LiSTNR has your invitation to get Whamageddon out of the way Day 1, with Santa Radio returning today for its sixth year, and endorsed by Santa himself!
Perfect for families driving around to see Christmas lights, decorating the house, gathering around the table or any other event across the festive season, Santa Radio delivers Christmas Hits with a curated soundtrack of holiday favourites.
This year LiSTNR has added Christmas Classics, a collection of nostalgic 20th-century Christmas hits from artists like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Brenda Lee, joining the modern classics from Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé, Taylor Swift, U2, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, Paul Kelly and, you guessed it, WHAM!
Listeners can even call 1300 223 374 to leave Santa a special message and let him know who’s been naughty or nice this year; Santa’s elves might even play the Christmas message on Santa Radio.
Lindsay Harapa, LiSTNR Senior Santa Music Director – Digital Radio, said:
“We’re really excited to bring back Santa Radio this year, as its popularity continues to grow. Last December, it was our most-streamed music station, and this year LiSTNR is getting even jollier with the addition of Christmas Classics! This is the ultimate mix of Christmas hits for families to enjoy, and it’s fantastic to see so many people embracing the festive spirit on LiSTNR.”
Santa Claus, Head of Christmas Operations, said:
“With Christmas just around the corner, I’m not very far away, and I’m busy checking my list… twice, of course. Preparing for Christmas is a huge operation, and Santa Radio is a bona fide hit in the North Pole workshop, with the elves humming along and even Rudolph tapping along his hooves to the beat. LiSTNR has created the perfect playlist to keep everyone, big and small, in the festive spirit as we prepare to take off in the sleigh.”
Santa has also selected his top five festive hits, which LiSTNR has approved to be heavily featured on Santa Radio:
1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
2. “Holly Jolly Christmas” – Michael Bublé
3. “Last Christmas!” – Wham!
4. “How to Make Gravy” – Paul Kelly
5. “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee
Good luck with Whamageddon 2025!!
