Ruth Gill, Marketing Communications Manager of An Post Mails & Parcels, said: “At An Post, we believe in sending love from the heart and spreading a little magic by sending post – especially at Christmas, when connection means the most. There’s something truly special about a handwritten letter, a thoughtful gift, or a simple card arriving through the letterbox. We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Christmas FM, a station that captures the true spirit of the season. Together, we’re helping people share love, joy and festive cheer with friends and family near and far. Because when you send post, you’re not just sending a card or a gift – you’re sending love, connection and a little Christmas magic.”
Carla Reynolds, Brand Manager at Cadbury, said: “The return of Christmas FM signals the true start of the festive season, and we at Cadbury are delighted to continue this heartwarming tradition together. Just like Christmas FM, Cadbury is woven into many Christmas rituals, from counting down to Christmas with our advent calendars, to surprising loved ones with free Cadbury chocolate from our Secret Santa postal service. The Christmas FM team consistently fills the nation with festive cheer and reminds us of the true spirit of Christmas – a time for generosity, connection and spreading joy. We’re honoured to join them in sharing that magic and creating unforgettable moments this festive season.”
Paddy Carmody, Frontline Marketing Manager at The Coca-Cola Company, said: “For generations, Coca-Cola has been part of the magic of Christmas, and nothing says the season is just around the corner quite like the arrival of our iconic Holidays Are Coming campaign. Just as Christmas FM has become a cherished tradition for listeners across Ireland, our shared mission is to bring people together and spark the joy of the festive countdown. We’re proud to be partnering with Christmas FM for the eighth year, sharing that unmistakable Coca-Cola Christmas spirit while supporting the incredible charities that make this time of year even more meaningful. Together, we help spread cheer, generosity, and togetherness — the very heart of Christmas.”
