^A Don Bowman-hosted AMERICAN COUNTRY COUNTDOWN show with a Christmas theme would've been a great program, from both an entertainment and historical perspective. During the Bowman years, 1973-1978, there was considerable effort to showcase vintage country music. The program's cue sheets during the 70s, however, indicate that Christmas country music was never featured immediately prior to December 25, unlike its AT40 counterpart. And note that there's no what-if with Dick Clark. For the weekend of December 24/25, 1988, he hosted a Special Christmas Edition of ROCK, ROLL & REMEMBER, 4 hours of all holiday music. If you prefer an exclusive time period of the most popular Christmas music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, that program delivered. Even Wink Martindale - one time AT40 guest host - does a special Chrsitmas countdown via Radio Express, METV.fm Chicago has aired this every Christmas since 2016.

With maybe the exceptions of stations in Canada and Australia,since Saturday is Boxing Day. Do stations in those countries do anything special on Boxing Day? We may find out starting Friday night with KLFM. Update:KLFM is running 1971 on Friday night. That answers that question.

Christmas season runs through Epiphany, which is Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Personally, I would much rather hear Christmas/'Holiday' songs between about December 20 and Jan. 1 than all through the month of November and early December.

Personally, I would much rather hear Christmas/'Holiday' songs between about December 20 and Jan. 1 than all through the month of November and early December. I'm with mga707 with a twist. How I would program Christmas music... * Four weeks from Christmas: every 4th song played would be a Christmas tune. * Three weeks from Christmas: every 3rd song played would be a Christmas tune. * Two weeks from Christmas: every other song would be an X-Mas tune. * One week away from Christmas through Christmas day: 100% Christmas music. * December 26 - 27: 50% Christmas music. * December 28 - 29: 33% Christmas music. * December 30 - 31: 25% Christmas music leading into Top 100 of (insert year here) countdowns. * January 1: Back to regular programming (personally, I would be okay with an occasional Christmas song through Epiphany on January 6 but listeners would probably crab).
Also, I would not permit Christmas songs to re-enter the Hot 100. New Christmas tunes... sure but not classic tunes. Having a separate Christmas chart for a few weeks is fine.
jblues... Christmas didn't end Friday night. We're in the 12 days of Christmas. This could get fun... two metro Detroiters getting into an online argument .
