Christmas Past
Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters. Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It's equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore! Christmas Past is one of the longest running Christmas podcasts, now in its ninth season. Vanity Fair says: "With excellent production, engaging narration, and short, digestible running times, Christmas Past is perfect to put on while decorating your tree or preparing Christmas dinner."Brian's book, Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions, is available in hardcover from Lyons Press and an audiobook from Recorded Books! Get your copy today wherever books are sold. And remember...it makes a great gift!

My Favorite Christmas Podcast

I’ve been a listener of Christmas Past since 2019 and have come back for it year after year. As a lover of history, I appreciate how Brian curates historical content with the Christmas season, helping us explore all its rich layers of culture and tradition. This podcast never fails to foster that warm and nostalgic feeling I am blessed to enjoy this time of year. May we never take Christmas for granted, and may God bless us, every one!
The best Christmas podcast!

This is my 4th or 5th Christmas listening to Christmas Past podcast. I love the variety of content and how it’s presented along with the music and listener stories. I recommend to my brother who drives 3 hours back and forth during the Christmas holidays. Although I love this for me, it would be nice to have a family version I could listen to with my kids. Thanks Brian!
Comforting, heartwarming

I love this podcast! I have recommended it to my family for some wonderful holiday listening! I’m actually starting from the beginning and trying to go through all the episodes. I also love the host’s voice. His voice is very comforting and pleasant. It’s my go-to in the holiday season!
