Listen to Heart Xmas and – for the first time – Smooth Christmas now on Global Player, the official app for all of Global’s radio brands
The countdown to Christmas begins today! Santa’s elves have got to work early, unwrapping not one but TWO radio stations, dedicated to playing non-stop Christmas tunes.
Heart Xmas is back! The Christmas-themed sister station to Heart, the UK’s largest commercial radio brand, launches today.
Heart Xmas is home to the nation’s favourite festive hits. Listeners can prepare for the big day by listening to the best non-stop Christmas hits 24/7! From Mariah Carey’s iconic ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ to Michael Buble’s charming ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’, Heart Xmas is here to fill your days with joy and Christmas spirit.
Joining Heart Xmas this year for the first time is Smooth Christmas. Alongside Heart Xmas’s feel good hits, Smooth Christmas will play ‘Always the Best Christmas Music’, bringing the festive cheer all day every day with the best songs such as Elton’s John’s smash hit ‘Step into Christmas’, Whitney Houston’s ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’ and ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ from Slade.
“We are absolutely thrilled to bring not just one, but two dedicated Christmas radio stations to our listeners this year! It’s all about spreading festive fun and giving everyone the chance to immerse themselves in the joy of Christmas, with three months of non-stop holiday music to get them in the spirit before the big day. We know how much our audience loves this time of year, and we can’t wait to celebrate with them!”
Sally Ardis, Senior Managing Editor of Smooth & Heart
“Today marks exactly three months until Christmas and there is no better way to celebrate than by launching Heart Xmas. Christmas is a huge day in the calendar for our Heart listeners, so we’re excited to bring them non-stop Christmas classics as they countdown to the big day. We’re making this Christmas the merriest one yet!
Richard Steel, Managing Editor of Heart
