……which programmes should I listen to? I’ve got the schedule but none of them seem to be overly Christmassy. Or do they all play a bit?

Well no answer yet @Celebrationsnakes !

But I’m posting to say I’m listening now and they played one carol. I really want to know why Alexander Armstrong puts on a weird voice, just talk normally mate.

And they’re going to play In Dulce Jubilo (sp?) soon.

He’s still doing a weird voice.

Classic fm don't bombard you with it, they only play the occasional Christmas piece until it ramps up the week before Christmas. I normally hear a couple while I'm cooking dinner about 5/6.

Oh only occasional? That’s a shame, I had the impression it was quite a lot. I was hoping to get some more Spotify additions!

If you’ve got Spotify why don’t you just listen to playlists and albums on there?

It gets more as advent progresses. If you are looking for classical Christmas music, my absolute favourite album is Hely -Hutchinson's A carol symphony. It is incredibly christmassy 😂

This is nice to learn! I like Classic FM on in the background when I'm working but I can't stick Alexander Armstrong so I'm going to switch over to that until later.

Yes to Spotify as well, there are some lovely playlists on there.

It does seem to be only a playlist this year though. I’m sure it was an actual station in previous years.

I've been listening to Classic FM over the weekend and they've only played occasional Christmas music. I shall be digging out my Christmas CDs tomorrow so will enjoy listening to those.

I also have Spotify and have made a Christmas playlist so it's only got the music I like on it,

I've had it on all day. I've heard quite a few. It's lovely.
