Ep. 18 Krampus is Coming to Town
Manage episode 453389729 series 3585233
In this episode of Kraken Cans Cast, we dive deep into the chilling legend of Krampus, the Christmas enforcer of the naughty list. We explore the history of this horned holiday terror, his partnership with Saint Nick, and how they make the ultimate good cop/bad cop team.
We also talk about the traditions of Krampusnacht and Krampuslauf—nights filled with parades, costumes, and chaos—and how the popularity of this infamous figure is spreading across the U.S.
Plus, we share an intense Reddit story that will make you think twice about misbehaving during the holidays and unpack Krampus’s appearances in pop culture and media. To wrap it up, we draft our fantasy 3v3 teams of 90s/2000s cartoon characters who’d be at the very top of Krampus’s naughty list.
Grab a festive brew and join us for a creepy, hilarious ride through holiday folklore like you’ve never heard it before!
