Ring In the New Year With New Playlists Mixed by Artists, and More Spotify Hacks

The right playlist is essential on New Year’s Eve, building the energy as you get ready and keeping it high as you count down to midnight. This year, Spotify has your every moment covered. From pro-level party mixes to your own customized creations, here’s how to make your soundtrack unforgettable.

Set the vibe with new mixed playlists

Looking for the perfect party starter? We tapped some of your favorite artists to mix their own New Year’s Eve playlists on Spotify. Head to our Mixed By hub to find and save these new playlists from Anyma and Solomun, Rawayana, Amaarae, Cash Cobain, Jessie Ware, SG Lewis, Rochelle Jordan, Jim E-Stack, and Tiësto.

And if you’re a Premium user, you can make your own playlist party-ready by customizing the transitions between tracks. This gives you control over how your playlist flows, creating a smoother, more cohesive listening experience.

To get started, open any playlist you’ve created and tap “Mix” in the toolbar. You can use “Auto” for an instant blend or customize it manually, then save and share your mixed playlist.

Close out the year with a Wrapped Party

Turn your year in listening into a fun party game with Wrapped Party. This brand-new feature offers unique awards based on your group’s collective listening habits and turns your 2025 stats into a live competition with awards like “The Onion Chopper” or “Forever Young.”

To start a Wrapped Party, head to the Wrapped hub in the Spotify mobile app or search “Wrapped Party.”

Share the night’s soundtrack with Jam

With Jam, everyone at the party can add to the queue in real time so the music never stops and every guest feels included. It’s already the most popular Spotify feature on New Year’s Eve, with daily active users more than doubling year-over-year.

Premium users can start a Jam by tapping the “Create” button and inviting friends and family to join. If you’re playing on a speaker with Spotify Connect or Bluetooth, those nearby can jump right in. Everyone in the Jam can add songs, see who added what, and shape the vibe together.

Go Lossless for the final countdown

Whatever you’re listening to, make sure your party is hearing it in Spotify’s highest sound quality yet with Lossless audio on supported devices. If you’re a Premium user in one of our eligible markets, just enable “Lossless” in your settings.

 

With these features, Spotify has everything you need to soundtrack your celebration. Here’s to a great-sounding 2026.
