VIRGIN Media customers will notice a bunch of free new channels added to their TV boxes today.
There’s something for lovers of Christmas tunes – as well as viewers with an interest in all things food, home and gardening.
The big festive launch sees the return of NOW XMAS.
From today, Virgin Media subscribers will be able to find NOW XMAS on channel number 292 for their fix of much-loved festive music videos.
NOW XMAS takes the slot of Clubland TV which will come back to screens next year.

OH COME ALL YE VIEWERS
Nostalgic Christmas channel RETURNS to TVs for the last time ever
But that’s not the only new arrival for Virgin Media.
Today also marks the launch of Inside Outside, a new FAST – Free Ad-Supported TV – channel.
The channel covers everything food, home and garden with classic shows hosted by stars including Gordon Ramsay, Paul Hollywood, Heston Blumenthal, Kevin McCloud, George Clarke and Alan Titchmarsh.
Virgin Media now has 33 FAST channels, which rely on an internet connection instead of the traditional cable.
Inside Outside can be found on TVs by tapping in 231.
Elsewhere this week on Virgin TV, Sky Cinema subscribers need to be aware of one temporary change.
On Friday, Sky Cinema Blockbusters will disappear and become Sky Cinema Epic Worlds.
The move comes just days after Sky Cinema Action and Sky Cinema Comedy returned, having spent a short period as Sky Cinema Transformers and Sky Cinema Pitch Perfect respectively.
Sadly, there’s no news on whether Virgin Media will receive the new Disney Jr channel which is returning to screens after a five year absence.
Sky recently announced a deal that brings the channel back to linear TV in the UK for the first time since 2020 when all Disney channels closed.
It will return to Sky Q, Sky+, Sky Glass and Sky Stream on Thursday for those who subscribe to the £8 a month Sky Kids add-on package.
