Spar and Christmas FM have revealed the winner of their 2024 Christmas song contest in a live broadcast.
Spar sales director Colin Donnelly announced Siobhán McAleese from Trim, Co. Meath as the winner on a live broadcast on Monday morning at Spar, Dame Street, Dublin 2.
The winning ‘Merry Jolly Christmas’ song was inspired by Siobhán’s children, Maisie and Dylan, and it will now be added to the Christmas FM playlist.
As well as this honour, the radio station presented Siobhán with a €500 Spar gift voucher.
Spar’s Colin Donnelly joined host Garvan Rigby on air to reveal the winner as Spar Dame Street helped customers, commuters and the general public get into the Christmas mood by handing out delicious mince pies during the live broadcast of the Christmas FM morning show.
Donnelly said, “Christmas is a very special time of the year for Spar, a time we really love ‘Under the Tree’!
“I want to congratulate Siobhán McAleese on winning the Spar Christmas FM Song Contest and wish her every success in her future career.
“Our retailers support their communities through the year and this sponsorship is another way of highlighting their commitment.
“Well done again to Siobhán.”
In addition to sponsoring the song contest, Spar has also been sponsoring Christmas FM’s streaming service since 1 November, which will continue until New Year’s Eve.
