    This is the url for the online stream:

    http://ice31.securenetsystems.net:80/XMASFM

    It's working fine for me so hopefully it might help you guys! :)

    What do you use to open it?
    i googled it & came across this site which brought me to christmasfm.com


    Can you only get in some places on radio?

    Pretty sure i saw an app on my Samsung smart tv, vtuner?

    Thanks.

    Gone so soon. The online stream will be getting played for another good while yet. Well done to Ronan, Darragh and all the lads at Christmas FM. An amazing amount raised so far and it honestly seems it gets better every year.

    Good interview here with one of the co-founders of ChristmasFM. Our very own boardie Darragh gets a few mentions.

    Building excitement to the return of ChristmasFM this year.

    Christmas FM is delighted to announce our charity partner this year is Focus Ireland.
    We want to help Focus Ireland support over 300 families out of homelessness.

    Fantastic charity and great to have some news from them. Just announced on Facebook. Just waiting on a return date now.

    I may be losing it but was there a 'classic' type of Christmas FM last year, like just carols?

    You're not mad the app had two channels ChristmasFM and Classic ChristmasFM which played carols and that. It was fantastic for background music.

    They have Christmas FM, Classic Christmas FM and Classical Christmas FM. I should have the stream url for the latter two if they're not on the app and if wanted.
