Welcome to c89.5’s Hall of Whamageddon 2025!

This holiday season c895 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 a gift certificate for a massage and ‘Cafe Chill’ float session at Rubicon Float Studio and more!

Listen to c895 all season long to up your odds – we are your guaranteed WHAM – free safe zone.

Follow the steps below to play along and be entered to win:*

Step 1. TEXT the word “WHAM” to 206-252-8989 to join the group attempting to “stay safe” this holiday season. Game starts at 12:01am on Sunday December 1, 2024. You also will need to fill out THIS GOOGLE FORM to be placed in the drawing for our Prize!

Step 2. STAY CLEAR OF WHAM’s “Last Christmas”…If you hear the original version of Wham’s hit “Last Christmas” you are officially sent to WHAMHALLA!  (remixes and covers do not count!)

Step 3. Did you hear “Last Christmas” and are now in WHAMHALLA? Text the word: “GEORGE” to 206-252-8989. (if you want to share WHERE and how you were sent to WHAMHALLA please do!)
