The Nov. 24 iHeartRadio Holiday Special celebrates the annual switch to festive music on iHeart stations nationwide, which starts tonight.
It’s beginning to look (and sound!) a lot like Christmas. To celebrate the annual flip to holiday music on iHeartRadio stations nationwide — starting Friday night (Nov. 5) at 5 p.m. local time — Kelly Clarkson, Pentatonix, Michael Bublé and Train will perform Christmas classics at the second annual iHeartRadio Holiday Special later this month.
Going down Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. ET and hosted by Mario Lopez, the virtual concert will be broadcast across iHeart AC, Hot AC and Classic Hits stations and on the iHeartRadio app, with a video stream on the company’s YouTube and Facebook pages. Fans can also watch the concert in VR through the Horizon Venues app on Meta Quest.
The concert will mark the annual switch to exclusively holiday music through Christmas Day on more than 80 stations in key markets nationwide. According to iHeartMedia, that switch sometimes doubles the audience size for a station from typical non-holiday programming.
