Best of Christmas Podcasts 2022

We are pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Best of Christmas Podcast winners.

Just as we did for the Best of Christmas Podcasts 2021, we surveyed podcast listeners and Christmas fans by the thousands from around the world – both online and offline.

For two months we narrowed the field through open nominations.

Out of more than 400 suggestions we received votes for four months through online surveys here at MyMerryChristmas.com, through private polling online via popular podcast platforms, and offline through in-person surveys and phone calls.

After tens of thousands of votes, here are the winners of the Best of Christmas Podcasts 2022:

Christmas Cheer Award – Totally Rad Christmas
