you also have the same events that are really great but you can't kind of go into them too quickly because it's a bit romantic they edge on too romantic imagine first date the guy's like boom winter wonderland for me i'm like what if we're going on the rides at winter wonderland and it's our first day i don't want to hear you scream on the roller coaster. Imagine he's like, I get vertigo, I get vertigo. He's like... Cueing for the ride as well is a bit awkward.

Then you get on the ride and you're like, oh, that was fun. That was lovely. Your hair looks shit. Your hair looks shit. You look windswept. You cracked a rib. Windswept.

You got your foundation on. You let a tear out because you went so fast. It's cold. Nah, your fake tan looks shit. Your hair's frizzy. You look like one of the bush babies. You don't want to grab hop choccy with me.

No, absolutely not. That's not going to want to happen. Not a chance. No. If you had your ideal Christmas date in a relationship, what would you rather do? Would you rather stay in what's the activity

you'd want to do there or an activity you'd want to do out that you think would be super romantic okay so my ideal christmas dates yeah i feel like we've just shot on it but chris winter one land 100 in a relationship it's great it's easy it's fun the lights are cute it's festive you can get like a hot chocolate or a mulled wine or eggnog you know just kind of go together i think that's great another thing i mean if going out low-key wise go for a river walk walk near the river or go through the park yeah get all rugged up have your beanie have your scarf gloves have a hot chocolate i think that's really romantic it's a really kind of romantic so i think that's perfect that's really nice last year arch and i made gingerbread houses oh that was so cute and it

was great like it was just so much fun we we laughed our socks i mean we ended up having a food fight we're just chucking the food but because they look shit but we had so much fun we made these little houses we were laughing we had christmas music on so although christmas time is expensive the dates don't have to be yeah because you have to be aware that you're spending money on so much at that time of the year that you can do gingerbread night or you can go out for a walk so i kind of like that and then literally as you said going into central london and seeing the christmas lights together i'm like you you know something else that i would 100 doing a drive

going in the drive together oh going when you're going for a drive when there are houses that are like candy cane lane candy cane lane just getting in the car now how do you feel single gal what would your ideal dates be um going out yep versus staying in and remember you're a single girl so this is like the first few stages it's what would you pick see i feel like i'd opt in for a going out date more if i was chatting to someone and he's like should we go over and make gingerbread i'm like that's that's lovely but i'm like we've just met you'd actually think you'd be like a gingerbread fanatic okay i mean we could like i feel like you come with your cutters yeah i used these last year yeah yeah i feel like i would be winter one lands too soon too soon i would say maybe a christmas market

oh could be nice that's a good and there are some phenomenal ones there are some really nice christmas markets i've actually seen on tiktok a lot um and i noticed it down i actually kind of want to go with a big group um yeah so you could do both like date big group friends yeah is pergola in paddington which is like a bar have this like christmas i've seen it event they do every friday and saturday and they have like a brass band and it's just like drinks heaters they have like s'mores stuff like that like really nice and festive which could be good see i did write down something but i'm i wrote i wrote down two things and i thought you're gonna laugh and i also think this is a bit too intense okay okay oh no oh no it's matching but i think i think going to a carol service could be quite romantic I'm crying I'm crying Keita's like

honestly like when they just hit those notes like I fell in love he's like tell me about it I'm like shush shush

shush I'm listening I'm in the music okay I'm in the music I'm like stealing eyes I heard carol service

I do think I feel that's do you know what it's very romantic it's a we did Arch and I did one when we went to Vienna we went to the service and it was beautiful but I feel that's quite intimidating Katie's like asking guys like you want to you want to come to the carol service with me midnight mass midnight mass I do this something about carol servers that i just think is so like gorgeous what it is to be fair the voices the songs it is pretty spectacular but as a first date i do it would be i did write it down and the second thing is along that vein

is i would love to go and you know future, you will watch these back. Oh, absolutely. So, listen. Yeah. I really want to go to, like, the Holiday in Concert, Love Actually in Concert. You know, when the Royal... I would love to do that. It's not... It's like the London Orchestra. Yeah. The Classical Orchestra. And they play the soundtrack as well as they play the movie, don't they?

