Let's be real: keeping your kids entertained [1] is a full-time job, and listening to "Baby Shark" will slowly drive you crazy. If you feel the same way about listening to the same three Christmas songs, why not try podcasts instead?
Podcast fans know there's a podcast about pretty much any topic you can think of [2], including the holidays. But family-friendly podcasts [3] can be harder to find. Ahead, we've created a list of 10 kid-approved holiday podcasts to get everyone in the holiday spirit [4]. Whether you're looking for something funny, educational, or both, there's a festive podcast that your little ones will love.
Santa's Podcast
Every day in December, Santa Claus releases a short podcast episode that answers a question or tells a story. Last year was this podcast's first season, so there's a whole month's worth of episodes to enjoy before it all starts again Dec. 1.
