For many, the Christmas season starts right after Halloween. And Sirius XM knows it.
The satellite radio company is ready to bring a diverse set of radio channels playing holiday music 24/7 starting today, Tuesday, Nov. 4.
In the past, the lineup has typically stayed on the air through Dec. 26. But for those who need Christmas music for longer, Holiday Traditions, SiriusXM’s official holiday music channel, is available year-round on channel 602.
