ST. LOUIS — St. Louis radio station 102.5 KEZK is switching over to "wrap music." The station known for its adult contemporary music is now playing Christmas music 24 hours a day, seven days a week from now until Christmas.
You can tune into the merry melodies on the radio or by downloading the Audacy app.
102.5 KEZK makes the holiday switch each year in November.
There's frequently a debate over how soon is too soon to start playing and listening to Christmas music. People across the country already have been humming along to "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree" and other holiday favorites.

Kiener Plaza's Winterfest kicks off Saturday, Nov. 20. Wild Lights returns to the Saint Louis Zoo the day after Thanksgiving, and Anheuser-Busch's Brewery Lights display also returns that Friday.
