In many parts of the world, winter is by far the hardest part of the year, with cold and darkness making survival difficult. And from the chill of winter's woes, comes an array of monsters directly tied with snow, ice, and blistering winds. Some are tied to winter holidays and festivities such as Christmas, while others embody the darkest elements of winter. From Krampus, to Gryla and the Yule Cat, to the Yeti, this program will discuss a select handful of the coldest and scariest monsters of Christmas and winter!
