SiriusXM launched 25 curated holiday music channels on Monday, beginning its annual seasonal programming. The expanded lineup adds two channels compared with the 23 offered last year and is designed to cover different genres and holiday traditions in the weeks leading up to Christmas and beyond.
The selection includes Christmas classics, contemporary pop, country, rock, jazz, R&B and hip-hop, soul, Latin music, French-language tracks, contemporary Christian music, instrumental selections, acoustic performances and children’s programming. It also includes a Hanukkah-focused channel for a limited period and a New Year’s channel scheduled to start later in December.
Among the featured offerings are Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Radio, which combines festive music and stories with tracks from Fallon’s related album, and Hallmark Radio, which pairs carols with music connected to the brand’s holiday movies and series. Other dedicated channels include Trans-Siberian Orchestra Radio, Mannheim Steamroller Channel, Country Christmas, Rockin’ Xmas, Navidad, Jingle Jamz and Smokey’s Holiday Soul Town.
Nearly all of the channels are available on the SiriusXM app from launch, though their end dates vary. Many are scheduled to run through December 27, while some continue into early January 2027. A selection is also available on satellite radio, with channel numbers and schedules differing by service. New Year’s Nation, for example, is scheduled for satellite channel 144 from December 28 through January 1.
Listeners can submit voice or video messages, song requests, memories and shout-outs through SiriusXM’s Season’s Greetings portal for possible use on air. The company also offers a Joy Line for Hallmark Radio and a Holiday Hotline for Jimmy Fallon’s channel.
