What is KCLR's Joy To The World?

Most of us will be celebrating a traditional Irish Christmas in 2024 but for those with a different heritage, Christmas celebrations can be quite different.

Joy To The World celebrates Christmas from around the World, where we hear from different nationalities and discover what makes Christmas special to each. Guests join us to tell us all about their Christmas traditions, music, preparations, decorations, foods and exchanges of gifts.

Available to start streaming from 16 December 2024 for 10 episodes.
