Game of Thrones is showing a season a day over the holidays - challenge accepted!

Game of Thrones isn’t exactly full of festive cheer but if you want your holiday celebrations to be a little more bloody this year then HBO has the perfect present for you – a 6-day Game of Thrones marathon. That’s a season a day if you’re up to the task.

Starting on HBO 2 on December 26 and running up until New Year’s Eve, you’ll be able to head back to where all the death and drama began.

Now winter is here, I’m sure you’d much prefer Red Weddings instead of Rudolph’s red nose, crossbows instead of gift bows and the Hound devouring chicken instead of your nan chewing on turkey for what feels like eternity.

Bring it on.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
