No idea. I haven't tried global yet. Will check it out tonight. I imagine it's Christmas songs from the globe. Be strange hearing Christmas songs in other languages.

ChristmasFM just posted up n Facebook, what song should they open with on the 28th at 1pm? What song as soon as you hear it means its Christmas?

So same question here, what song is Christmas for you?

For me it has to be Fairytale of New York

Driving Home For Christmas. When I hear that on the way to see my family at Christmas I get goosebumps.

But I think a great first song for Christmas FM is It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.

SteJer

Driving Home for Christmas & Stop The Cavalry are two of my favourites. Unfortunately Christmas FM have started playing a more recent version of Stop The Cavalry in the past few years. Not the same.

A great first song would be It's Beginnimg to Look a Lot Like Christmas.

I also think either Fairytale Of New York or It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year are great first songs to open with.
Especially the latter. The very beginning of that song with all the beats and instruments is very opening appropriate, I think.

A couple of years ago they opened with "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" and I loved that.

In the last 10 minutes, my mood has just gone from 'It's fcuking Monday again. I'm so miserable, how will I make it to Friday, what am I doing with my life' to 'Yay, Christmas!!'. I love this station.

That's the magic of ChristmasFM

There's just one or two songs I don't like and one of them is that vile version of Merry Christmas Everybody by Intua Nua.

Woohoo

I was super anti-social today. I planned my lunch so that I could listen to Christmas FM as it launched, but it didn't seem right that I was sitting at the table with my headphones on. Delighted that I heard the start of it though. It was magical.

Then I headed downstairs and there was a Christmas tree in the lobby. The smell was just beautiful.

My only issue is that I haven't managed to change my husband's presets in his car yet. I like to give him a Christmassy surprise when he heads off to work in the morning!

Jude13

I treid to listen the way home but I was raging over work and my car dent so I will hold off till commuting today. I get too excited sometimes and ill get a headache like a kid.

I keep on checking my flight app, 15 days to go.

Ah lads waking up and getting ready to ChristmasFM is just bliss. Great way to start the day.

Same!

Did I hear correctly that ChristmasFM is finishing on the 27th this year?

Posy

I think they get a 30 day licence, so it would add up.
