Siobhán McAleese from Trim, Co. Meath, has been crowned the winner of the SPAR Christmas FM Song Contest 2024 - the winner was announced by SPAR Sales Director Colin Donnelly on a live outside broadcast on Monday morning, December 9 at SPAR, Dame Street, Dublin 2.
The winning ‘Merry Jolly Christmas’ song, which was inspired by Siobhán’s children, Maisie and Dylan, will now be added to the Christmas FM playlist. Siobhán was also presented 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 members of the general public get in the Christmas mood by handing out delicious mince pies during the live Outside Broadcast of the Christmas FM Breakfast Show.
Colin Donnelly, SPAR Sales Director, 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.”
As well as sponsoring the Christmas FM Song Content, SPAR has been sponsoring Christmas FM’s streaming service since November 1, which will continue until New Year’s Eve.
