Switching gears, Corden shelved the regular news segment and decided to bring some holiday cheer by delivering funny and offbeat holiday headlines. He touched on the current shortage and high prices of Christmas trees, jokingly suggesting that the cargo ship stuck off the coast of California must be filled with the delightful scent of trees.
Corden couldn’t resist teasing Watts about his mother’s love for holiday decorations despite their Jewish background. The conversation took an amusing turn as they described the eccentric Santa decorations at Watts’ house, including a Santa ornament in the bathroom that seems to be watching over everyone.
The banter between Corden and Watts continued as they brainstormed a sketch involving a Santa 5K run, challenging each other to find unexpected locations for the event. Their excitement and infectious energy reminded everyone of the fun that takes place behind the scenes of the show.
The segment wrapped up with a discussion about favorite holiday movies. The audience discovered Corden’s love for Muppet Christmas Carol and his surprise at Watts not mentioning Die Hard. Watts argued that Die Hard is indeed a Christmas movie due to its setting and events occurring during the holiday season.
To end the show on a lighter note, Corden shared a peculiar holiday news story from Canada. A mall in Nova Scotia reintroduced what many consider to be the world’s creepiest Christmas tree. Named Woody, the tree boasts a human-like face and even talks, adding an eerie touch to the festive atmosphere.
As the show concluded, Corden teased an upcoming Crosswalk Concert with popular Korean boy band BTS, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next episode.
