If you’re a subscriber to Sirius XM radio or have access in your vehicle, these SXM stations are currently dedicated to holiday music through Dec. 🎄” New Music Holiday ” will keep the holiday party fresh with new music releases including Elton John and Ed Sheeran.

🎄” Christmas Hits” is all the name - “the biggest Christmas songs of all time. 🎄” Christmas Classics ” features “timeless heart-warming classics for the holiday season. If you prefer Spotify over the radio, here are a few of our favorite playlists:

Lights throughout downtown Dayton will twinkle along to the beat of different holiday classics and holiday pop favorites. While driving through the downtown Dayton area, tune-in to 97.1 FM to listen to the interactive Downtown Jingle Lights, a part of the Dayton Holiday Festival. They play around-the-clock Christmas music and the station can be streamed on. STAR 93.3, an FM Cincinnati-based Christian radio station, is regularly one of the earlier stations to get on the Christmas music train. Using a visual playlist on your TV may not be quite as warm and cozy as an actual roaring fire, but it’s way easier, and it’s a much cheaper way to give your holiday festivities a hi-tech vibe than splashing our for a smart Christmas tree.Christmas 103.9 calls itself “Dayton’s Home for the Holidays” and is a product of the iHeart Radio network. An Apple TV 4K will default to the devices’ built-in aerial screensavers when no action has been taken inside of a music app for a while, but this isn’t quite the same thing. These streaming services have smart TV apps too, but they (so far) don’t marry music and slideshow-like visuals in a single experience.

Visual playlists feature is a clever way for iHeartRadio to fend off the big streaming giants like Apple Music and Spotify during the holiday season. Each image appears on-screen for about 12 seconds before fading into the next one, so even TVs that have a tendency toward image-retention should be fine. The imagery in the Christmas playlists includes fairly typical scenes like roaring fireplaces with stockings hung on a mantel, but there are also fun variations on the idea, like a pickup truck with a freshly cut tree in the flatbed.
