History
editThe ″Jingle Ball″ concept and branding evolved from Top 40 radio station WHTZ (Z100)'s December 1994 ″Acoustic Christmas″ concert. The December concerts replaced WHTZ's annual ″birthday celebration″ summer concerts (1984–1993).[citation needed] The inaugural Z100 ″Jingle Ball″ concert was presented on December 5, 1996 at Madison Square Garden in New York City—it continues to be held at the venue since then.[2]
