Busting the Myths of the Holiday Season

Christmas trees, pickles, Boxing Day and Cola: watch next week’s Seed Speaks and bust some Christmas myths!

On Dec. 21, the Seed Speaks crew will gather for a special holiday episode where they’ll bust some big myths about the holidays, namely:

  • You should get a fake Christmas tree because cutting down real trees is bad for the environment.

Also, buying real trees will help keep tree farms in business, and in turn keep their lands covered in the healthy forest habitat that wildlife depends on to survive.
  • The modern legend of Santa was created by Coca-Cola. According to the soda pop company itself, Coca-Cola didn’t create the legend of Santa Claus, but Coca-Cola advertising did play a big role in shaping the jolly character we know today.
