The festive season has officially begun as Heart Xmas, the UK’s most loved Christmas radio station, launches today. This morning, Heart Breakfast’s Amanda Holden, the nation’s ultimate Christmas enthusiast, switched on Heart Xmas!
During Heart Breakfast this morning, Christmas superfan Amanda left her co-host Jamie Theakston live on-air as she dashed next door to the Heart Xmas studio to officially switch on Heart Xmas for the season.
Heart Xmas is home to the nation’s favourite Christmas hits, playing non-stop music 24/7 to get everyone in the festive spirit. From Mariah Carey’s iconic ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ and Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ to Michael Bublé’s ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,’ Heart Xmas brings the merriest tunes all day, every day.
Also back for the festive season is Smooth Christmas after a huge demand following last year’s launch. Smooth Christmas promises ‘Always the Best Christmas Music,’ with timeless hits including Elton John’s ‘Step Into Christmas,’ Whitney Houston’s ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’ and Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody.’
“I absolutely love Christmas and it can never come early enough in my household! It’s my favourite time of the year and I go completely over the top with everything in the lead up! To be the one switching on Heart’s official Christmas sister station is the fairy on top of the tree!
From now until Christmas Day, I will be spinning festive songs non-stop and I can’t wait for everyone to join in the fun and get into the Christmas spirit. Heart Xmas is available on your radio, smart speaker or you can listen on Global Player!”
AMANDA HOLDEN, HEART BREAKFAST PRESENTER
“We know how much our listeners love starting the festive season early, and there’s no place better than Heart Xmas and Smooth Christmas. The countdown to Christmas has officially begun, and we are thrilled to be bringing festive feel-good and timeless hits to millions of listeners every single day!”
