YES! Xmas has offically started.

You guys are wonderful. I get a double hit of nostalgia: (1) an 80s UK Christmas and (2) confirmation that we really did go through the collective experience of 2019. These uploads will never get old. I'd love chronological or series/season folders of TnT. I'm sure there are some episodes I haven't been able to find.

Love the star wars Christmas jumper Jason!!!!

You forgot twiglets! Anyhow...off to watch ‘Box of delights’ to get in the spirit !

Absolute classic!!!

Love your Christmas specials. It was how we found you a few years ago. Was looking at an online version of the 1983 Argos catalogue the other day. Loved looking through the toys! Can’t wait fir the next instalment 🥰🎄⛄️

I've already had 10 80s Christmas mornings and 5 70s ones the 80s Christmas days were the best

Watching this in 2023 in the United States and I'm completely inspired! Thank you!

SO!!!....Love your channel, love the quirky humour. Especially the Christmas episodes, as I was a child of the 70s-80s so it's super nostalgic for me. Love & best wishes to both from a 50 year old fan, more of this please!

Can’t wait to have a beer and watch this later 🎄👍🎅🥃

Thanks Greg and Jason I was a bit depressed until I watched this episode of tea and toast.

WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOW WELL DONE LADS ITS NOT CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU GUYS HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES THANKS FOR THE SHIRTS AND 80S JUMPERS WAS GREAT WEAR MY TEA AND TOAST TSHIRT WITH PRIDE

At last! I've checked every day since the 1st of December for this. Woohoo!

I actually still watch what I did in the 80s at Christmas. From Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and all the Muppets Christmas specials and all the 80s cartoons specials to its a wonderful life. Not to mention my favorite last of the summer wine Christmas episodes to any other U.K sit com Christmas specials and can't forget doctor who.

I've been going through vintage Sears Wish Books from the 60's. That's my theme this year. It'll be Jell-O molds and tinsel galore! My husband thinks I'm lame, my kids think I'm weird. But I have fun.

Miss these guys.

Getting my atari 2600 in 1989 and matchbox railways were magical moments for me as a kid! :)

Looks like the 1987 TV guide. BBC 1 Christmas Eve that year: Dear Jim, Please can you fix it for me to ... Climb a beanstalk? Build an igloo? Give Father Christmas his dinner? Those are just three of the dreams Jimmy Savile fixes in this special Christmas edition. What could go wrong?

Snacks we had, in our American home, were the mixed nuts in the Santa boot I made in 2nd grade; Fruit cake which was made with candied citrus fruit and pecans; Brach's candies from the bulk pick-n-mix bins; a 16 oz box of Sees chocolates, and home made egg nog made with milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

The Farher Christmas movie by Raymond Briggs 🤩

Blue peter making their "advent crown" always started xmas for us....

I thought you 2 were well and truly smashed, then I realised I was watching you at 75% playback speed. Got my Chistmas day planned now, I'm going back to 1983 , sitting my action man tent, reading the Beano annual, watching the Peanuts xmas special and being bit more grown up and having a small Harvey's Bristol cream.

Love you guys. You have certainly helped us get through 2020 by binge watching your videos! Happy Christmas

Hi. Just discovered your KZread channel and been thoroughly enjoying your "When Xmas TV was good playlist". Has really brightened up my Christmas. Although wish I had a snowball! all the best

You two were in rare form in this episode!! It was great fun reminiscing with you, even though some of the items were different from what we had in the States. Great video!!! Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎁

I was ten when santa Claus came out I went to see it at the pictures I utterly love your Christmas episodes

..and thats the start of Christmas! Love it!

Merry Christmas, lads! Great 80s memories... I think my dad still has the same advocaat from 1986 in his special Christmas teak drop-down tipple cupboard.

Love this Xmas 80s, me and my brother always wanted a 6ft snooker, we were always gutted we never got one, then one summer my Dad seen one in 2nd hand shop in mint condition and got it, we were both over the moon😊. We used to play snooker while listening to the Sunday top 40 charts hits on the radio📻. Does it get any better than that, great times and memories

So here in the US we defiantly had nuts, egg nog, and the Sears Wish Book.

Heman ,g.i.joe, transformers ,teenage mutant ninja turtles and video games was my 80s Christmas lists.

Great episode.. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Greg needs to get he’s own joke book.

Christmas starts now!!! Love your show at Xmas guys! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 from Cyprus!!

Merry Christmas guys. Sat with a smile on my face watching you. :) Unfortunately, I don't have any more classic photos like my bow tie one a couple of years ago.