So, you watch the movie as... I've always wanted to do that with Love Actually, the Holiday the snowman i fucking love the snowman again case this isn't really talking a lot though with your partner but i think what what dates could be good for single people because that's not good that is not a good idea i think that's a good day because especially if you're not vibing with them you're like so tell me about we're walking i feel like that's a fun activity in the sense especially maybe if you bond over classical music not that i would right if you both like classical music yeah good shout yeah and you both don't both don't want to talk to each other the other one that i thought

that could be a good indoor contender yeah outdoor i mean yeah um is like the q gardens oh like thing great idea where you bought that's a great one now we got there took us long enough okay so we're gonna go on to christmas date stories so we wrote to the debrief yeah so can you tell me some tragic yeah christmas date stories so i've got two really good ones first ones i'm gonna read to you and then you can go but i'm gonna read this first one to you okay so hi girls love the pod thank you thank you sorry if this is a long story but you'll love it i met this guy online let's David. Oh, David. Okay. Gosh, I feel bad.

David. David. David. Okay. I went on a few dates with him and I felt that I started to get feelings for him. It was cuffing season after all. Yeah. Good girl.

She gets it. She's been listening. She's been listening. He asked a lot about my family, my job and my ambitions. He was super respectful, but also flirty and charming. I soon learned as we got to know each other that he organized events and entertainments as his job. Oh, wow.

And as I managed weddings, this was really exciting. Oh, great. And I thought it was compatible. Anyways, Christmas came round and I take my little sister to go see Santa at the shopping centre near to ours. Yeah. Where is this going? We are in the line and I walk her to go and see Santa

and she sits in his lap and asks if I will as well. Fucking awkward, but I did it for her. And as I'm asking Santa for... Oh my God. Oh my God. And as I'm asking Santa for for my oh my god oh no no as i'm asking santa for my olaplex and lulu leggings i look santa in the eye and it's fucking david oh my god girls i got immediate i never saw him again i was so embarrassed can you imagine

i'm not being funny can you imagine imagine imagine imagine you go on a date you go on a date he goes to carol concert and you're like you're like what david what do you do and he's like i'm an events organizer you're like great you sit on his knee when he's dressed as santa you look him in the eye you're like david what the i'm not being funny so so was that was he not on events oh what's he doing well maybe he isn't maybe he just wanted maybe he just enjoys making kids christmases you know what i mean maybe maybe he just but that for me that's a personal act oh oh my god would you rather though would you rather he be santa or one of the elves you know in the santa santa at least he's big daddy yeah at least he's big dog yeah at least

at least if he's sandra's big dog who's on the chair elf or sandra yeah yeah come on he gets his own you know chair and he's slay and everything yeah the elves have to put on a voice you know like hey like yeah they do that would just embarrass me are we excited to see sienna no no no no no i actually can't i actually can't do you know what i could see that happening to me oh it was 100 it was you that righted no no genuinely lying i could see that happening it was it would but yeah he'd be rudolph he'd be mrs claus right okay you read me one okay she says um i was seeing a guy let's call him ben okay we love the name ben my my imaginary boyfriend is called ben as well when i say casey's gonna get in a relationship i'm like so what would you do if ben and we know it's always

so it's ben okay um she's on the vibe she's on the vibe ben and i had been dating for a month or so we went for a christmas date at a wine bar oh great but they've got christmas trees they've got ornaments but it's not too committal lovely mulled wine there had been a spark between us at first but the more i dated him the less short i was so she was like not vibing she said i wanted to give it a bit more of a chance before i made any decisions okay but when we were sat over drinks it only confirmed to me that my feelings for him were not there okay and it was like nothing more than friendly okay fine fine so he split the bill then yeah interested so he goes to the loom okay and she's sat there like debating how to kind of say in a nice way look i'm gonna go but i think this should be it

