We had so much fun celebrating Christmas with lots of special shows, as well as playing all of the biggest Christmas songs from the greatest decades - the 70s, 80s and 90s!

Our festive schedule saw features like our All Day Christmas Party, special guests including Andrew Ridgeley, Kim Wilde, Jools Holland and Dolly Parton, as well as performances from Greatest Hits Radio Live. You can listen back to all of these amazing shows on our website as well as on our app.

And, of course, the festive period also included our exciting New Year's Eve celebrations. From January we brought you The Good Times Guarantee, with a playlist of all the biggest mood-boosting songs.

Take a look through our festive schedule to see what special shows we brought to you!
