We are over the moon merry to announce ‘Tis The SEAson With The Sidekick will return to the airwaves this Christmas for our 9th fabulously festive season in 2025! You know LOVE LOVE LOVE CHRISTMAS so you’ve got to know we’re thrilled to be hosting our annual series on 88.7 CoveFM radio! It’s one of our favourite holiday traditions. LISTEN LIVE HERE.
So that means SEA AND BE SCENE… And HEARD will be on hiatus until the New Year and ‘Tis The SEAson With The Sidekick 2025 will be popping up in that time slot for four weeks, starting Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 3pm with the rebroadcast on Sunday, December 7st at 1pm and then run all the way up until Wednesday, December 24th. With all 4 episodes running back to back on Christmas Day. We sure hope you can tune in to CoveFM on the radio here along Nova Scotia’s South Shore at 88.7FM and listen online everywhere at covefm.com.
We promise every episode will feature festive fun facts, seasonal trivia, celebrity guests with special requests, The Sidekick’s steady stream of Holiday Ha-Ha’s, and naturally a marvellous mix of very merry music. With selections ranging from the all-time classics to the latest releases, along with a healthy heaping of East Coast favourites too.
Faithful fans of the show will be happy to note we’ll be connecting with our favourite elf Skippy every week again this year. He’s been the loveliest (and liveliest) of seasonal staples on the broadcast since it first aired back in 2017 – always bringing us the latest scoop from the North Pole and making all those stellar musical requests too! We always look forward to hearing from Santa and Mrs.Claus too so fingers crossed they’ll be calling again this year too!

It’s the merriest way to spend an hour as we count down to the big day – so tune in Wednesdays at 3pm and Sundays at 1pm for the first four weeks of December – all the way up to Christmas Day!
And as if our hearts couldn’t be more full – we’re ever so grateful to have our 9th Annual ‘Tis The SEAson With The Sidekick series Powered by our wonderful pals at Canadian Tire Halifax-Bayers Lake.
