Heart Extra Xmas ran again at the end of 2017. The pop-up festive offering was Global's successor to the prior Smooth Christmas service. Heart Extra was re-branded as Heart Extra Xmas, a pop-up Christmas music service with the slogan 'Turn up the festive feel good!', during November and December 2016. Global closed Heart Extra on 12 March 2020 and replaced it with a full-time 'Heart UK' national feed.
Heart Extra continued to broadcast on DAB and online as before. On 14 March 2017, Heart Extra was removed from the Sky and Virgin Media TV platforms in favour of new sibling Heart 80s.
As Heart Extra, the station broadcast a presenter-free music sequence from 10am-4pm on weekdays, and simulcast Heart London programming outside this time.
On 2 February 2016, Global announced that the station would launch as Heart Extra on national DAB on 29 February. Heart UK (formerly Heart Extra) is a digital radio station owned and operated by Global as a national version of Heart, and broadcast from studios at Leicester Square in London.
