Special Weekend Programming

The Sounds of Christmas has some special events coming soon!

First, this coming weekend (11/15-11/17), it's a New Music Weekend. From Friday afternoon at 5:00pm through Sunday night, you'll only hear songs released in 2024! This will give you a chance to hear lots of the new music that's been released (or is going to be released) for this holiday season!

And the weekend before Thanksgiving (11/22-11/24), we're giving thanks to all the singers and bands that have supported us over the years - from those in our earliest days to artists supporting us for the first time this year! It's our way of saying thanks for helping us get up and running, and stay up and running!

The weekend after Thanksgiving (11/29-12/1), we're giving away special 20th anniversary editions of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's album "The Lost Christmas Eve" pressed on clear vinyl! Starting at noon (Eastern) on Friday (11/29), then all day Saturday (11/30) and Sunday (12/1) until midnight (Eastern), listen for songs from Trans-Siberian Orchestra. When you hear one, jot down the name of the song, along with the title and artist of the song that gets played next. Then email that, along with your name, to [email protected]. On Monday (12/2), we'll draw from all correct entries, and five winners will be announced later that week (once we've been able to contact them). Enter only once per TSO song played, but you can enter each time you hear a song from Trans-Siberian Orchestra!

And in December, each weekend you'll have the opportunity to catch our brand new exclusive special: Saturday Night Live - 50 Years Of Christmas Music - exploring most of the Christmas music that aired on SNL from that first Christmas episode in 1975 to the Christmas episode from last year! You'll hear from singers and bands, plus many performance by cast members and special guests!

This will air for the first time on 12/7 at 8pm (Eastern). Then the following Saturday (12/14) at 10pm (Eastern). And one final time the Saturday before Christmas (12/21) at 9pm (Eastern).

We're also working on one more special for December, and hope to have all the details soon! We'll also be updating this page with more specific info, especially for dates and times!

Thanks so much for listening and spending part of this wonderful season with the Sounds of Christmas, and we hope you enjoy some (or all) of the specials we have in story for you!
