'Twas The Night Before Christmas - JNC Christmas Eve!
Send us a textChristmas Eve at the JNC Lounge is always about connection, laughs, and a little holiday chaos—and this year did not disappoint. I kicked back with the Destruction Crew to celebrate the season the only way we know how: strong drinks, ridiculous games, nonstop banter, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit. From tracking Santa’s global joyride to testing our brains (and mouths) with viral party games, this episode is pure festive fun with just enough heartfelt moments to remind us why we do this every year.We mixed up holiday shots, battled through technical gremlins, played a Santa themed round of Name That Tune, dove headfirst into the hilariously unhinged Words on Beat game, and even squeezed in some surprise gifts and seasonal storytelling. We wrapped it all up with our annual reading of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, because some traditions are sacred—no matter how unhinged the night gets.LINKSJNC Officialhttps://www.jncpodcast.comSupport us on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jncpodcast
