Bauer Media is thrilled to announce the broadcast of an exclusive audio documentary, The Making of a Christmas Classic – 30 Years of All I Want for Christmas Is You, airing on Magic Radio in the UK and Bauer’s European stations. This one-hour programme celebrates the timeless holiday anthem that has captivated audiences for three decades.

Listeners can listen to Magic Radio on Sunday, 8th December 2024, at 6PM, as well as on Bauer’s leading European stations including Today FM in Ireland, RMF Classic in Poland, and M80 Radio in Portugal across the weekend.
