Stations that break their all-Christmas formats?

I know there are stations which have Christmas music 24/7, but are there any stations which break that format other than for talk shows or early morning FCC requirement-type things? I am talking about programs, syndicated shows, or something else that continue to air their regular programming in-between Christmas music?
 
I don't know the answer and I know that all-Christmas brings in big ratings but I loathe the idea and never listen to it. Just call me Mr. Grinch.

Just call you Mister, period. The female-targeted Christmas format and its advertisers neither want nor need you, because most likely, you're not doing the holiday spending -- especially for the sorts of products they're hawking at this time of year.
 
I'm not aware of all-Christmas stations that break format. Even stations that carry the American Top 40 broadcast Christmas editions of the show.
 
Yes. Lite 100.5 WRCH the all Christmas station in Hartford carries Delilah and The Jim Brickman Show and both are in Christmas mode. Their local "romance" show "Pillow Talk" is in Christmas mode. As is The Smooth Jazz Brunch. I think the only non-Christmas Programming is the Public Affairs Shows on Sundays 6AMish until 7:45AMish.

94.7 WMAS the all Christmas station in Springfield, Mass (Enfield, CT) carries The Jim Brickman Show and is in Christmas Mode. I would assume their Saturday Night Dance Party "Studio 94" is also in Christmas Mode.
 
KEZZ/94.1 Steamboat Springs/Phippsburg, CO airs Delilah in Xmas mode during the holidays, but I don't think the rest of the day is all-Christmas. A few years ago I heard WAHR/99.1 Huntsville airing Delilah's regular show just five days before Christmas...on the other hand! They no longer air her show.
 
105.1 the River in Jackson, MS, breaks away to carry Southern Miss and New Orleans Saints football.

I seem to recall when AC Mix 98.7 was all-Christmas years ago, they continued playing syndicated 80s shows.
