It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas, as Heart Xmas – a radio station dedicated to non-stop Christmas music, 24/7 – launches across the UK today, Friday 23rd September.

Heart Xmas is the Christmas-themed sister station of Heart, the UK’s biggest commercial radio brand, and is home to the nation’s favourite festive feel good tunes.

This year the much-loved station is switching on earlier than ever before, with just over three months to go until the big day, bringing listeners the ultimate seasonal soundtrack as they count down to Christmas.

Listeners can expect nothing but the biggest and best Christmas songs of all time, non-stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including: Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’, Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’, Chris Rea’s ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ and Band Aid’s ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’

“This year we’ve decided to bring back our much-loved festive station, Heart Xmas, earlier than ever before. Every year, Heart listeners get in touch earlier and earlier to request their favourite festive tunes, so we wanted to get into the Christmas spirit here at Heart Xmas with three full months of non-stop festive feel good!”
Andy Everett, Managing Editor of Heart

Due to the growing popularity of Heart Xmas every year, this year the seasonal spin off station will be available on digital radio across the UK meaning Christmas fans can tune in from wherever they are in the UK on DAB as well as Global Player, bringing even wider coverage!

Christmas fans can get their festive fix and tune into Heart Xmas from today – Friday 23rd September.
