These streaming services have smart TV apps too, but they (so far) don’t marry music and slideshow-like visuals in a single experience. Visual playlists feature is a clever way for iHeartRadio to fend off the big streaming giants like Apple Music and Spotify during the holiday season. Each image appears on-screen for about 12 seconds before fading into the next one, so even TVs that have a tendency toward image-retention should be fine. The imagery in the Christmas playlists includes fairly typical scenes like roaring fireplaces with stockings hung on a mantel, but there are also fun variations on the idea, like a pickup truck with a freshly cut tree in the flatbed. If you find one you really like, you can save it to your library and watch/listen to it again any time. To find these experiences, open the iHeartRadio app on your Comcast X1, Vizio or Samsung smart TV and select the Visual Playlists category. If you’d prefer to see visuals accompanied by fewer Burl Ives and Mariah Carey tunes, you can also choose from Top 40, Country, Kids & Family, 80s, Classic Rock, and other stations. Holiday compilations like iHeartChristmas and iHeartChristmas Classics are the most obvious choice for those looking to get in the holiday mood, but they’re not the only options. The new feature combines curated music playlists with holiday photo imagery for a continuous festive slideshow set to music. Instead of flipping your TV to the fireplace channel - which may not have a very inspiring music soundtrack - why not fire up the iHeartRadio app and tune in to one of the streaming music company’s “ visual playlists“? iHeartRadio IHeartRadio has a suggestion for Vizio smart TV, Samsung smart TV, and Comcast X1 owners this holiday season.
