Ah, the holidays. A time for joy, merriment, and vegging out. Maybe you use the time to marathon Christmas movies. Maybe you use the time to catch up on the best media of the year that you missed. Or maybe you share a YouTube obsession with your friends and loved ones.
This year, Polygon is marking the last week of December with YuleTide YouTube, celebrating some of our favorite creators, series, and videos on YouTube with all of you. There will be music. There will be games. There will be controversies. There will be granular examinations of niche topics. Maybe you’ll even learn something along the way!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy our curated journey through the archives of YouTube as we share our various obsessions with you. And have a very, very happy holiday season, from all of us at Polygon.
