Though crowds aren't allowed to gather this year, kmfm has kicked off the festive season with a bang.

Featuring Olly Murs, Craig David and Jess Glynne, KentOnline's sister station encouraged listeners to get involved and switch on their lights at the same time - 5.30pm yesterday.

A host of people tuning in sent in videos of them celebrating with their families.

While not as much of a grand affair as previous years, Father Christmas still got to deliver his message to a huge number of people.

If you are pining for another Christmas lights switch-on, you can watch Sandwich's via Facebook on Saturday, December 5, at 6.45pm.

Deal's is tonight, Friday, at 7pm on the Deal and Walmer Chamber of Trade's website.
