Ahhh, tmas. It’s that time of year when you’re forced to endure your family for several consecutive days. Some of you may have effectively “lifehacked” your way out of these annual family gatherings, but I bet that most of you are probably getting on an airplane any day now to go listen to your grmother’s drunken ramblings for the next few days. 

Don’t fret. I’ve got a solution: It’s tmas radio. You’d be surprised at how effective it is at shutting your family up restoring peace—you might even find that you like some of your family members. There are plenty of resources online where can you find both vintage modern tmas radio programs, best of all, most tmas apps podcasts are free.

Apps

TuneIn: If you don’t already have it installed, download TuneIn, the online radio portal,  start a search for “tmas radio” to find tons of pre-recorded upcoming tmas radio shows from around the globe. My personal favorite is the tmas Old e Radio station, which streams vintage holiday radio shows throughout the day. A majority of the programs were recorded between the 1940s 1950s.

tmas FM: Did you know that Irel has a tmas radio station it revives every year for just 30 days? tmas FM streams tmas music all day all night it’s all available online. You’ll hear tmas jingles from the likes of U2 Beach Boys (both of which popped up while I was writing this), if you’re hunkering for something else, there’s a programming schedule you can refer to. If you happen to like a song, tmas FM also offers a hy link for you to buy the song from the ay Store or share it externally with your friends.

tmas Radio: There’s an aptly titled tmas Radio app, which offers a variety of holiday music you wouldn’t normally come across on your own. Case in point: there’s a New Age tmas Radio station that sounds like the kind of holiday music you’d hear in an episode of Game of Thrones.

The app features over 29 tmas stations from a variety of genres. st heed this warning: There are both pop-up advertisements commercials to contend with.

dcasts

BBC’s A tmas Carol: oking for a holiday experience for your little tykes? The BBC offers a 9-part podcast dedicated to Charles Dickens’ classic tale A tmas Carol. It’s narrated by an features music sound effects. 

If you’re sick of A tmas Carol, BBC offers other tmas- holiday-themed podcasts, like Driving Home for tmas, a lsh dramedy about a holiday family crisis.  

Merry dcast: It is literally a podcast dedicated to tmas. For instance, the latest episode explores the 1992 film, A Muppet tmas Carol segues into a discussion about some of the major news events that have happened on tmas Eve. It’s good background noise while you’re preparing tmas dinner. 

Your favorite podcast app: If neither of the above two options strike your fancy, you can always do a search for tmas radio shows through your own podcast app, like dkicker o or cket Casts. 

Next time singing carolers come knock on your door, hoping to spread some tmas cheer, invite them inside instead. They’ll be warm, your family will be distracted by these strange singing people, you’ll be able to show off your cool phone or tablet that’s streaming one of these enjoyable tmas programs.
