Vic and Hamish, your hilarious guides to sobriety, are back with a toolkit for navigating the chaos of Christmas without a drop of alcohol. This episode of 'Sober Awkward' takes you through the fantasy of a perfect sober Christmas where everyone sips kombucha and gratitude flows freely, contrasting it with the more likely reality of drunken relatives and awkward moments.

Whether you're spending the day with noisy relatives or just yourself and a packet of ginger nuts, Vic and Hamish are here to remind you that a sober Christmas can be just as joyful and memorable.
So, if you're dreading the prospect of facing the festive season without your usual liquid courage, this episode might just be the comforting hug you need. What are your strategies for maintaining sobriety during holiday gatherings? Join Vic and Hamish for a dose of humour, honesty, and support as they help you navigate the holidays with a clear head and a full heart.
