Marking the start of the festive season, Christmas FM is set to return to the airwaves on Tuesday with all the usual hits to get you in the mood for mince pies and fairy lights.

The station, which plays round-the-clock Christmas hits, will be switched on at midday on November 28 with the help of two lucky competition winners.

Five-year-old twins Ben and Louis McPhillips from Mullingar will officially turn on the radio station for 2023. The brothers won a competition run by Christmas FM to find some helpers to visit the Christmas FM studio and officially Switch Christmas On for 2023.

Christmas FM fans can look forward to hearing all of their favourite hits including Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé and Slade as well as newer Christmas songs to add to their Christmas party playlist.

Meanwhile, the presenters will be doing their best to spread festive cheer and keep the spirits of the nation merry and bright as we countdown to December 25.

In keeping with the goal of spreading joy, the radio station is also continuing its ‘Magic of Christmas’ appeal, raising funds for Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and a range of children’s charities making a difference in communities through Community Foundation Ireland.
