In this Christmas special, Santa (Calum), Mrs Claus (Lisa), and Fred the Elf (Andrew’s proudly displayed festive companion) gather for a year-end episode that’s equal parts heartfelt and hilariously unhinged.

From Calum’s failed Santa beard reveal to jokes about ransacked houses, the trio dive straight into festive chaos exactly the way a From Pitch to Pontoon Christmas should be.

Between the laughs, they look back on six months of podcasting: the guests who inspired them, the stories that stuck, the episode that made them cry with laughter (and will likely never see daylight), and the unexpectedly touching moments that made listeners feel part of the family.

There’s also unseen footage with the now-infamous debate over what to call their listeners (Pontooners? Pitches?), reflections on industry conversations, and a glimpse into everyone’s Christmas plans including Calum’s first tree in over a decade.

Warm, candid and beautifully chaotic, this festive episode captures everything that makes the show what it is: real people, real stories, and a lot of genuine laughter.

Grab a mince pie, settle in, and spend Christmas with the From Pitch to Pontoon family.