how to kind of break it off with him oh god that's that's brave i'm gonna go but i think this should be it i can't kind of break it off with him oh god that's that's brave i'm not being funny i'd be like see ya i'm like merry christmas you know what give him a big smack of root be like you're the love of my life blog yep ghosting go i'd go naughty naughty naughty naughty shouldn't be doing ghost of christmas past ghost of christmas past um got me on the shackles and then she says all this went out the window when ben came back and pulled out my christmas present oh she loves the christmas do you know what she's after my own heart she wanted the present she felt like the what she said i felt like the worst person in the world as i unwrapped a stunning pair of silver earrings i didn't break up with

ben that evening but i think he realized things were fizzling out when i didn't give him a present in return and we went our separate ways the next day but imagine like seeing someone and then you're like really full and you get them a christmas present they're like oh oh my god that's awful oh my god that actually broke my heart and she says i love how she's like thanks she's like see ya see ya later loser but when she says her feelings changed does she mean like she felt bad i think yeah she felt oh okay but she she wasn't like oh let's give this a go no i think she was like imagine like popping to the loo thinking i can't wait to give her these i'm so excited and she's sat there thinking fuck how do i end it with this guy i just feel like you should have a conversation about gifts if

you're still early stages depends how many dates if you're like five dates in i'd maybe expect you to take me out for dinner maybe like something that can be shared together and then merry christmas because christmas is very early on in a relationship is is kind of hard to navigate i mean gifts in general are hard to navigate when you're early on in a relationship so i thought we hit the nail on the head with the silver earrings i don't know i think that's a bit much oh do you you think that's too much i'd rather him say are we doing gifts this year like do you want to do gifts oh that's so awkward though if you just like and then you're like oh no and you're like abso-fucking-lutely i'd rather someone get me like flowers and be like, Merry Christmas.

Do you know what? Your point of taking you out for a meal is nice. Where it's like, look on me, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Chin chin. Give me a kiss.

You look gorgeous. Let's get ourselves dressed up. Take you out for a nice meal. Do you know what I think is better? That's nice. A card. A Christmas card. That's quite intimate early on though.

Because if you're like, I think meal's better. I mean, because if you're like i think meals better i mean what do you like what do you do i think meal meal meal meal is a good shout yeah yeah okay i'm gonna read you another one we've got a dilemma and she says it's a current weekend dilemma just happened she's literally just written in she said hey kitty and katie current weekend dilemma and i don't know what to do so basically i met this guy through a friend of a friend a few years ago he was 100% my type and he has said i am as well brilliant every time i see him at friends parties birthdays get togethers we always flirt and end up kissing and sometimes go back with each other oh my god i love this

the problem is i genuinely would love to be in a relationship with him yeah but he's not that kind of guy at all ah that's he's 28 and never really i never properly kept a long-term girlfriend men oh man uh he usually gets bored and enjoys being single right that's the right flag right although if he's good looking and you have a friend of a friend kind of thing oh always get together you always kind of shag after that's hard that's really hard anyways last week dot dot dot oh my god he asked me on a date oh i was I was fucking ecstatic. Well, yeah. It was for the Saturday just gone. He said to me to get dressed up really nice,

in brackets, black tie-esque. Fuck off. Anyway, so I'm fully glammed up and he comes to pick me up. He is in his suit and looks incredible. Oh my God. You've broken this man. He's like all for you.

And I'm just so excited as it must be a nice place we're going to as we are both so dressed up yeah i ask him where we're going to but he says it's a surprise so we get out of the car and it's this oh my gosh it's at this huge skyscraper building so i'm thinking it's kind of a rooftop vibe lovely oh as Oh. As we walk in, the person at the front desk seems to know him by his name and says hello.

