The Christmas STAR 99.1 Rings in the 2025 Holiday Season
SOMERSET, N.J. – At midnight on Nov. 21, STAR 99.1 (WAWZ) switched to 24/7 Christmas music, spreading joy and Christmas cheer across the Tri-State.
From beloved classics like Andy Williams’ “It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and Frank Sinatra’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” to modern favorites like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and Pentatonix’s “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” STAR 99.1 is your festive soundtrack for the season.
“We are so excited to continue the tradition of our early Christmas gift to the Tri-State – as we bring the comfort and joy of uplifting Christmas music to the airwaves November 21st! From the whole team at Christmas STAR 99.1, let us be the first to say: “Merry Christmas!”” said Matt Stockman, brand director at Pillar Media.
“It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year at STAR 99.1! People are filled with hope and have this desire to spread joy,” said Kristen James, co-host of “The STAR Morning Show with Skip & Kristen.” “It’s so exciting to be able to capture that feeling and play it through the music here on STAR. I can’t wait to see how many hearts grow three sizes this year!”
