Global has launched a new station playing classical Christmas music, while Smooth Christmas returns for the festive season.<\/p>\n

Classic FM Christmas is the broadcaster\u2019s first dedicated Christmas classical music station, featuring traditional carols, orchestral and choral music, alongside scores from festive films including Home Alone and Love Actually.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A video<\/a> to promote the station shows Aled Jones sitting inside a block of ice and being thawed out just in time to sing his Christmas song, Walking in the Air.<\/p>\n

The station joins Smooth Christmas, which is back with a continuous selection of seasonal songs, including Elton John\u2019s Step Into Christmas and Whitney Houston\u2019s Do You Hear What I Hear?<\/p>\n

Both stations are available through Global Player, the official Classic FM app, online and via smart speakers, with DAB+ coverage in Greater London.<\/p>\n

Classic FM Managing Editor Joseph Zubier said: \u201cChristmas and classical music are a perfect match, so launching Classic FM Christmas for the very first time is the most natural next step for our brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Managing Director Sally Ardis said of Smooth Christmas: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing quite like the first Christmas song of the year to get you into the festive spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n
