Ö3 Christmas Miracle Recorded a Record

The Ö3 Christmas Miracle has once again achieved a record result this year: 5,562,382 Euro were raised for families in need in Austria, the ORF announced on Wednesday, Christmas Eve. This year's team consisted of Philipp Hansa, Tina Ritschl, and Andi Knoll. As always, they broadcasted for 120 hours, and this year the wish cabin was located at Salzburg's Kapitelplatz. The amount, which was raised through donations in exchange for music requests, goes to the "Licht ins Dunkel Emergency Relief Fund".

Over 40,000 Euro through Ö3 Wonder Bag

An additional approximately 430,000 Euro has been raised so far through the Ö3 Wonder Bag. This year, the station called for the 21st time to dispose of old mobile phones in an environmentally friendly way and thus donate cashlessly for families in need in Austria. This is expected to result in a total of around six million Euro from the Ö3 donations from the Christmas Miracle and Wonder Bag.

Side note: The most requested song at the Christmas Miracle was "Driving Home for Christmas" by Chris Rea, who passed away a few days ago.
