At the most recent “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Burbank, California a fan asked Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles what they thought their characters would ask Santa for—to which Padalecki replied, “Didn’t we kill him?” Well, not exactly but in the opening moments of their special holiday episode it certainly seemed like they were going to. Instead, though, it turned out that the Meadowsweet wreath making Carrigans (Merrilyn Gann and Spencer Garrett) were actually Pagan Gods who were completing their annual ritual sacrifice. While they first tied the boys up, draining some of their blood and almost extracting one of Dean’s teeth, ultimately the Winchesters prevailed and took them down—by staking them with Christmas tree branches, no less! What made this even more memorable was that it was during what was supposed to be Dean’s last year. Many people would just want to spend their last Christmas in front of a fire with family, but not these boys!
