The off-kilter limbo period between Xmas and the New Year is when nobody knows what day it is.
Did Christmas actually happen, or was it a tinsel and naughty elf-festooned dream?
How many calories were consumed in 24-hours?
And is it even worth bothering with the sales?
No-one really has a clue in the elongated period when time stretches and takes the world all the way to New Year’s Eve in its unique and surreal way. But fear not for anyone seeking a final blast of the country’s finest escapism. Over at Bongo’s Bingo, post-Christmas the format switches to a loving and jovial celebration of 2025: welcome to Bongo’s Bingo’s Big Fat Bingo Of The Year.
This is a deep dive into all the biggest memes, crazy tunes and red-hot pop-cultural moments of the year, with everything amped up to the max and yes, rest assured – there’s not a Santa Claus in sight.