Love Jason's glassy eyes ROTF

I was there first time around uft the dreaded Christmas school play. wham. Shaking Stevens . to meny selections box's made to look like real presents .go for broke ,😆 getting to stop up till twelve a clock at night and thinking it's was something special 😆

We Have to watch some Cannon and Ball in tribute to the late Bobby Ball. Rock on Tommy! 🥲 Also, I bought that Babysham set, I bought it for myself. 😉🥂

This is like opening the first day of my Advent Calendar all over again. I had a Lockdown baby (Daughter was born in April) and she watches Tea N Toast with me. Can’t wait for our first Christmas with many 80s (and early 90s) traditions. Most of your snack items are currently in my garage guarded by the Mrs who says I can’t open or access them till the 24th!

My 80s Christmas drink? Midori. A slime green coloured watermelon spirit from Japan. Things like that seemed like such a good idea in the 80s. That’s why the 80s rule. The end.

I'm on my lunch break and when I saw this pop up I had to watch I love your videos

Merry Christmas fellas, we actually did an 80's Christmas a few years back, had everything you suggested apart from babcham.

Some great memories there.

Early merry Christmas 🎄 lads hope both your family's have a wonderful day 💖💖

Bring back the glass and hand blown ornaments.....no more stinking ugly plastic junk 😓. And yes the big bulb tree lights 😁

Yayyyyyy Welcome back boys. Its officially christmas now. Jasons Christmas Jumper beats shakys hands down. We still have the alcohol and snacks every christmas. I LOVED the Argos Catalogue. I worked out that the Atari, the boys mentioned, would cost you £320 today. This has got to be one of the funniest episodes

“I’ve had a kid this year” Whaaa?? I’m a newish viewer, just working my way though the TnT playlist and got to the one straight after the stag do. A lot happens in five years. I got a lot of catching up to do! Keep at it lads, and love the Xmas jumper.

Enjoying your channel guys, keep it up. Greg, you used that joke a few Christmas's ago, don't give Jason ammunition to stop the 'joke of the day!

You guys are part of my kids' Xmas tradition now :)

You forgot the Jelly Fruits!

Yes we did our Christmas wish list from the Sears or JC Penney catalogues here US. Great times or just wait and see what Santa brought.

I do believe you showed Dame Edna more than once. Of course I'm going from an American memory. *:-)*

@DrRobert1138

Dame Edna did feature quite prominently in the ITV trailer, as did Cilla Black. Dame Edna was a permanent fixture of Xmas TV in the 80s, usually with her own chat show, assisted by Madge (not Madonna, a different Madge). She would always insult her celebrity guests, but that was a big part of why they went on, they loved being teased by her. Dame Edna Everage was very much a Christmas institution, like Cilla on Blind Date or Surprise Surprise, or Dennis Norden on It'll Be Alright On The Night.

Awesomeness, Bugger Chris Rea starting his car, NOW Christmas has begun 😎👍🏻

Great show as always lads

A Tea & Toast Christmas episode, Christmas has come early! Cheers lads Don't forget the Chocolate Brazil Nuts

Great show lads! I’m off to Boots to get a cassette version of Robocop for my Amstrad.

Thanks guys! Good video.

Argos are still doing a christmas catalogue if you really want to circle some presents. And Radio Times is out now - so you can see exactly how little there is that's worth watching at Christmas these days. Happy Christmas, Greg and Jason :)

There is a glaring missing entry from the snacks section....Jelly Orange and lemon slices.

How could you forget about "Eat Me" Dates? We'd have a pack of the sticky buggers in the house over Christmas and nobody would touch them, then as the season was coming to an end and all the Christmas food was running out, my dad would open them up and eat the lot! 🤮

Merry Christmas!

I remember in the 70’s and 80’s my dad used to always get a party 7 at Christmas. They used to look like a depth charge from a navy ship 🤣 he used to open them with a hammer and nail and the ale would spray everywhere 😂. Also don’t forget the twiglets and cheese balls pmsl.

Brillant vid as normal Merry Xmas

Maybe not 1984 after our recent live stream....we were looking back at the album NOW 3 and judging by the songs, people were worrying about nuclear war/holocaust around this time or maybe Threads may have worried a few people

Merry Xmas guys.

So......what about doing a section on 80's Christmas TV specials, my pick He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special!

Christmas is here ...bailey's the argos catalogue T.v and radio Times and playing with your jet set willy ......on the spectrum home computer 84 I think ?.