Oh God. I feel like I know where this is going. We get in the lift and get upstairs and there are loads of people there. No tables or waiters.

For fuck's sake. More of a bar vibe with lots of people mingling. I soon realise that we're at his office Christmas party. Oh, i knew it oh it's super weird and i'm feeling really out of place he is arm in arm with me all night and

introduces me to his colleagues as his girlfriend what and that this is the girl he has been talking about we end up being there for the whole night and i go earlier as we arrived at seven and it was still going on till two oh fuck anyways it's now monday i'm writing this into you girls and i still haven't heard from him dot dot dot what the hell is going on why is he introducing tell me gaty why is he introducing my girlfriend why are you lying we're not girlfriend and boyfriend he's been big dog in the office yeah like lying yeah and that's that's that's my concern so they've known each other for years let's depict this okay every time they see them each see each other they kiss and they sometimes get like sometimes sleep together so there's clearly a sexual attraction that there's

something that obviously so i think we need to reassure you to be like he is clearly attracted to you yeah you know there's clearly interest there and he wouldn't have asked you if he wasn't that's true that's absolutely true however the big red flag is that he's never had a long-term relationship he doesn't keep girls around for a long time um he doesn't like commitment and then why introducing me as your girlfriend i'm not your girlfriend on a night off why are you lying i wonder if for this girlie if he texted her saying look um i really want you to come to my work christmas do with me how it would pale and compare like would would she still be like would she say would you go she said that she literally would

love to be in a relationship with him so i think if he was like let's just can you come to the christmas i think she would have gone so why are you doing the lie like why are you lying saying i'll take you out on a date lying saying oh it's somewhere nice i'm not gonna tell you lie you lie to everyone saying that i'm your girlfriend because it kind of flips on its head because if i was friends with bennies with a guy and he goes look i've got my work christmas to do i can't lie like i've accidentally got caught in a bit of a yarn where i've said you're my girlfriend would you come i'd find it i'll be like yeah yeah i'd come and then you can play girlfriend all night it's the fact that's quite flirty even isn't it like every rom-com starts that way and i'd be like oh boyfriend like stop

it and then later on you're in the elevator yeah left and you kiss and if you're pretending to be a couple all night like come on i don't know what to advise her what do you think i think wait for him to make the next move but don't let him yeah don't let him do this again in the sense of you know i would if you've got this kind of relationship anyway yeah i would banter with him you know if he says oh can i take you out next week say something like oh another office party is that yeah you know keep and then that kind of lets him know yeah don't do that again i don't let your pride be hurt because he clearly wanted you there yeah he thinks you're someone to feel proud of because that's why he brought you yeah but the onus is on him to make the move it

really is that was shitty that was it was him to make the move it really is that was shitty that was it was shitty it was the lying actually and that that for me that's a red flag it's like the relationship hasn't already yeah hasn't even started off and you're lying it's like your ex your ex would lie all the time yes it's like over teeny tiny things it's like you don't you just need to yeah yeah oh i'm sorry girl please do write in and let us know how that goes i really hope he responds i do oh oh my god okay guys we've got something really exciting we have got to get us getting festive yeah we've got a cheeky little christmas quiz i can't wait to do this okay so. So we've got three categories, all right? Yep. Category one, music. Music.

Oh, okay. I will say to give you a clue. Yeah. This is one of my favorite Christmas films. Oh God. But the review is this gluttonous film is coated in a kind of buttery stuff. A soft golden glow of a sats romance. It's as if they've taken the brown gooey contents of a million Mars bars and use it to develop the film with the leftovers being poured down our throats everything is bizarrely unreal

wow okay like grinch yeah yeah yeah okay gluttonous it says gluttonous it's definitely not love actually no it's definitely not um a holiday it can't be although they do have that scene and it feels like a timely romance oh holiday i'm gonna say the holiday it is honestly i was like what dare you What a weird description. Really, really weird description. I bloody love the holidays, so they need to get their act together. Yeah. Okay, are you ready for round two? I'm ready. What film is this quote from?

