Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, radio! (2025)

When is your local Christmas station starting up? The sounds of the season will soon be blasting through the airwaves next month.

(AM/FM stations only, no internet stations!)

.... when pumpkin spice season is over... I petitioned the Arizona State legislature.... not with any goodwill but a Gadsen flag T-shirt

Radio stations? What are those. I have a Christmas playlist on my phone, courtesy of DH transferring all of our CDs to our Apple music account. I only use my phone to play music in the car and at home.

Dunno... we haven't listened to am/fm in years.

But Hallmark Channel starts Countdown to Christmas on October 17th, so that's about when I'll start hearing Christmas music in my house.

They start November 1st around here.

No idea as I don't listen to FM, and the AM I listen to is talk radio. I personally won't be seeking out any Christmas tunes until after Thanksgiving but honestly - I'm guessing somewhere there is a store already playing them! I guess if I can make it till Nov. 1 before hearing them I'll have made out ok.

I bet someone's gonna flip beforehand.

In the meantime, if you turn on Disney Channel tonight... two of tonight's episode premieres are actually Christmas themed. In October? Weird.

I think ours usually starts in November.

If I hadn't rented two cars in the last month, no idea when the last time I listened to AM or FM radio. All satellite radio. So many local stations have gone off the air, I can't even guess if any will go all Christmas music. I don't use my phone for things like music, but a friend does run The Christmas Channel that plays Christmas music year round, and he makes money every month. But that is on your listen of forbidden Internet radio channels.
