LiveDrive Alternative Christmas Anthem


​This year on LiveDrive, we're on the search for an alternative Christmas anthem for the show. We know we all love to hear the classics such as 'Fairy Tale Of New York' and 'Driving Home For Christmas', but we also want to shine a light on some lesser heard seasonal tunes.
How it works is simple. Over the next few days we're looking for nominations from all of you ​for a song that you think deserves the title of 'LiveDrive alternative Christmas anthem'. It can be Irish or from abroad. Then, our panel of judges will whittle it down to a shortlist of three songs. On Friday evening's programme, these songs will go head to head for your vote, with the winner being playlisted on every show next week as our inaugural alternative Xmas anthem. On top of this, the listener who originally nominates the winning track will receive a special Christmas stocking from us here at LiveDrive.
To participate, all we need you to do is get in touch via text, whatsapp or tweet with your nomination for alternative Christmas anthem along with your name. Nominations close this Wednesday at 6pm.
