This holiday season c89.5 wants to know: Can you survive WHAMAGEDDON?

Your mission is simple: Avoid hearing “Last Christmas” by WHAM until midnight on Christmas Eve! If you hear the song before midnight on December 24th, you’re sent to the cold, imaginary halls of Whamhalla. But if you survive the festive madness without hearing the WHAM classic you’ll have a chance to win a delicious Post Holiday Prize Pack which includes an Annual Family Membership to Seattle Children’s Museum, a gift certificate for a massage and ‘Cafe Chill’ float session at Rubicon Float, Massage, and Wellness and more!

Listen to c89.5 all season long to up your odds – we are your guaranteed WHAM – free safe zone.

c89.5’s Whamageddon is presented by Seattle Children’s Museum’s Noon Year’s Eve Colorful Countdown, with tickets and info at https://seattlechildrensmuseum.org/event/noon-years-eve-colorful-countdown/
