Santa's coming to town — The Latest on APN - Dec. 10-23

The holiday season slammed us this year; cars wouldn't start, shops were packed, and everyone seemed to frantically prep for their first real Christmas parties since 2019. Messi even narrowly led Argentina to a World Cup title, so it's truly been an intense time all around.

With stockings and mistletoe ready, we await Santa's visit, along with our last playlist of 2022. Enjoy, be merry, and we'll see you on the flipside in January!
