Christmas bingo 2026
Christmas music bingo with your own festive playlist
Swap numbers for songs. In music bingo the cards show song titles, and guests mark them off when they recognise the tune. Pick your own Christmas songs – from Wham! and Mariah Carey to Bublé and Band Aid – and have the cards ready in two minutes. Perfect for the office Christmas party, a family get-together or a festive night at the pub.

Christmas music bingo questions
What is Christmas music bingo?+
It's bingo with song titles on the cards instead of numbers. You play a Christmas playlist and guests mark off each song when they hear it. One line, two lines and full house win.
Can we use our own Christmas playlist from Spotify?+
Yes. Just paste the link to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist and Musingo builds the cards from its songs. The playlist needs to be public.
How many songs should the Christmas playlist have?+
40–60 songs is ideal. That gives enough variety for every card to be different and a game of around 30–45 minutes.
Can we play on phones instead of printing?+
Yes. Guests scan a QR code and play on their phone, or you print the cards as a PDF. You can also mix both.
How long does it take to make the cards?+
About two minutes. You get the cards straight away, so it works even on the day of the party.
