Radio Magic Christmas

Magic Christmas is the seasonal music station in Bauer's Magic Radio family. It focuses on Christmas recordings across different eras, combining older festive favourites with more recent seasonal pop. That Christmas theme distinguishes the channel from the main Magic Radio service, whose broader music format continues throughout the year.

The station's programme is arranged into named parts of the day, including Magic Christmas Breakfast, Mornings, Afternoons and Hometime. Magic Christmas Through the Night extends the festive selection into the evening and overnight hours. The Perfect Playlist adds a curated strand, with Magic Radio presenters choosing their own Christmas favourites rather than every hour following an identical programme label.

Magic Christmas launched as a digital pop-up service in September 2025. Its first season included weekend specials and coverage associated with the Magic of Christmas and Magic West End Christmas events at the London Palladium. Those programmes connected the channel's recorded music with the wider Magic brand's seasonal live entertainment, including musical-theatre performances as well as Christmas songs.

Presenter-led shows have also been part of its seasonal history. Josie Gibson joined the 2025 Christmas line-up, alongside programmes involving Dan Morrissey, Jo Russell, Nick Snaith, Jen Thomas and Paul Hayes. These are examples from that festive season rather than a guarantee of an unchanged annual schedule. The continuing identity is the dedicated Christmas selection, with seasonal presentation, curated playlists and a separate place within the Magic family.
