Of course, what radio station would be completely without a Christmas Panto? Featuring a "Celebrity" guest, each year we put our own spin on popular pantomimes. | Of course, what radio station would be completely without a Christmas Panto?

Every year, towards the end of the Autumn Term, URY has this awful habit of doing two "festive" "things".
URY Christmas Single
URY's Committee, Presenters and general happeners all get together on a Saturday (or other convenient time), to record a cute original music video for a popular song. Of course, this is then followed up with a studio recording of our wonderful voices singing - I can assure you it's an experience.
Usually, these songs are covers of traditional Christmas tunes. Although sometimes they will be parodies relevant to the University of York, or even completely original compositions. As of 2013, all of these are available in URY's Central Music Library.

|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Fairytale of New York | A nice traditional outright cover. Entirely produced by URY. [1] |
| 2013 | This is Hes East | Part of the 2013 Christmas Panto. Yes, we know the panto version doesn't normally do "A Whole New World". [2] |
| 2012 | Merry Christmas Everyone | There are rumours an alternate version consisting entirely of the URY Computing Team exists, but was never allowed to see daylight. Entirely produced by URY. [3] |
| 2011 | Black Christmas | A parody of Rebecca Black's Friday. Due to lack of forward planning, was performed live on air by whoever was around at the time. Failed miserably. |
| 2010 | I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday | Outright cover. The music video was produced by YSTV. We don't talk about it. |
| 2010 | I Go To York Uni, It's True | Little is known of this parody of All I Want For Christmas Is You - not even the source of the vocals. However, we can learn a valuable lesson - the only thing that has changed ever since is that you can't get olives in YUSU Bars anymore. |
| 2009 | Do They Know It's Christmas? | The older tech we had back then is quite obvious. |
| 2008 | Christmas On My Face (A Terrible Case of Xmas) | This is original. Original! And also The Best Thing! [4] |
Christmas Panto
Of course, what radio station would be completely without a Christmas Panto? Featuring a "Celebrity" guest, each year we put our own spin on popular pantomimes.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Aladdin | Jon Lee (off of S Club 7) | A nice traditional outright cover. Entirely produced by URY. [5] |
| 2012 | I can't remember. | Some Bloke off of Coronation Street, I think. |
