Hello Internet Christmas special episodes
Since Hello Internet's debut, CGP Grey and Brady Haran have released a new Christmas-themed episode of the podcast on December 25 of each year. They are all titled
"Christmas Specials" (with the exception of the 12 Days of Hello Internet series) and are distinguished by their deviation from the typical Hello Internet discussion format. Four of the Christmas specials were recorded following the release of a new Star Wars film that month, and they are each centered around a discussion and review of the most recent installment. Departing from the format of the previous specials, the 12 Days of Hello Internet series consists of twelve short installments that were released one day at a time from December 2018 to January 2019.
