SiriusXM has long been a go-to for holiday tunes, offering a mix of seasonal channels that cater to various tastes—from classic carols to modern pop hits. For 2025, the company is continuing its tradition of launching a full lineup of Christmas and holiday music channels, starting November 4, 2025.
This date marks the return of fan-favorite stations, along with some fresh additions to keep the festivities vibrant. These channels are available to subscribers via satellite radio, the SiriusXM app, and streaming services, running through December 26 (with some extending into New Year's programming).
If you're eager for holiday vibes earlier, SiriusXM's year-round channel, Holiday Traditions (Channel 602), streams classic tracks from the 1940s–1960s by artists like Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Nat King Cole, and Ray Conniff 24/7—no waiting required.
