Midlight Christmas 2025: Jingle Ballet

Jingle your bells, Hall your -mark, and get ready for the dystopia edition of Midlight Christmas! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they gender-swap a Russian folk tale, persistently try to avoid monsterf*cking, and kind of forget the entire plot (oops).   Get ready for... Jingle Ballet!

Chapter 131 is finally getting hot! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they argue over what latte means (again, because Hannah won't let it go), discuss why both Hunger Games tributes and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron have eyebrows, and rant about walkable cities and public transport for rich people.

Chapter 130 is feeling a little claustrophobic on this train, how about you? Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they trauma-dump about bullying, discuss dandelions on multiple separate occasions, and nearly end their friendship over Sophie's accidental Star Wars reference.

Chapter 129 isn't sponsored by Hellmann's mayonnaise, but good lord it should be. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Sophie's ardent love for baths, the incredible power of secondhand embarrassment, and do some unnecessary train math.

Chapter 128 volunteers as tribute! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the District culture, Capitol propaganda, and the iconic three-finger salute.

It’s Reaping Day in Chapter 127, may the odds be ever in its favour. Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss the bow and arrow fantasy girl, post-apocalypse North American fauna (domestic, feral, and wild, oh my!), and reveal which one of them has actually participated in a real life Hunger Games LARP.

Chapter 126 roars in with an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, and a civil war, because we’re talking about YA dystopia this time, folks! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they reflect on their feelings about Suzanne Collins’ blockbuster Hunger Games series, complain about love triangles (again, but now with symbolism!), and discuss the quality of book-to-movie adaptations.

Chapter 125 has a job and is from a place for the last time, because this is our final City of Bones episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss Downworlder biology, almost immediately break their promise not to talk about dicks THIS time, and finally announce what new book Midlight Crisis will be reading next!

Grab your stele and get ready to take some notes, because chapter 124 is the City of Bones biology episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how to attract a hip young crew to your church, forbidden Shadowhunter love, and how many jaws demons have (and which ones they use to smooch). 

Chapter 123 is the City of Bones wrap-up episode! Join Sophie, Sam, and Hannah as they discuss how they feel about the book now that it’s finished, discover which one of them speed-read through the rest of the trilogy and also the movie and TV show MovieClips in the last two weeks, and figure out what secret third thing Jace is, finally.
