When will radio stations start playing Christmas music?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…or is it? For some, the onslaught of Christmas music on the radio can be overwhelming. If you’re one of those people who enjoy festive tunes but don’t want to hear them 24/7, when can you expect a reprieve?
Most radio stations in the U.S. start playing Christmas music around the end of November, with some starting as early as October and others waiting until December. However, there are a few holdouts that don’t switch over to an all-Christmas format until closer to Christmas Day itself.
So, if you’re looking to escape the jingle bells and sleighride songs for a little while longer, you can find respite on these radio stations:
-Kiss 108 in Boston doesn’t start playing Christmas music until December 14th.
-Z100 in New York City won’t be switching to an all-Christmas format until December 25th.
-Hot 99.5 in Washington D.C. also waits until December 25th to make the switch.
Is it too early to start playing Christmas music?
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…or is it?
For many, playing Christmas music too early is synonymous with jumping the gun on holiday cheer. In fact, a recent survey found that 44% of Americans believe that stores shouldn’t start playing holiday music until AFTER Thanksgiving. So when is the right time to start playing those holiday tunes?
It turns out, there is no right answer. A study conducted by Spotify found that the majority of people start playing Christmas music on December 1st, with a small spike in songs being added to playlists on November 27th (the American Thanksgiving). However, there was a significant drop in Christmas music being added to playlists two weeks before Christmas, which suggests that people generally don’t like to get too far ahead of themselves when it comes to playing festive tunes.
Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. If you’re one of those people who just can’t wait to get into the Christmas spirit, go ahead and start your holiday playlist today!

1. It can boost your mood.
Christmas music is generally upbeat and positive, which can help to improve your mood and emotional state. If you’re feeling down or stressed, listening to some Christmas classics can help to pick you up and put you in a better frame of mind.

Whether it’s the sound of sleigh bells jingling in the background or the soothing tones of a holiday ballad, Christmas music can help to promote relaxation and calmness. If you’re feeling tense or anxious, try listening to some peaceful Christmas tunes to see if it helps you relax.
3. It can boost your energy levels.
Christmas music is often fast-paced and upbeat, which can help to increase your energy levels and make you feel more alert and awake. If you’re struggling to get through the day or feeling fatigued, try listening to some lively Christmas songs to give yourself a boost of energy.
4. It can help you focus and concentrate.
Studies have shown that listening to classical music can help improve focus and concentration, and Christmas music often falls into this category.

What are some of the worst Christmas songs?
We all have our favorite Christmas songs that we love to sing along to every year. But let’s be honest, there are also a lot of truly terrible Christmas songs out there. Here are some of the worst offenders:
1. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” – This song is problematic for a number of reasons. The lyrics are creepy and manipulative, and the overall message is pretty misogynistic.
2. “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” – This song is just mind-numbingly boring. It’s like watching paint dry, except you can’t even paint while you’re listening to it because it would put you to sleep.
3. ” Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” – This song is just creepy. The idea of Santa watching us while we’re sleeping is enough to give any child nightmares.
4. “Last Christmas” – This song is so depressing that it should come with a warning label. If you’re not in the right headspace, this song will push you over the edge into full-blown Grinch territory.
5. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – This song is so saccharine sweet that it will give you a toothache. And the constant repetition of the chorus will have you reaching for the nearest exit within minutes.
