The presents are wrapped, the turkey is waiting to be stuffed and roasted (unless you're Dave), and you now can hopefully enjoy a bit of down time before the big day itself. Why not pour a glass of your favourite Christmas cheer and join me for some Christmas traditions, tonight from 09:00 until midnight North American Eastern Time on Mushroom FM.
Hi, I'm Steve Cutway. I'll have some favourite holiday stories written and/or performed by Canadian storytellers linked by holiday music performed primarily by Canadians.

Sara Smiles is taking a break for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but I'm going nowhere! Whether you're doing some last-minute shopping, baking, rapping or other holiday chore, why not spend a little time with me and the Carpenters on Mushroom FM? On Christmas Eve at 12:00 PM Eastern, I'll be presenting two hours of Carpenters Christmas music, live, and mostly commercial-free! We'll journey through the music as far as we can go, and I'll share some of my own memories of the music, and I hope some of yours as well.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

Christmas is coming to Mushroom FM, and Come by the Hills is no exception. Join me after the big countdown and Christmas party for a Celtic and Folky festival of Yuletide spirit! We've got carols, songs and even Dylan Thomas! How can you go wrong?

We won't be live this week, but we're bringing the cheer to you as we do every year at about this time. That's Sunday night at 8:00 PM Eastern, replayed on Friday at 4:00 AM. The archive is also available at http://www.mushroomfm.com/sarahillis. Enjoy and merry Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The time when you make a list, we check it twice, and we count down the top 100 holiday songs as chosen by you.

As part of the fun, everyone who voted received an invitation to our Christmas party. If you forgot to vote, well, you're probably on Santa's naughty list, but tomorrow we will be able to allocate you a seat at a table if you ask nicely.

After you've enjoyed Christmas music on The Mosen Explosion, don't touch that virtual dial and join me for more Christmas music on The Early Years.
The Mushroom 2019 Holiday Countdown takes place from 09:00 AM to 07:00 PM North America Eastern Time tomorrow (Sunday, Dec. 22). Voting closed last night at midnight and I hope you voted.
This week, I will play the 20 songs Nancy and I voted for, independently without discussion or debate; and interestingly, there's no overlap. (I guess that's obvious if I'm playing 20 songs.)

This Winter solstice weekend, December 21, is the fifth anniversary of the start of SnowWhiteFM. When this show began, back in 2014, we were on the Mosen Channel. This week, we dig back into the archive, and pull up some favorite segments that have occurred over the years, and play them again, just for old time's sake. Steve will be here in the second hour, and wife Linda ppears in hour 3. Plus, we'll have some nice Christmas music in the last half hour.

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 8pm Saturday in NZ, 6pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day , it’s the described movie I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus from 2001.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus is a 2001 made-for-TV family film, based on the classic holiday song of the same name.

There’s not long left! You have until the end of Friday US Eastern time to vote for your top 10 Christmas songs. The consequences of voting are enormous. You contribute to our top 100 countdown which we play this Sunday, and you also score yourself an invitation to our Christmas party.
