Elis and John鈥檚 Christmas Cracker

Elis and John are back on 5 Live for their now traditional Christmas special, featuring festive treats and some very special guests.

鈥淢mmh yeah Christmastime.鈥 In a linear sense it鈥檚 Christmas Day. In a circular sense it鈥檚 some time between 13th and 25th December. Ho! Ho! Ho!

What better way to celebrate the birth of Jesus than Elis and John鈥檚 Christmas Cracker? Oh and we have festive fun. Elis and John write a Christmas song which is equal parts downbeat and administration heavy, whilst it鈥檚 the most madderful time of the year for fathers.

We鈥檝e also got a very secret guest that Producer Dave reveals within the first 15 minutes and there鈥檚 a festive advert to rival Jean Louis that becomes far more affecting than the initially comedic idea. Whether your listening in a linear (25/12), circular (13/12 to 13/12) or any point afterwards, Merry Christmas!

If you鈥檝e got anything to send to the Elis and John North Pole then send it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or 07974 293 022 via Christmastime鈥檚 preferred method of modern communication (WhatsApp).
