Christmas jingles 2026 come in three new packages from our studio, and they are not three versions of the same thing. One is British, one is American, and one barely talks at all. Pick the wrong one and you end up with a presenter in Ohio reading about mince pies, or a Manchester breakfast show wishing everyone a happy holiday from coast to coast. This guide is the shortcut: what is actually in each pack, which one fits your station, podcast, DJ set or business, and how to roll them out across the season so they still sound fresh on Christmas Eve.
The Three New Christmas Jingles 2026 Packages at a Glance
All three are instant downloads, and all three can be customized with your station or DJ name, read by a voice artist. The difference is the voice, the vocabulary and how much talking you want.
Christmas Jingles Vol. 10: The British Edition
Christmas Jingles Vol. 10 is 10 fully produced voiced jingles from our best-selling UK voices: Mike, Izzy, Becks and Robin. The product page calls it the British voices edition, and the scripts back that up. These are lines about fairy lights, mince pies, Christmas jumpers, crackers, the roast in the oven and the Boxing Day sales. You get mp3 and WAV, plus all the voice-only files, so you can lay the reads over your own beds if you prefer.
Christmas Jingles Vol. 11: The American Edition
Christmas Jingles Vol. 11 is the same format with our best-selling US voices: AC-Shaw, Frances, Arlo and Dacey. Again 10 produced jingles, mp3 and WAV, voice-only files included. The vocabulary shifts with the accent: lights on the porch, hot cocoa, eggnog, candy canes, chestnuts roasting, and "from coast to coast". It also carries a couple of "happy holidays" lines alongside the Merry Christmas ones, which matters if your audience expects both.
Christmas Jingles Vol. 12: Music First, Made With AI
Christmas Jingles Vol. 12 is the odd one out, deliberately. It holds 14 elements: 11 music-only Christmas jingles and 3 sung ones, every one under 20 seconds, delivered in broadcast-quality WAV. The music-only cuts range from 1950s-style bell jingles to a 1980s retro holiday radio jingle, a festive fanfare, a swing number and a chilled sleigh-bell piece. It was composed with AI music tools, then hand-picked, edited and quality-checked by our team. Because there is no spoken script, it fits almost anywhere: IDs, sweepers, segues, bumpers and beds.
Which Christmas Jingles Package Fits You?
Here is the decision list we give people when they ask us directly:
- Your audience is in the UK or Ireland: Vol. 10. The cultural details (Boxing Day, crackers, mince pies) land properly, and they would sound odd on an American station.
- Your audience is in the US or Canada: Vol. 11. Same job, American references, and a mix of Christmas and holiday greetings.
- You stream online to listeners everywhere: both Vol. 10 and Vol. 11, rotated together. Eight voices across two accents sounds like a big network, and nobody hears the same voice twice in a row.
- You need transitions more than announcements: Vol. 12. Eleven music-only pieces are exactly what you want between songs, out of news and into ad breaks.
- You broadcast in a language other than English: Vol. 12. The 11 music-only cuts carry no words at all, so the season comes through whatever language your presenters speak.
- You run a podcast: Vol. 12 for bumpers and segment breaks in your Christmas episodes. If you want a voice saying it is Christmas, take the pack that matches where most of your listeners live.
- You are a DJ: Vol. 12 for short festive transitions in a set, with your DJ name added through the customization option. The voiced packs suit a DJ who also hosts a radio or online show.
- You are a shop, venue or brand: Vol. 12 again. The product page lists in-store audio and holiday adverts as intended uses, and a music-first sting will not tell your customers to "stay right here" for more Christmas songs. For anything branded beyond that, our audio branding for business team handles it.
Who Should Not Buy These
If you want your own name sung inside the melody, a library pack will not do it. These packs give you a spoken or sung festive element, with your name read separately as an optional add-on. For a sung name you need a custom package such as MRC Holiday Greeting, where a singer performs your words. If you already own Christmas Jingles Vol. 9, our 2024 UK pack with Mike, Izzy, Bethany and JC, Vol. 10 keeps two familiar voices and adds two new ones with all-new scripts, so you do not need to replace what you have, only top it up. And if last year's pack fell flat, read the next section before buying anything: the fix is often the scheduling, not the jingles.
How Stations Schedule Christmas Imaging
We have produced festive imaging for stations for a long time, and the packs that disappoint people are rarely bad packs. They are good packs played badly: every line on rotation from the first day, the same voice three times an hour, and a "Merry Christmas" still airing on 28 December. Here is how to avoid that.
Start When the Music Starts
Your imaging should follow your music, not run ahead of it. If you ease in with a few Christmas songs in late November, ease in with Vol. 12's music-only pieces at the same time. They signal the season without announcing it. Bring the voiced lines in when the station is properly festive. Our producer team covers the music side, from phased rollout to playlist tiers, in their guide to programming Christmas music on the radio.
Match Each Line to Its Moment
Not every line in a pack is meant to run all season. Read the scripts and sort them into three folders before anything goes into your playout system:
- All-season lines. In Vol. 10, Izzy's "Pop the kettle on" and Becks's "Fairy lights, frosty mornings". In Vol. 11, Frances's "Sleigh bells, snow days" and Dacey's "Cozy nights, candy canes".
- Countdown lines. Mike's "From the last day of school to the Boxing Day sales" fits the final school week and beyond. Frances's "Grab the eggnog, gather the family" suits weekend and evening parties.
- Christmas Day and after. Robin's "Roast in the oven, family round the table" belongs on the day itself. Mike's "thank you for making us part of your Christmas" works best on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The New Year lines, Robin's "cracking Christmas and a brilliant New Year" and Dacey's "happy New Year", are the ones you keep after the tree comes down.
Rotation Tips From the Studio
- Separate the voices. With four voices per pack, never play the same voice back to back. Listeners notice a repeated voice faster than a repeated script.
- Morning, daytime, evening. Kettle and breakfast lines in the morning, party and cozy lines in the evening. It costs nothing and makes the station feel live.
- Refresh halfway through December. Swap in a second set of elements around mid-month, so the station does not sound the same on the 23rd as it did on the 1st.
- Check your levels. If you mix elements from different packs, or from different years, match their loudness to the rest of your imaging before they go to air.
- Plan the exit. Have your normal imaging loaded and ready for the morning of 26 December. Keep only the New Year lines running into January.
