Samantha Parkington had one wish for Christmas—a perfectly proper Victorian holiday. But when Uncle Gard shows up with his newfangled "special friend", Samantha does what any respectable 9-year-old would do—she crashes out.

In this episode, we’re recapping Samantha’s Surprise, the American Girl Doll book that taught us all that holiday meltdowns are way more socially acceptable when you’re a kid. Join Caroline and Celia as they revisit this millennial nostalgia classic, unpack Samantha’s historical tantrum, and discuss whether or not putting lit candles on a tree is a good idea.

If you grew up obsessed with American Girl books, spent hours flipping through the catalog, or just need a hit of historical fiction drama, this one’s for you!
