Nat, Drew & Erin are on Christmas holidays, so today we bring you another episode of Drew's holiday music series, Behind the Christmas Hits. Each episode tells the story of a different Christmas song or album and today, Pat Monahan from Train talks about their album that inspired a Hallmark Christmas movie, Christmas in Tahoe. A movie that was filmed here in Vancouver and Pat appeared in. Festive fun times!

While Nat, Drew & Erin are on Christmas holidays, enjoy another episode of Drew's holiday series Behind the Christmas Hits. Each episode tells the story of a different Christmas song, and does this one ever have a story. For a song that's sparked so much discussion & controversy in recent years, it began as something a husband & wife sang at dinner parties with no intention of ever recording it. Enjoy!

While the show is officially on Christmas holidays, we're going to feature a few episodes from Drew's holiday podcast series Behind the Christmas Hits. Each episode tells the story of a different Christmas song and today he's joined by Taylor Momsen who played Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey.

Taylor later stared in Gossip Girl and fronts the rock band The Pretty Reckless. They have a new Christmas EP out where Taylor duets with her 6-year-old self on the song she first sang in The Grinch. It's a pretty school story - making The Grinch was where Taylor first fell in love with the recording studio. Enjoy!

Who has the most unusual piece of Christmas decor? Nat can't believe the 7-foot tall Darth Vadar has become such a hot seller.
