Google Play has a massive selection of 70 different holiday stations to choose from.
Soothing instrumentals and chilled out acoustic selections are perfect for warming up and winding down during the season. And when it comes time for holiday gatherings you’ll have access to a range that spans from electronica to sing-along stations.
A modest selection of Christmas stations are available on iHeartRadio, making it easier to decide when you know what you’re in the mood for. It features a special channel to delight the young ones in your life — North Pole Radio hosted by Santa.
A healthy mix of genre options make for a well-rounded selection of Christmas stations with LiveXLive without overwhelming. Plus, skip or ban up to six songs an hour when they pop up.
Choose from 44 curated holiday playlists by Spotify to suit any situation. From religious to rocking, you’re set to find a playlist — or three to fit the vibe for your sit-down dinner, office party or bring cheer to your commute.
Two Christmas radio stations are on offer for free from Deezer. You’ll be limited to skipping six tracks per hour on a free plan, so if you’re not feeling inspired by either station you may want to check out another service.

A crackling, open flame can really complete the holiday ambiance when an actual fire is out of the question. Bundle up and cast one of these beautiful scenes to your favorite screen as a second-best option. If you have another screen available, you can even set up the ultimate cozy atmosphere for watching your favorite Christmas movies.
Pro tip: Turn off annotations to avoid getting any brief but potentially annoying messages over your HD flame.
The soothing snap, crackle and pop of this well-looped flame is perfect if you want to set it and forget it. You’ll get 12 hours of a 1080p high-definition fire burning in a lovely brick hearth.
PBS offers a shorter loop — only one hour — but for that time you get a beautiful wood-burning fire in stunning 4K. It’s another clean loop, and one you can watch without messing with annotation settings.
For a slightly more authentic feel, you can get a three-hour fireplace scene. The logs burn and crumble rather than being on a loop, and its quality goes up to 4K so it’ll stay looking crisp up on the big screen.
You won’t be wanting for ways to stream Christmas classics and more contemporary tracks for free this holiday season. Complete the ambiance with a big blanket, warm beverage and crackling fire — digital or otherwise. Check out your streaming service options by checking out our guide.
