A Christmas station ID is a station identification jingle of ABS-CBN to celebrate the holiday season. The songs were released on October, November, or December. The station IDs, however, were aired from November to January of the following year on the main ABS-CBN network from 2002 to 2020, and mainly on Kapamilya Channel since 2020.
Among all of the network's Christmas IDs, Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko was widely known as ABS-CBN's signature song for the Christmas holidays.
