RMF Kolędy

RMF Koledy is a seasonal internet radio station from Poland's RMF FM network, dedicated entirely to kolędy — the Polish Christmas carol tradition — and the broader universe of Christmas music that fills Polish homes and churches during the Advent and Christmas season. The station is a beloved annual institution for Polish listeners at home and abroad, offering an uninterrupted stream of the music that defines the Polish holiday experience from the first notes of Advent through the end of the Christmas season.

What You Will Hear

Traditional Polish kolędy form the heart of the programming — ancient sacred carols sung in Polish with the harmonic richness of centuries of choral tradition. These sit alongside popular seasonal songs, international Christmas classics in Polish and English, and contemporary holiday recordings from Polish artists. The atmosphere is warm, reverent, and genuinely festive in a way that commercial Christmas radio rarely achieves.

Who Is This Station For?

RMF Koledy is cherished by Polish families both in Poland and throughout the Polish diaspora worldwide — in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and beyond — for whom the sound of kolędy is inseparable from the meaning of Christmas. It is also enjoyed by anyone who appreciates the distinctive beauty of Central European Christmas music traditions.

About Polish Christmas Music and Kolędy Tradition

The kolęda tradition in Poland is one of Europe's richest and most distinctive Christmas musical heritages, with some carols dating back to the medieval period. Polish Christmas music blends sacred church compositions with folk melodies that vary by region, reflecting the country's diverse musical geography. The tradition includes not just sung carols but also the szopka — nativity scene shows — and groups of singers who go house to house in the old custom of kolędowanie. RMF Koledy brings this rich tradition to the digital age.
