iHeartMedia AC KOST-FM/Los Angeles will return to its annual non-stop holiday music programming, beginning Friday at 5pm. Known as "Southern California's official home for the holidays," KOST will air Christmas classics from artists including Barry Manilow, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and more, to contemporary Christmas songs from today's artists.

As part of KOST's Official Holiday Kick Off Celebration, recording artist Gwen Stefani will perform select songs from her holiday album, "You Make it Feel Like Christmas" during "iHeartRadio LIVE with Gwen Stefani" at the iHeartRadio Theater LA in Burbank. The event will also air as a national radio broadcast across select iHeartMedia AC and Hot AC stations with a live video stream on iHeartRadio's YouTube Channel.

"The holiday season in Southern California is officially underway when the first notes of holiday music are heard on KOST 103.5 - we have become the soundtrack for holiday music in Southern California and beyond," said KOST Program Director John Peake. "We've been sharing the holidays with our listeners for 19 consecutive years and in 2018, KOST 103.5 set a new record reaching more than 5.3 million festive minded listeners. We can't wait to do it again this year."
