User Submitted 2025 All-Christmas Station List

Well, here come two more from west of the Mississippi River:

KQAZ 101.7 FM, Springerville, AZ
KPKL 107.1 FM, Deer Park, WA (northwestern suburb of Spokane)

I listened longer to the latter's stream to verify that the station hadn't switched over to the 89.5 frequency yet (if it has, it's not saying so in its announcements). Like the KLO-FM case in Utah, it may well be that the 107.1 frequency may see a new format come January of 2026.
 
...And I've found one more.

WXCH 102.9 FM, Columbus, IN

Two additional quick notes:
1) I do not have start dates for the stations I found. I'm assuming they were yesterday or today but today is when I found them.
2) While WGKS 96.9 FM in Paris, KY is listed on the first page as having gone all-Christmas, listening to the stream and checking the list of songs played on the station's website say otherwise. I wonder if WGKS briefly played some Christmas music in a row this morning leading one to conclude that the station had gone all-Christmas or if it is planning to go all-Christmas tomorrow. Anyway, it's not all-Christmas right now.
 
Can confirm from a shaky OTA reception today that Audacy has put the HD2 back on the air at its Buffalo rimshot, WLKK 107.7, and that it's Christmas music - but... the imaging is still the old "Star 102.5" from back when they still owned WTSS 102.5, not the "Star 107.7" imaging that had also been out there online.
 
I just discovered an HD3 Classical Christmas channel on KING-FM Seattle. I don't if this is a recent addition or if this has been OTA all year long.

KPKL will debut a new format around 1/1 under a new operator.

WGKS must've done a false start. It's log showed multiple Christmas songs in it when I was told yesterday.
 
Here in Charlotte, both of the usual stations have flipped to Christmas.

WLKO Variety Hits "102.9 The Lake"
WKQC Classic Hits "K104.7"

Not sure exactly when they flipped. When I checked them yesterday afternoon, they were still running their regular formats; as of now, they're both Christmas.
 
I've found another radio that has gone all-Christmas:

WBDK 96.7 FM, Algoma, WI

As noted in a previous comment, I have no idea when the station first hung out the jingle bells.
 
Let's see. Here are a couple more...

WNIC 100.3 FM, Dearborn, MI--This one switched today (11/6) after the morning show.
WGGA, 1240 AM, Gainesville, GA--Was doing Christmas on 11/6 but I don't know when they started.
WSTY 89.3 FM Milledgeville, GA--Heard them today but don't know when they changed. This is the first non-religious (the format is usually AAA) station in the non-commercial band to go all-Christmas this year.
 
I predict most smaller and medium market iHeart stations that go all Christmas will flip today (11/7) at 5pm Local Time for each station. (These are stations that are "choice" or "iheart custom" playlists. Some of those stations announced that it will be here today at 5pm such as 105.9 KGBX Springfield MO and KG 95 (KGLI) in Sioux City, IA. If you are somebody that enjoys hearing a flip to all Christmas like yours truly, that's when I would tune in. I'll find stations in each time zone and follow along through the afternoon / evening until we hear Pacific time stations flip. One of my most favorite days of the year.
