Season 2 of The Encore Club comes to a chaotic festive close with a Grinchmas Special and Christmas Eve season finale featuring The Yorkshire Grinch. Instead of the usual dream concert format, this episode flips the script entirely as Will takes The Grinch on a musical journey inspired by A Christmas Carol, complete with three festive ghosts and a whole lot of unexpected emotion, nonsense, and onion-based storytelling.

Across the episode, The Grinch is visited by the Ghost of Gifts Past, Present, and Yet To Come, each one forcing him to confront memories, music, and moments that slowly chip away at his famously tiny heart. From childhood Christmas memories and feelings of isolation to the strange comfort of being included, this episode unexpectedly touches on why Christmas can be difficult for a lot of people, even while keeping things loud, ridiculous, and laugh-out-loud funny.

There are confessions about secretly loved songs, least hated Christmas tracks, guilty pleasures, and the music that manages to hit emotionally despite the Grinch’s best efforts to resist it. The conversation bounces between festive classics, movie soundtracks, dance music, TikTok trends, and artists that could finally lure him out of isolation and back into Whoville. Along the way, Will puts him through Encore Club traditions with a Christmas twist, including advent calendar questions, festive games, wild would-you-rathers, and helping Santa put together a DJ set for elves and reindeer that is guaranteed to cause chaos.

It is an episode packed with character comedy, musical deep dives, unexpected sincerity, and complete festive madness. This Grinchmas Special wraps up The Encore Club’s nine-episode daily Christmas run, released from December 12th through Christmas Eve, and serves as the official Season 2 finale. Whether you love Christmas, hate it, or sit somewhere in between, this episode is the perfect way to end the year with music, laughter, and a heart that might just grow a few sizes bigger.
