Ever wondered how porridge with hidden almonds landed on Finnish Christmas tables or why Germans fill stockings on December 6th? It's time to take off on a jolly trip around the world on the Brazen podcast, with your hosts, Callie Hughes and Valerie King-Mowler, as we uncover these unique holiday customs and look at reimagining your own traditions. We kick things off with a playful game of two truths and a lie and then it's all about sharing our favorite traditions, whether it's decking the tree on birthdays, or raising a toast on Christmas Eve.

Can the festive spirit of Christmas and New Year's be celebrated beyond parties and resolutions? We think so! In this episode, we discuss the beauty of different cultures and how they honor these holidays. We express our love for the cozy, festive atmosphere during winter and talk about adding a touch of significance to New Year's celebrations. We then make a pit stop in Finland, Germany, and Switzerland to uncover some unique practices. From hitting the sauna in Finland, molten lead future predictions in Germany, to homemade advent calendars in Switzerland, we explore a host of enticing global traditions. By the time you wrap up the episode, we hope you'll be inspired to blend some of these customs into your celebrations and make the holiday season even more merry and meaningful.
