History

″Jingle Ball″ was created by Top 40 radio station WHTZ in 1995. The concert is presented each year at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The annual December concerts replaced WHTZ’s annual ″birthday celebration″ summer concerts (1984-1993). The ″Jingle Ball″ concept and branding evolved from WHTZ's December 1994 ″Acoustic Christmas″ concert.

The inaugural ″Jingle Ball″ concert was held on December 15, 1995.[2] The lineup included:
