In this episode of the Famalam podcast, Gareth and Daisy interview Mal and Seannah Calladine on a Daddy–Daughter Double Date, exploring the significance of family traditions at Christmas. Together they discuss how traditions help shape family identity, support faith-based discipleship, and create lasting memories for children.

The conversation explores ways to engage children in Christmas traditions, incorporate cultural elements, and balance spiritual and non-spiritual practices. Mal and Seannah share their own family traditions, the role of food and celebration, and how to keep traditions relevant as children grow older.

This episode encourages families to create meaningful Christmas traditions that centre on the story of Jesus, foster unity, and strengthen family connections.
