Time To Get Cozy And Watch A Holiday Movie on Hashtag Holiday Trivia

Holiday Cheer and Trivia: Festivus, Radishes, and Christmas Movies Happy Monday! On December 23, 2024, Ashley's Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz, brought to you by Inland Empire Health Plan, delivered a festive mix of humor, trivia, and holiday traditions. Today marks the celebration of Festivus, a tongue-in-cheek holiday popularized by the TV show Seinfeld. Created as a humorous response to the commercialization of Christmas, Festivus traditions include gathering around an aluminum pole, airing grievances, and performing feats of strength. Also on the calendar is National Pfeffernüsse Day. Pfeffernüsse, a German spiced cookie coated in powdered sugar, is a holiday staple for many. And if you haven’t heard of it, you’re not alone—it was a learning experience for some of the team! Adding to the day’s uniqueness is the Night of the Radishes, a Mexican event where large radishes are intricately carved into stunning sculptures. While less familiar to some, it’s a beautiful tradition showcasing creativity and artistry. For movie enthusiasts, it’s National Christmas Movie Marathon Day. Whether dusting off old VHS tapes or streaming holiday classics, it’s the perfect time to binge-watch favorites like Home Alone and Elf. The Pop Quiz brought movie trivia to the mix. In Home Alone, the Wet Bandits earned their nickname by flooding houses after break-ins. Meanwhile, Buddy the Elf’s four food groups—candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup—reminded everyone of the sugary joy of the holidays. With laughs, learning, and a dash of trivia, this festive segment is the perfect way to gear up for Christmas Eve. Stay tuned for weather updates and news headlines coming up next!
