It’s gonna be a cold cruel Christmas wherever you are this year when you celebrate with Joe Bob’s Cold Cruel Christmas aka “The Last Drive-In” 2025 Christmas special and charity auction will air tonight December 12 at 9pm ET on Shudder before it goes on-demand on December 14.
Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl once again host a double feature of Christmas slashers plus their annual charity auction drive returns with apparel featuring Justin Osbourn‘s @slasherdesign new artwork above along with other one-of-a-kind prizes and opportunities.
Previous “The Last Drive-In” Christmas specials include A Very Joe Bob Christmas (2018), Joe Bob’s Red Christmas (2019), Joe Bob Saves Christmas (2020), Joe Bob Ruins Christmas (2021), Joe Bob’s Ghoultide Get-Together (2022), Joe Bob’s Creepy Christmas (2023), and Joe Bob’s Christmas Carnage (2024).
UPDATE #1: It's been a hard year for many and for many organizations that support those in need, so this year's auction benefits five charities. The auction site is now live with Fright-Rags merch, a dice set from 1985 games, and more! Or you can donate directly--no donation is too small!

I'm especially proud of what we have lined up for Christmas this Friday night at 9. It includes every single aspect of what it means to be part of the Mutant family. #TheLastDriveIn at 9pm Eastern on @Shudder and @AMCPlus. pic.twitter.com/d45T9Y5ba8

Turkeyman II, the proud son of the original Turkeyman from John Brennan’s Dolphinman vs. Turkeyman (Troma Entertainment), is swooping into the red Christmas barn to bring a little poultry-powered chaos to Joe Bob’s Cold Cruel Christmas!
