Welcome to The Calm Christmas Podcast with Beth Kempton: BACK FOR A THIRD SEASON IN 2023!

Chosen by Vanity Fair, the Radio Times, the Times and Ideal Home Magazine as a festive favourite, this #1 Christmas podcast is a cosy listen during the darkest season of the year.

In this podcast I share soothing wintery words from my favourite poets and writers, tips for a stress-free holiday season and advice for taking care of ourselves at this time of year. Join me at my kitchen table deep in the English countryside to explore ideas for a natural and sustainable Christmas, and explore how we can enjoy this special season for less (less money, less stress, less pressure…) The Calm Christmas Podcast is less of a countdown to Christmas than a travelling together through winter… So mark your diary and allow me to inspire you to let go of perfection and create a meaningful, nourishing celebration this year. There are logs on the fire, tea in the pot and gingerbread fresh out of the oven. Pull up a chair and relax. It is Christmas, after all.

SERIES 3 (2023)

2022 Special episode

The Calm Christmas Podcast is back with a one-off bumper episode for 2022. In order to honour my own need for rest this winter I decided to just do a single episode this year, but it is filled with festive goodness. I hope to be back with a whole new series in 2023, but for now please enjoy this!

Alternatively you can listen on Apple Podcasts / Spotify. Show notes here.

SERIES 2 (2021)

LISTENING WITH YOUR CHILDREN? This series is suitable for all ages, but please note Episode 4 opens with a reading from Letters from Father Christmas by JRR Tolkien, and Episode 7 mentions the five stories of Christmas (in terms of what matters to people), of which one is the Story of Magic (the others being the Stories of Faith, Connection, Abundance and Heritage, as outlined in my book Calm Christmas). You might want to take a listen to those yourself first.
