Coleraine Christmas Radio: Spreading Festive Cheer One Jingle at a Time

The unmistakable sound of Christmas has officially arrived in Coleraine, as Coleraine Christmas Radio goes live, transforming the town centre into a festive wonderland of jingles, joy, and community spirit.

This initiative, a heartwarming project by Coleraine BID, promises to make the town’s shopping streets sing with seasonal cheer, thanks to a carefully curated mix of Christmas music and special messages from local businesses.

From early morning until early evening, shoppers strolling through Coleraine’s streets will be treated to a delightful soundtrack of holiday classics, contemporary hits, and festive favourites, all designed to elevate the shopping experience and spread some holiday magic.

But it’s not just about the music. Tucked between the jolly jingles and festive tunes, you’ll hear advertisements that showcase the very best of Coleraine’s town centre businesses.

From stocking stuffers to seasonal specials, the radio is a direct line to the many treasures Coleraine has to offer.

Meet the Team Behind the Tunes

The festive vibes are managed by Chris Arthur, whose passion for bringing people together through music shines through this initiative. Speaking about the project, Chris said:

"Coleraine Christmas Radio is about more than just festive tunes. It’s about creating an atmosphere that welcomes shoppers, supports local businesses, and captures the magic of the season. Whether you're popping in for a gift or soaking up the town’s festive ambiance, this is your Christmas soundtrack.”

Jamie Hamill, Chief Executive Officer of Coleraine BID, added:

"This initiative is a fantastic way to support our town centre businesses during the holiday season. Coleraine Christmas Radio not only adds to the charm of the town but also connects our local businesses with shoppers in a unique and memorable way. It’s just one of the many ways Coleraine BID is committed to creating a thriving, vibrant community."

More Than Just Music

The radio project aims to do more than add festive flair—it’s a platform for local businesses to reach customers in a creative way. From cosy cafés to bustling boutiques, these ads showcase the stories and offers that make Coleraine’s town centre the perfect Christmas shopping destination.

The initiative encourages shoppers to stay local, reminding everyone that the perfect gifts, festive treats, and cherished memories can all be found in Coleraine’s town centre.
