As the holiday season approaches, music becomes a cornerstone of our gatherings, enhancing the moments we share with friends and family. Spotify Jam offers a unique, real-time listening experience that adds a personalized touch to these festive celebrations. With this feature, Premium users can create a shared queue, inviting others to contribute their favorite songs. It’s a perfect way to revisit nostalgic tracks and share new discoveries with loved ones.
In 2023, Spotify observed a record-breaking surge in Jam usage on Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve alone, the number of users joining a Jam session nearly doubled compared to the previous year. Not only that, but group sizes expanded significantly, with a tenfold increase in Jams featuring six or more participants as people welcomed the New Year together.
Ready to make the most of Spotify Jam this holiday season? Here are three ways to elevate your festive listening experience:
1. Jam on Your Smart TV
Turn your living room into the ultimate music hub by starting a Jam on your smart TV. With the QR code displayed on the screen, friends and family can join effortlessly using their own devices. It’s the perfect way to keep the tunes flowing no matter where the party is in your home.
2. Bring Jam to the Car
Heading out for a holiday road trip? Let your passengers take control of the playlist with Spotify Jam. Over the past year, Jams started in the car have increased tenfold, reflecting a growing trend of on-the-go group listening. As long as Bluetooth is enabled, passengers can join the session, add songs to the queue, and enjoy group recommendations for a truly collaborative journey.
3. Jam with Friends Near and Far
Whether your loved ones are close by or miles away, Spotify Jam makes it easy to connect through music. Premium users can invite anyone in the same room to join the Jam by enabling Bluetooth and tapping phones together. Alternatively, share the Jam link via text, social media, or other platforms. Household members connected to the same Wi-Fi network will also receive a prompt to join as soon as they open Spotify. Distance is no barrier to sharing your favorite tracks this holiday season.
Spotify Jam is a celebration of connection, giving both Free and Premium users the chance to bond over the artists, songs, and albums that bring people together. For Premium listeners, the ability to join a Jam from anywhere—whether across the room or across the globe—adds an extra layer of magic to the holiday festivities. So, don’t miss out on creating unforgettable musical moments with Jam this season!
