Wins have been hard to come by for the Seasiders between Boxing Day and the New Year for the majority of the last decade.
You’ve got to go back a long way to find the last time they picked up three points in what’s meant to be a festive fixture.
The task gets no easier this time around, with trips away to Wrexham and Birmingham City both coming up for Steve Bruce’s side in the next week.
Here’s a look at Blackpool’s recent Christmas record – dating back to their last taste of victory:
