For the 10th time on Ö3: “You donate, we send!” for families in need in Austria
Vienna (OTS) – The countdown is on – from now on: The Ö3 Christmas miracle 2023 has started! Today (Tuesday) shortly after 10 a.m. in Bad Ischl, Robert Kratky, Gabi Hiller and Andi Knoll played the first wish hit of the Ö3 Christmas Miracle 2023 with “Hallelujah” by Pentatonix – thus ringing in the 120 hours in which only music wishes in exchange for donations on the agenda. Each song becomes a donation for the “Licht ins Dunkel” emergency aid fund and therefore for families in need in Austria. The Ö3 Christmas Miracle is the very special countdown to Christmas: five days full of dream hits, full of loud and happy, but also quiet and thoughtful moments – with well-known guests and of course again with unique live music sessions. The whole country is invited to feel the magical atmosphere directly on site and on all Ö3 channels and become a part of it.
Robert Kratky: “The Ö3 Christmas miracle is not us three presenters or our station… It is the people all over the country who donate, who take part, who are there on air, online or on site and thus become part of the miracle . Because that’s exactly what Austria is and that’s the Ö3 Christmas miracle: When we’re needed, we’re there for each other. Plus it’s just a beautiful and very, very cool show.”
Brilliant setting: the Bad Ischl spa park
The tenth Ö3 Christmas miracle LIVE from Bad Ischl! Over the next five days, the Kurpark will become the country’s shining show stage and will form the special setting for the Ö3 Christmas Miracle 2023. Directly in front of the theater and congress center is the heart of the Ö3 Christmas Miracle: the glass studio. Robert Kratky, Gabi Hiller and Andi Knoll will moderate the event over the next five days, fulfill the music wishes of Ö3 listeners, welcome studio guests and live musicians and, together with the Ö3 community, make the Christmas miracle come true. And of course the special Christmas miracle atmosphere is most intense directly on site. Because: In addition to all the prominent guests, the people who visit Ö3 in the Kurpark also create a very special atmosphere – which can be felt live on Ö3 and via video live stream throughout the country.

“You donate – we send!”
Whether live and directly in front of the Ö3-Wunschhütte or on the radio throughout Austria – from now on on Ö3 the motto is: “You donate, we send!” In return for a donation of any size, small or large, the aim is to receive as many music requests as possible from Ö3 listeners: to fulfill inside. These can be donated around the clock on site and at any time online, via SMS or on the donation telephone. The donation money from the Ö3 community is used every day to provide immediate help for families in acute emergencies in Austria via the “Light in the Dark Emergency Aid Fund”.
Everything that happens in the Ö3-Wunschhütte can be seen on Ö3 and in the live video stream. All information about the Ö3 Christmas miracle 2023 and the entire guest list can be found at: https://oe3weihnachtswunder.at/
