Listen Up! is getting into the holiday spirit with its annual holiday hoopla with assorted offbeat, cool and zany seasonal musical treats. While spirited and at times invigorating, these are not traditional holiday singalongs.
Grab the nog, sport the reindeer antlers, trim the tree and join the party.
Listen Up!: Where the cool, the classic, the corny and even the cringe-worthy collide.
Follow the Listen Up! Blog and/or “like” the show on Facebook . Both serve as an addendum and a means to interact with the program.
