Christmas on MKFM

The MK Breakfast Show with Santa

Darren and Lia will be joined by Santa every weekday in December as we countdown to the big day itself. Listen each day as he calls a lucky Milton Keynes child to find out exactly what they would like for Christmas.

Christmas Eve Carols

Steven Gordon-Wilson from Destination MK will be on MKFM from 7pm with studio guests and the perfect soundtrack to get ready for the big day.

Christmas Day with Santa

Once he gets back to the North Pole, Santa will be on MKFM for the third year running, playing some of his favourite Christmas songs. In previous years, Santa has even read out some of his favourite cracker jokes which always go down a treat (well that's what it says here anyway).

The MKFM Christmas Party

Legends Pat Sharp and Dave Pearce are on MKFM throughout Christmas and New Year with loads of great music to get the party started.

DJ Hurley

He's on MKFM every night from 7pm between Christmas and New Year's Day with his biggest remixes of the year and commercial free. Just turn us on, add your friends and we will take care of all the hits, in the mix throughout the party season.
