Listeners will be able to tune-in to hear their favorite holiday songs, like Bobby Helms “Jingle Bell Rock,” Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” Burl Ives’ “Holly Jolly Christmas,” Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song,” and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” on their HD radio at 94.7 HD2 throughout the holiday season.
