Christmas FM has raised almost €4.3 million for children’s charities since it first began broadcasting eighteen years ago. The seasonal station collected €361,577 during 2025 through its Magic of Christmas appeal, supporting Barnardos, Barretstown, Make-A-Wish Ireland and local children’s charities via Community Foundation Ireland. The 2025 total marks the first year of a new three-year fundraising target to raise more than €1 million between 2025 and 2027. The Magic of Christmas appeal was first launched in 2022 and reached its original three-year target a year early, raising €294,706 in 2022, €324,000 in 2023 and €420,792 in 2024. Charity partners also thanked listeners, volunteers and supporters, saying the funds raised in 2025 were a vital first step towards the new three-year goal.