Yep. Now, mine's a bit historical, so get your thinking cap on, all right?

I'm ready. Historically, women in England who wanted to find a husband ate what at Christmas time for good luck? Oh, my God. Now, I will preface, it is something that you eat at Christmas. Christmas pudding. No. No. Turkey. No. christmas pudding no no turkey no cranberry sauce no um it's gonna be a dessert isn't it it's gonna be like a dessert of some kind um i'm gonna say trifle no okay one more um roulade no no gingerbread man oh for fuck's sake yeah but it makes sense

that makes sense ain't gingerbread man i mean how cute is this that they made gingerbread men and ate them because it was like good luck i'll find a husband sometime like oh it's so cute that's where they see me today this uh season yeah my food question yeah is about different countries' traditions. Ooh. Food traditions. Ooh, okay. So the first one is I'm going to give you three options of what a Japanese Christmas traditional food is.

Ooh, okay. So you have a KFC, a chicken roast dinner, or apples. Oh. I feel like it's rogue. So I am going to say KFC. It is kfc is it so it says why because of a very small christian population japan has very few christmas traditions um so it started to grow in the 70s where i think kfc like fast food was being pushed so so KFC began to promote fried chicken as a Christmas meal oh my gosh no way

it says more Christmas Eve okay but they eat it at Christmas but it's like my god my mum should move there

she loves the KFC oh my god love it okay your final question Paige yeah you ready

to retain yourself what did Oliver Cromwell ban in the 1650s Christmas no no no I'm giving you the option

I'm like give me a sec give me a sec okay ready first one mince pies second one Christmas pudding

fuck's sake third one mulled wine wouldn't be mulled wine I feel like it was Christmas pudding you're kidding for fuck's sake it was mince bloody pies i didn't know mince pies have been around that long yeah and he says in

order to tackle gluttony yeah oh gluttony and you're keeping mulled wine yeah he loved it didn't swear he died of gout or wasn't that someone's a loser wasn't that henry yeah he actually died yes yes he was but i got the joke i got it thanks okay um ask me the question next one is yeah italian christmas edition yeah they have something called the feast of the seven oh is it fish birds or nuts i just think it's not nuts. I'm going to just take away nuts, okay? We're all nuts. I feel like Italians like more kind of red meat maybe,

so then I'm thinking more kind of game. I'm going to say bird. Eh-eh. You're joking, it's fish. It's fish. Ah, damn! It says, The roots of the feast place in southern italy

a country dominated by delicious fish dishes from the bountiful coastline damn it damn it it says it's also quite popular amongst italian italian american families um when italians went to america in the 1880s oh interesting so it becomes more of an italian american tradition as well as mainly Southern Italian. Kate's come here. Good game, good game. Right, guys, we're not

just pretty faces. We're here to learn, okay? Yeah. I hope you learned something about Christmas. It's going to get everyone so festive. Okay, we've got to crack on.

So let's go on to... Six. Six. Well, winner of the quiz, you go first. Yeah, I didn't want to fast yeah just i didn't want to admit it didn't want to admit it but you're not thanks thanks are you ready yeah okay so during the half marathon guys i did a half marathon and as i was running yeah there was a man in front of me running as well did i hear him hack up his life like to the front of his mouth and he spat it it flew across the bloody ground and literally right in front of me thank god i wasn't like it didn't hit me it was like i'm not even going to describe it because it makes me rash

why are you spitting and if you're spitting go to the side why are you doing that do not spit on my trainers no no like for me i thought if i was watching i don't care if you're running 21 miles 21k even if i saw my boyfriend spitting across the ground spitting spitting spitting icks me why are you doing that oh it makes me oh it cringes me lovely tell me my ick is i was getting on the um tube the other day and i just missed the tube and i'm walking down the stairs and some guy fucking went running running running running running sees the doors hitting the bottom of the ground and he's like oh hits the side of the tube he hits the train because he couldn't get and i'm like oh my love there's one coming in two minutes

