Happy Holidays, everyone! Wynter and Karen are joined by special guest panelists Tre\\u2019Vell Anderson (Director of Culture and Entertainment at\\xa0Out Magazine) and\\xa0\'Who Shot Ya?\'s\'\\xa0Alonso Duralde to create the ultimate holiday playlist. Each panelist created a top ten list of their favorite holiday songs, out of which they\\u2019d select twenty for inclusion in the official\\xa0Pop Rocket Holiday Playlist. Well, that was the plan, anyway. In practice, when faced with making the tough choices, they flopped. Whose version of "Sleigh Ride" should be on the playlist: Andy Williams\\u2019s, Ella Fitzgerald\\u2019s or TLC\\u2019s? Spoiler alert: They couldn\\u2019t decide.

Plus, the panelists describe their holiday family traditions, and if you\\u2019ve ever been curious what the most popular Philippine Christmas song is, resident scholar Karen Tongson reveals the answer.

From Ella Fitzgerald to Donny Hathaway, from the Morehouse Glee Club to Quad City DJs, the variety of musical stylings in this episode will get your feet tappin\'.

All Abouts

For the last All Abouts of the year, each panelist picked one thing in 2018, that they could watch, listen to, read, or consume, OVER & OVER again.

Alonso is all about the Amber Ruffin segment on Late Night With Seth Meyers -\\xa0\'Amber Says Why\'

Karen is still all about the series finale of\\xa0The Americans.

Tre\\u2019Vell is awed by EVERYTHING about Cardi B, but especially her recent appearance with James Corden in\\xa0Carpool Karaoke.

Wynter can\\u2019t stop watching\\xa0Mission Impossible: Fallout.
