It's the most wonderful time of the year...or is it? Join Nick and Becca for a christmas special about...christmas specials. Yup, it's some seasonal meta for you. In this festive episode, Nick and Becca play Christmas Chicken, and invite you to play along too. The rules are simple, the duo have each secretly chosen a Christmas special show from a major pop music artist for the other to watch. But, the twist is that the aim of the game is to try and make each other cave first from the utter holiday kitsch overload. Who can stand the Christmas cringe the longest? You'll have to listen to find out. 

Featuring deep dives on the allure of  Christmas specials with the undisputed King of Christmas Michael Bublé and a very memorable cameo from Dawn French in 2011's Home for Christmas,, and The Spice Girls Christmas in SpiceWorld Concert. Plus, an honourable mention for Jane Macdonald. Yup we went there.  With comedy tangents,  surprising discoveries and plenty of holiday hilarity; we’ve gone in on the Christmas kitsch to bring you the highest stakes festive competition in human history. As ever this episode of Gig It Up is a joyful leap into the art and love of live music. Thanks for listening, have a great Christmas!
