What to tell us for a personalized Christmas song
You don’t need to answer everything – two or three real details are enough. These questions help you find them:
- Who is it for – a partner, Mom and Dad, grandparents, the whole family?
- Which Christmas tradition is truly yours: the tree, the recipe, the movie, the pajamas?
- What happened this year that you are grateful for?
- Which Christmas from the past does everyone still laugh about?
- Who will be around the table this year – and who will be missed?
- Should it be cozy and tender or fun and festive?
- Will you play it on Christmas morning, at dinner or send it to family far away?
- What is your wish for them for the new year?
Example: a Christmas song with the family’s names
An illustration of how a few details turn into lyrics – your song is written from your own story.
The details
- Grandma Rose makes the same gingerbread every year
- The year the tree fell over in 2019
- Family is spread across three states
Lines they could become
Gingerbread at Grandma Rose’s door,
the tree that tipped in twenty-nineteen and hit the floor.
Three states apart but the table’s still set,
the best kind of Christmas we haven’t had yet.
So light up the porch and turn the music on,
Rose, this Christmas song is where we all belong.

Questions about personalized Christmas songs
When should I order for Christmas?
Any time before Christmas Eve works: Standard and Basic are ready within 24 hours and Express within 6 hours after you choose the lyrics. Ordering a few days early leaves time to read the lyrics and use your included changes.
Can the song be for the whole family?
Yes. Add the names and tell us about your family traditions – the song can be for your parents, grandparents or everyone around the table.
Can it sound festive?
Choose acoustic or pop and the “Joyful & uplifting” feeling. We don’t copy existing songs or artists, but the song can be as festive as you like.
Can it be a Christmas song for my boyfriend or girlfriend?
Yes. Choose “Partner” and tell us about your year together – your first Christmas, your traditions or the trip home to the family.
Can it remember someone who is no longer with us?
Yes. Tell us about them and choose a tender feeling – a song can hold a place at the table for someone you miss.