We didn't have Argos that I know of we had little woods catalogue or Woolworths

It was, and still is, the battle of the soaps at Christmas. You showed the 1987 TV Times with Hilda & Bet there, Jean Alexander’s last episode, while 1986 had the Den & Angie divorce papers storyline. Oh, and Arthur having a breakdown 😭

🎅🎄⛄ Merry Christmas, Guys!!! ⛄🎄🎅 I already have my Babycham, which I drink with Xmas lunch (didn't realise it's 6% though 🥴). We have Buck's Fizz (the drink not the band) in the morning, while opening presents. Another 80s Christmas essential we have is Black Forest Gateau. I have fond memories of taking the last of the gateau to bed and watching films I had taped off the TV over Christmas on the boxy 14 inch TV and video in my bedroom. Watching Star Wars, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles in bed at 2am during the school holidays in a dressing gown, propped against the foot of my bed. Bliss. The videos usually came complete with ident cards, showing a poster of the film and the channel's logo (HTV Wales for me), with the slight jump where I paused the video to cut out the adverts. Clever at the time, but those adverts are fascinating now. Keep up the good work, lads!

Sod the coke advert, its only Christmas when T&T play their Christmas opening titles. Oooo yessss.

Wait all year for xmas episodes dont we.. you should do at least 2 a week please guys :) damn I wish it was 1988 again!!! Christmas as a 6 year old was so much easier !!!

I love your jumper jason 😁😁

More needed guys, I can only watch so many old Xmas episodes even with a half price sub to Brit Box

About 8 minutes in, you're right about all this so far, but my parents didn't really like advocaat, so none of that, just beer, wine and Bailey's. My Dad also got whiskey at Christmas sometimes, but wouldn't drink it any other time of year. And oh yes, Babycham and Cherry B. Only at Christmas. Same with the biscuits. We usually got those Dutch ones though, that came in a tin with a picture of a castle on it. And going to be a pedant here, I don't think there are any Norwegian discount grocery chains in the UK. Aldi and Lidl are both German and Netto is Danish. Watched the rest. What about selection boxes? You never mentioned those. Right about Quality Street - it was either Quality Street or a big tub of Cadbury's Roses, but usually Quality Street. Also, along with Matchmakers, we also got those Terry's Biarritz things and Ferrero Rocher. (I remember those, because the sexy lady on the advert brings it up to her mouth and whispers "Rocher!" but my Nan always said it looked like she was saying "Oh s**t!"

A Norwegian shop would be anything but budget, it would give Waitrose a run for its money. Still love those biscuits and have them every year but they’re danish, not Dutch.

Bought santa clause: the movie on digital yesterday!! Now I have it on VHS, DVD, blu-ray and digital!!! 🎄

I have all these foods at Christmas.

Good to see Jason's cats' bumhole jumper make another appearance. (I made the very first comment about it during your live Christmas show!) Edit: I put this comment up before I heard Jason mention it would be mentioned!!!

"...until the lemonade goes flat." Americans: Lemonade *is* flat. American version of Christmas has fewer nuts and biscuits, but there's the fruitcake, and dried apricots.

In the UK, we have Christmas cake, usually shop bought but many people still make by hand, which is basically fruitcake (I think) but usually with a layer of marzipan and royal icing (frosting), but may alternatively be topped with nuts or candied fruit.

Ours is clear, kinda like sprite but just lemon and no lime. A I think a snowball should have a dash of lime cordial so sprite already Has it in it so job done. ☺️

Make sure to watch the box of delights.

Cheers lads , Christmas has started :)

who remembers when boxes of roses or quality st were almost £20?!

1985 santa claus the movie still the best ever xmas movie imo

AT last Christmas has started

there are more ad breaks in these videos now than an episode of I'm a celebrity - but I suppose those Family Circle biscuts arn't gonna pay for themselves

Greg my wife wants to know if your wearing fake tan in this vid? Great vid tho , love the xmas vids

I want an 80s Christmas. Didn't the pre-mixed snowballs have lime in them?

Hi hope your all well and doing okay I really miss your Christmas videos and chat are you going to be back at all I really hope so thanks

I love your Christmas videos. The only thing missing from the food stuff in this one is "Twiglets" :)

I'm in a support bubble with KZread

I think the proper term is "snookered".

Yes, the cheesy footballs were definitely a staple of Christmas. I had a football game one year, it was called something like Cup Final, it was similar to subutteo, but the outfield players had buttons with a spring-loaded foot to kick the ball. I remember using a cheesy football instead of the plastic football. I'm sure I thought this was hilarious at the time 😂

Be forewarned, although lots of Aldi products are excellent, the cheese snacks aren't. In fact, they are flavourless. Go to another shop and get some real Cheetos.
