The year on Spotify: Holiday
Take the insights and inspiration with you
Plan ahead
Sleigh bells may not ring until late December, but Spotify users start streaming holiday classics as early as November. For planners, this is key to making the most of the season. So you can connect with listeners from that very first jingle.
Understand the moment
The holidays are a time for togetherness, and we see that directly reflected on Spotify. Streams on smart speakers and TVs surge during the season, as loved ones gather to enjoy their favorite classics.
Whether listeners are feeling naughty or nice, we know music often takes center stage. One moment stands out in particular: mealtime. As traditions take place over mixing bowls and kitchen counters, families tune into the holiday soundtracks that matter most.
