About Radio Christmas
Radio Christmas calls itself the world's number one festive charity radio station. Every year it brings a fantastic variety of Christmas music and shows throughout December, leading up to Christmas Day, while raising money for children in need. On this page you can listen to Radio Christmas online.
A festive station with a cause
Radio Christmas is run entirely by volunteers from the local community around Amersham in Buckinghamshire, and it is a project of Street Kids Direct, a registered UK charity that supports vulnerable children in Central America. The station brings together local schools, mayors, businesses and community groups, who take part in programmes and help raise money during the festive season. Its live broadcast begins on 1 December and runs through to Christmas Eve, with programmes coming from studios in Amersham as well as the USA and Central America.
What you will hear
The music is all about Christmas: classic festive hits from the likes of Bing Crosby, Wham!, Slade, Mariah Carey, Wizzard and Band Aid, carols and choirs, crooners and modern seasonal favourites. Between the songs, volunteer presenters host fun, family-friendly shows, with competitions, messages, school choirs and appearances from local personalities. The station's charity focus gives listeners a chance to enjoy the festive season while helping children who need support. It is perfect for decorating the tree, wrapping presents or getting into the Christmas spirit at work.
