Christmas24 on channel 312 has been active for a while as has Great! Xmas on 319. Hopefully no more until December 1st but I doubt it.

Only once a year on the night of Christmas Eve, Sky Christmas begins when Sky Santa comes down the Sky Ultrafast Broadband connection to your home. If there are any issues with your Sky products, Sky Santa fixes them. Sky Santa thanks you for the Vue tickets and leaves Sky goodies under your tree and in your stockings.

Then, when Sky Santa visits all the homes in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, he returns to the Comcast global headquarters in a bitterly cold Philadelphia, where the Sky elves are hard at work preparing new upgrades, festive offers, and buffering-free Christmas marathons for next year.

But remember, if you've been on the naughty list and missed any of your Sky bills, you might just get a faulty update that causes your devices to not turn on, or you might even get a Sky remote control with low batteries, or a single episode of The Last of Us in SD as a reminder to stay on the nice list for next Sky Christmas!

It might be a bit OTT to some, but personally I like to know if there are any new channels to look forward to.

I know most are just temporary changes but you never know when that's TV or talking pictures, or the xumo channels will get added to the EPG on stream

The five new music channels will be welcome on Sky Glass/Stream for many customers.

That set of channels are regularly requested on here.

Brilliant news about the AATW Now Music:Clubland channels finally launching on Sky Glass stream as I love these channels especially the 80's, 90's and Christmas genres I can get them on my smart tv but my tv does this weird thing where after a while it doesn't store the freeview channels and only picks up the freevee fast channels.

Yes only 4 music channels was a bit low, so it's encouraging for more. Let's hope for those Zumo channels to come though soon, especially the Sky sports ones
