    Wizards of Whoville! with David Henrie | 7

    The Grinch has had it with holiday tourism. The selfie sticks. The nonstop oohing and ahhing at lights. And the absolute worst part, the fact that he has somehow become a Who-ville landmark. PACK IT UP. BOOK A RETURN TRIP. AND LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT. Then, David Henrie drops in to talk about the magic of growing up on Wizards of Waverly Place and embracing its legacy, even if it officially makes him a Disney adult. He also explains why Selena Gomez will always be his Cindy Lou Who. After that, the Grinch hires Who-ville’s hottest stylist. His everyday, 100% green fur coat just isn’t going to cut it for the Palooza.

    Therapy’s Got Me Green! with Jake Shane | 6

    The Grinch is not about to sleigh around town in a rideshare. What, he’s supposed to scoot over for Donner, Dasher, Vixen?! And the WORST part? The holiday small talk with the driver! Absolutely NOT! The Ten Toe Express will do just fine this winter. Then Jake Shane stops by to therapize his prickliest, most curmudgeonly, celeb-adjacent superstar yet: the Grinch, who is somehow both the patient and the problem. Meanwhile, the Grinch attempts to break ground on the giant mosh pit for his festival and accidentally awakens some of Whoville’s most ghostly bunch. Ho ho no.

    Oh. What. Fun! with Devery Jacobs | 5

    The Grinch has had it with Christmas clutter. No one cares that you went to Paris and brought back an Eiffel Tower ornament. Why does your sidewalk need a candy cane runway? And what’s that at the bottom of the bin… a forgotten wreath? WRONG. Junk. Then Devery Jacobs stops by to chat about Canadian traditions like Boxing Day, how cold it gets up north, and what life is like in her Indigenous homeland of Kahnawà:ke Mohhawk Territory, eh. Afterwards, the Grinch starts plotting his grand entrance for Grinch-A-Palooza, and it may or may not involve a cannon.

    Going Super Sonic! with Ben Schwartz | 4

    The Grinch knows he’s one of the last true one-name icons. Adele. Beyoncé. Grinch. But people with three names—first, middle, and last? Pick a lane, bro! Then, Ben Schwartz drops by to talk Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Grinch has thoughts for a reboot of his own. (Spoiler: it involves strapping a real hedgehog to a nitrous rocket.) Later, the Grinch hunts for a security squad to keep the Grinch-a-palooza mosh pit festive, feral, and juuuust shy of criminal.

    Party Like a Gronk-Star! with Rob Gronkowski | 3

    The Grinch can’t stomach another “Get Ready With Me” on InstaWho or WhoTok. There’s only room for one influencer in this town, and his message is simple: ABOLISH CHRISTMAS. Then, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski blitzes into the cave and shocks everyone by comparing the Grinch to his former coach, Bill Belichick. Meanwhile, the Grinch’s plan to sabotage the Whoville Christmas tree lighting is taking flight. Literally. He’s smuggled an entire flock of Crumpit Cockatoos into town.

    British Bah Humbug! with Jameela Jamil | 2

    The Grinch has a bone to pick with Christmas trees. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like chopping down a living thing and evicting a few perfectly tasty forest critters. Then, fellow holiday-hater, Jameela Jamil drops by and shares her own tradition, celebrating Hanksgiving, a day devoted entirely to the films of Tom Hanks. Could this be love? Maybe. Could it be indigestion? Also maybe. Meanwhile, Grinch-A-Palooza planning is running wild with a budget that’s burning faster than fruitcake.

    Let It Bro! with The Jonas Brothers | 1

    The Grinch is back for Season 3, louder, greener, and more self-absorbed than ever. Then, the Jonas Brothers crash the cave with a little holiday harmony and a lot of sibling chaos. RUDE! But, Grinch makes the best of it and finds out what we all want to know: which one’s the real bad boy? Later, Grinch unveils his biggest scheme yet, and let’s just say a certain holiday has some serious new competition.

    Introducing: 'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast Season 3

    Follow 'Tis the Grinch Holiday Podcast on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.


    Grinch is back and jollier than NEVER! Whoville’s sassiest late-night talk show host returns for season 3 with more sharp-tongued monologues about everything nipping at his nose this holiday season, his signature brand of merry mischief, and a fete of festive banter, determined to charm a sleigh-full of A-list guests into admitting that Christmas might just be ho-ho-horribly overrated.

    This season, Grinch unveils his boldest scam yet: "Grinch-a-palooza," an over-the-top extravaganza timed to outshine Whoville’s beloved tree lighting ceremony. But when his trusted producer Cindy Lou-Who sides with the town’s holiday tradition instead of helping him plan the perfect palooza, the ultimate festive face-off begins. Grinch vs. Cindy—whose Christmas Eve bash will reign supreme? The battle for holiday supremacy is officially ON.

    Holiday Hot Takes! with Hollywood Hottie John Stamos | 10

    Christmas is almost here (ugh)… which means it’s almost OVER! (Yay!) The weather outside is frightful, but you’ll warm right up with a fresh batch of the Grinch’s scalding-hot Holiday hot takes [2:22]! Then, the only A-Lister with better hair than the Grinch, the legendary John Stamos makes it a full house atop Mt. Crumpit [6:40]. And finally, just in time for Christmas Eve, it’s the thrilling conclusion of the missing letters mystery [21:20]. The culprit has been nabbed, but if the mail never made it to Santa, how will he deliver Whoville’s presents? It’s up to the Grinch to save Christmas! Talk about a redemption arc!

    Cindy Lou to the Resc-Who: The Big Guy | 9

     Case closed, job well done! Wait… there’s still a problem. Cindy receives a call from none other than Santa Claus himself. He’s glad the culprit was nabbed, but he still never received those letters! And now there’s no time to re-mail them — he’s already sleighing around the world! Cindy has an idea of how Grinch can still deliver the messages on time… if he’s willing to get in the holiday spirit.

    Secret Santa Stinks! with Fortune Feimster | 9

    Grinch is over Secret Santa gift exchanges [2:54] — the only gift he wants is NO CHRISTMAS! Then, some very good luck: Fortune Feimster is here [6:40]! There’s a lot of talk of wienerschnitzel, but she didn’t bring a single hot dog for Max. Rude! She leaves just before the Whoville police show up, ready to arrest Grinch for a crime he didn’t commit [16:17]. Ugh, why are the holidays always so stressful?!