there's one coming in two minutes you know what darling it's not the end of the world it's all right ceasefire hold on it's all right don't you worry honestly half the time those trains are just waiting for that one to leave so they just roll in it's ridiculous that is so embarrassing it's all gonna be okay okay let's go on to question question serious so on the theme of christmas yeah what would you do oh oh if your boyfriend stays with you for christmas he arrives on like the 23rd you're so excited christmas day arrives like your parents have done him a stocking like you're so excited and you're all the happening around gifts he's got no gifts or cards oh my god for anyone including you oh my god like he's not got your family anything he's not got you anything no and not even like a card to say thanks for having me he arrives with nothing like he's just kind of like oh okay well this would be very surprising as it's not in Archie's nature however

oh my gosh I'd be so well I'd be embarrassed first of all I'd be like I mean I'd be livid I didn't get a bloody necklace or something so I'd be like side note it's like shit you've done that to my parents even worse you've got nothing for me nothing for me to star myself with at Christmas it's like how am I gonna look now now i haven't even got a new piece to wear for new year's what's that about yes you know the thought process you know because it's so out of his nature i wouldn't um shit on him i think he's maybe left it yeah so i would subtly just be like oh did you did you accidentally leave my parents cars but it would it would it's not about the money it would be that i've now yeah i and and my parents are so sweet they

wouldn't say anything but archie brings something every single time he comes whether it's a card some flowers for my mom i think and i don't think they'd make a big deal because they love him but i think they'd be like oh i just feel like it's christmas is big as well even even like like like you said like if you're staying like flowers or a card it doesn't have like it does not have to be unless your kid does not have to be you know the necklace or the new christmas piece yeah no it's true it's different with girlfriends and boys yeah with family like if you get like a little even a little something something like you know something they'll enjoy yeah completely thoughtful so i would find that really really difficult okay i'm gonna read you the silly question silly okay oh it's a great one

if you were a christmas song what would you be and why and wait what would your hypothetical boyfriend be in a christmas song as well as in your type so what is your type in a christmas song and why okay okay okay i've got it i've got it i've got it okay i would be yeah little drummer boy little drummer boy now you're saying this yeah i've gone in too hard too fast i'm gonna change my answer i'm simply having a wonderful christmas time paul mccartney oh the choir of children oh that's me you've got all your little parts going on yeah yeah the moon is right i'm like yeah yes why would you pick that i think why is that you it's reliable lovable unickable unickable now what's your type in a christmas song i think my type would be and it's a tie okay

is and i know you hate it i feel like my type would be either fairy tale of new york by the pokes yeah i absolutely love that song i just it just i'm like christmas it makes me go feral for christmas does that or yeah um oh my god i had it driving home for christmas well i'm hoping that your type is driving home for christmas it'll be either or yeah okay it'll be a driving if it's a fairy tale then he's a fuck boy what do you think you'd be okay i would love to be santa baby you would be santa baby because i'm telling you christmas is about presents she goes yeah and she's like it's about do you know what it's about it's about the jewelry it's about the shoes it's about the scarves it's the new dresses yeah yeah so i'm telling you baby i want a yacht and really that's not a lot yeah so 100% me a

little bit cheeky a little bit cheeky but she knows what she wants and i love that yeah okay i feel my type would be i need something a bit like i'm gonna have a quick look at my list do you know what i think arch would be oh go on and it's a shame because there's something about the song i really dislike and i'm just um that's actually sounds harsher than it is i think arch suits the song yeah i think he would be stepping to christmas oh step into christmas oh i could see i would definitely i could see you put that one as well or i would do i love um and we've already mentioned it Last Christmas Wham it's kind of
