“We’ve created a Christmas music station called Glisten Christmas, which features the most variety of any station you’ll find,” said Darin Patzer, Shine 104.9 manager. “In addition to classics from Bing Crosby like 'White Christmas,' you’ll also find lesser-known renditions of traditional Christmas songs featuring Christian artists, as well as country singers and hits from decades past.”


The music is completely commercial-free and is free for anyone to listen to. Just download the Live365 app on iPhone or Android and search for “Glisten Christmas.” The station will play Christmas music from November 2025 to January 2026.


“We hope it becomes a part of your Christmas tradition,” said Patzer.
