The radio station that only plays Christmas music is back

It’s time to dust off your Michael Bublé album, because the countdown to Christmas is officially on!

A party-only radio station is back for 2021, so listeners can brighten up their day with seasonal tunes while they wait for the big day.

Heart Xmas is available in most locations in the UK and in line, so log in when you can!

This year, the station launched 10 days earlier than usual.

As the days get colder and the nights get longer, the makers at Heart clearly believed that we needed to cheer ourselves up in the winter!

The festivities will continue until December 27, giving you two more days to celebrate.

Songs range from slow, nostalgic classics to upbeat office party bangers. Greg Lake and Mariah Carey fans can band together and sing along.

The station is currently broadcast on DAB across the country, in counties such as Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, as well as in London.

Anyone can listen online or through Google Home.

Radio fans are overjoyed to hear the station is back, and many have taken to Twitter to immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit.

“I found Heart Xmas the other day on the radio and it comforts me as soon as I get in the car and hear it,” one woman said enthusiastically.

“I’m already on Christmas carols,” said another person. “Radio firmly tuned to Heart Xmas”.

Instagram users were also posting photos of themselves listening to the station.

“The Christmas music station has started,” one person captioned a screenshot of Johnny Mathis playing on Heart.

Another poster simply read “#sorrynotsorry”.

In other Christmas news, a woman from Dorset was shocked when she ordered a TikTok Christmas tree online.

The 49-year-old grandmother received a “twig” from a fir tree instead of the six-foot self-growing ornament she thought she ordered.
