Ho Ho Radio: The Soundtrack of Glittering Lights
What You’ll Hear on Ho Ho Radio: Our Favorite Festive Tunes & Holiday Fun. Ho Ho Radio is the holiday soundtrack inside Glittering Lights at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hosted by Joanna and Sean from Sunny 106.5 and sparked by Loyalty Plumbing, this cheerful station fills the entire drive with music, trivia, jokes, and silly games. It brings holiday joy from the moment your car enters the gates until the second you roll back out.
If you are visiting Glittering Lights this season, get ready for more than millions of lights. You will also tune into Ho Ho Radio, the official source of Christmas cheer inside the park. The show feels like the funniest holiday house party you have ever joined, right inside your car. With classic songs, goofy games, trivia, holiday movie clues, and sponsor shoutouts that actually make you laugh, it adds magic to every mile. Ho Ho Radio is sparked by Loyalty Plumbing, and this year we are celebrating 25 years of Glittering Lights, presented by The Richard Harris Law Firm. Below is a look at the fun you will hear on the radio during your visit.
Guess That Christmas Movie
Joanna and Sean love giving terrible hints for classic Christmas movies. They do it on purpose, and guests try to guess the title before they reveal the answer. These silly clues make the whole family laugh. Examples include: Home Alone: “Child neglect, booby traps, and lifelong oven fear.” Elf: “A grown man eats syrup like soup and shouts through New York.” Die Hard: “Sweaty vents and explosions in the most debated Christmas movie ever.” You will also hear clues for The Polar Express, A Christmas Story, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more.
Holiday This or That
Next, things get weird in the best way. Joanna and Sean ask holiday “This or That” questions that are silly, strange, and fun to debate. These questions spark laughter in every car. Some examples are: Ugly Christmas sweater every day or permanent elf ears? Mystery gift from Krampus or reindeer poop scooper? Hair made of tinsel or hair made of lights? Hug a sweaty mall Santa or get slapped by a fish in a Santa hat? Each question leads to new conversations, jokes, and playful arguments.
Reindeer Games: Count to Win
Reindeer Games are a family tradition at Glittering Lights. While you drive through the course, count every reindeer you can spot. Then submit your guess at glitteringlights.vegas for a chance to win weekly prizes. Thanks to Sun City Garage Door, the presenting sponsor of Santa’s Reindeer Garage, prizes even include a drone. Remember, Max the dog does not count, even if he is wearing antlers.
Santa Tram Is Back
The Santa Tram, powered by Silver State Schools Credit Union, is one of the coziest ways to enjoy the lights. Guests ride in an open-air tram with cocoa, games, and free photos with Santa. The team drives, so you can relax, snuggle up, and take in the views. This experience is cute, warm, and very Instagram worthy.
Fun Facts and Festive Trivia
Throughout the night, Ho Ho Radio sprinkles in holiday facts and kid-friendly trivia. These short bits keep things lively and fun. A few examples you may hear are: Reindeer noses glow red because of extra blood vessels. The Statue of Liberty is the biggest Christmas gift ever. In 2022, twenty-six Christmas songs hit the Billboard charts at the same time. Of course, Joanna and Sean add jokes, puns, and playful comments to keep the energy high.
Biscuit’s Golden Ticket Scratch-Off
Every car receives a Biscuit’s Golden Ticket scratch-off, and every ticket wins a prize. The prizes change often and include treats from Nothing Bundt Cakes, diamond earrings from Michael E. Minden, a year of haircuts from Great Clips, NASCAR Pennzoil 400 tickets, a $1,000 shopping spree at BLVD Home, Live Nation concert tickets, and more. Santa can keep the cookies. We want the prizes.
Shoutouts, Sponsors, and Volunteers
Ho Ho Radio celebrates the partners and volunteers who keep the season bright. You will hear shoutouts to Del Taco, Terrible’s, Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, Marriage Can Be Murder Dinner Show, the Living Nativity, the Fast Pass powered by Diamondback Land Surveying, and many more. These partners help keep the lights shining and the Christmas spirit rolling all season long.
Turn Up the Cheer
Whether you are counting reindeer, laughing at Santa jokes, choosing between silly options, or singing along with Mariah Carey, Ho Ho Radio adds extra fun to every visit. It turns the ride through Glittering Lights into a full holiday experience. So roll down your windows, turn up the volume, and enjoy the jingles, jokes, and joy all season long.
