La Voix and Tom Allen to launch new Magic Radio Christmas Shows today and tomorrow

Magic Christmas is turning up the festive cheer today, Saturday November 14, as La Voix joins its weekend presenting team, with comedian Tom Allen also set to take to the airwaves from tomorrow.

Bauer Media Audio UK has announced that entertainers La Voix and Tom Allen are joining Magic Christmas for the 2026 festive season, bringing a mix of comedy, personality and Christmas spirit to the station’s all-day festive programming.

La Voix makes her presenting debut today, Saturday November 14, while Allen joins the line-up tomorrow, Sunday November 15. Both will host weekend shows on the station, which has established itself as a destination for listeners looking to get into the Christmas spirit.

The announcement sees two familiar entertainment personalities become part of the Magic Christmas family, alongside presenters from across the wider Magic Radio network.

La Voix, known for her singing, comedy and live entertainment performances, will bring her larger-than-life personality to the weekend schedule. Allen, one of Britain’s best-known comedians and television personalities, will provide his trademark humour and warmth as listeners enjoy a soundtrack of festive favourites.

Speaking about her new role, La Voix said: “Joining Magic Christmas is a joy – it’s the station people turn to when they really want to feel that festive magic. I can’t wait to bring some glamour, big Christmas tunes and plenty of fun to weekends on the Home of Christmas Radio.”

Allen added: “I’m thrilled to be part of Magic Christmas and I’m very much looking forward to keeping people company on those busy festive weekends with all the Christmas music they could want!”

Magic Christmas welcomes new weekend presenters

The new appointments form part of Bauer’s plans to make Magic Christmas the home of festive radio across the UK this year.

Paul Sylvester, Magic Radio Content Director at Bauer Media Audio UK, said the station was delighted to welcome the pair, highlighting their ability to entertain audiences and add something special to the Christmas schedule.

He said: “Magic Christmas has become the place our listeners come to wrap themselves up in the festive season, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome La Voix and Tom Allen to our weekend line-up. They’re both brilliant entertainers who bring real joy, a little sparkle and they’ll make Magic Christmas even more special. Magic Radio is synonymous with Christmas and this year we’re going all-out to be UK radio’s home of Christmas.”

La Voix and Allen will be joined by several established names from the Magic Radio presenting team, including Magic Breakfast’s Harriet Scott, comedian and presenter Mel Giedroyc, and mid-morning presenter Nick Snaith.
