This month marks the 30th anniversary of the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, which was originally founded on December 15, 1995.
For three decades, some of the top performers in Pop, rock, hip hop, R&B and more have gathered in Southern California for the Jingle Ball holiday concerts.
Since 2012, the event has been held in multiple cities and has even gone on tour. It’s now a Christmas tradition for music lovers in the United States.
To get you ready for this year’s event, Watch With Us has put together a brief guide to everything you need to know about the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025, including where and how to watch it.
How to Watch the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025
The only way fans had to watch the special live was if they were actually at one of this year’s concerts. For everyone else, there are two options. On homes with broadcast network access or cable TV, the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025 special will be broadcast on Wednesday, December 17, at 5:00 p.m. PST/8:00 p.m. EST and run for approximately two hours. Please note that due to a last-minute speech by President Trump, the special will be briefly interrupted before resuming.
Outside of ABC’s online portal, there are no options to live-stream the special without a subscription. However, Hulu has the exclusive streaming rights for this year’s event, and it will be added there on Thursday, December 18. Viewers who subscribe to Hulu’s Live TV service will also be able to stream the special live on Wednesday night. The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2024 special is still available to stream on Hulu as well.
Who’s Hosting the Jingle Ball?
Perennial TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest will cohost the two-hour special with Elvis Duran.
