To say that the 2020 holiday season is a wildly depressing one would be a preposterous understatement. Thanks to the pandemic, we’ll all be spending the final moments of the year in the same way we’ve spent the past 10 months: largely isolated while binging on old favorites, new comforts, and existential malaise.

Kevin Spacey has shared another Christmas Eve video on YouTube, the third consecutive year that he’s posted such a clip to his channel. Called 1-800 XMAS, this video is slightly bleaker than previous years, where Spacey shows empathy to those who are enduring hardships during the holiday season. “If you’re standing in a place that you can no […]

While Bruce Willis may not consider his 1988 action classic Die Hard a “Christmas movie,” director John McTiernan sees things a bit differently. McTiernan linked up with the American Film Institute to share a 12-minute video in which he lays out the case for categorizing the franchise-launching hit as a holiday classic. “Die Hard was a […]
The sounds of jingle bells are upon us as the holiday season has arrived, meaning it’s officially that time of the year to bring the sneakerhead in your life some much-needed cheer. You could buy them sneakers, but that’s always a risky move considering how particular footwear obsessives can be. These are your other options. […]
Chance the Rapper and Jeremih’s holiday album collection Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama: The Gift That Keeps on Giving is now available for the first time on all streaming platforms.

James Dixon, a Chicago man in his late 20s, has been charged with murder for the fatal stabbing of 52-year-old Vincell Jackson, following a dispute related to Thanksgiving leftovers.
