Christmas in India does not look the same everywhere. In Goa it is midnight mass and bebinca. In Kerala it is the star in the window and appam. In Mumbai it is Bandra lights and a family lunch. In the Northeast it is carols that run late into the night. And for families abroad, it is a video call that cannot quite replace being home.
A song written for your people fits all of these. It can be a gift under the tree, a surprise at the dinner table or something you send to someone far away.
Who is a Christmas song for?
Most people order one for a partner, because the season is made for it. A song about the year you had together, the small plans for the next one and the words you never say out loud, is a better present than another perfume set.
Others order for the whole family. A song about the house, the grandmother's kitchen and the cousins who arrive every 24 December works well when read out at dinner. It is also a quiet answer to the question every family asks: what do we get for someone who has everything?
If you are buying for someone you have just started dating, keep it simple. One real story from your first months is enough for a short, sweet song, and it avoids promising more than the relationship has said yet.
- A partner: the year you shared and the one ahead
- Parents: thanks for every Christmas they made special
- Grandparents: the old traditions in their own language
- A friend or relative abroad: a piece of home they can play on repeat
What can go into the lyrics?
Christmas gives songs a lot to work with. The carol you sang as a child, the midnight walk to church, the plum cake someone always burns, the string lights that never work. Tell us two or three real details and the song will sound like your home.
You can choose the mood. A warm family song for the table, a soft love song for a couple or a lively one for a house full of cousins. We write in English, Hinglish, Hindi and other languages, including the ones you speak at home.
How late can you order for Christmas?
For a calm Christmas, order by 18 December. The Note (₹399) arrives in 5 days and The Serenade (₹799) in 3 days, and you still have time to ask for changes. With The Serenade and above, your lyrics are sent on WhatsApp for your OK before we produce the song.
Left it late? Studio (₹999) is delivered within 24 hours, so order it by 23 December to have it for Christmas Eve. It includes a lyric video, a print-ready lyric sheet with a QR code and a music video cut from your photos of the year.
Whichever you pick, send your details early. A song is written on the details you give, and a hurried form can only produce a hurried song.
How do you give a song at Christmas?
The song arrives on a private gift page with a player, an MP3 download and the lyrics. Nothing is shipped. That means you can order as late as 24 December with Studio, which is delivered within 24 hours.
Some people print the lyric sheet from The Serenade and put it under the tree with a small note: scan to play. Others play it at dinner after the toast. For someone far away, send the link on WhatsApp at midnight and let them open it first thing on Christmas morning.
- Print the lyric sheet and tuck the QR in a card
- Play it at the table after the toast
- Send the link at midnight for a Christmas morning surprise
- Keep the MP3 as a family memory for next year
Ideas for giving a Christmas song
The gift page works on any phone, so you can slip it into a Secret Santa too. A song for a colleague or a friend, with one or two warm details and a few jokes, is far more memorable than a mug.
If your family is spread over Mumbai, Goa, Kochi and abroad, make it a shared gift. Each person sends a memory and the song becomes one that all of you can play on a video call on Christmas night.
Five minutes from you. A song for life.

The moment they press play is the moment they realise how much you mean it.
“He says he doesn’t want anything, every single year. I played it at 12 sharp on a video call and he went quiet for a full minute. Then asked me to play it again. And again.”
“I’m terrible with words and she knows it. I gave them our 2 am Maggi, her ‘bas paanch minute’ and our one Goa trip. She made it her ringtone. Not complaining.”
“Mumma is not a crier. She cried. Then she called my mausi and played it on speaker. The lyric sheet with the QR code is stuck on the fridge now, so every guest gets a demo.”
“The lyrics came on WhatsApp for my OK the next evening. I changed one line about our first trip to Pondy and they fixed it within the hour. The final song was beautiful.”
“My brother lives in Toronto now and the rakhi wouldn’t reach in time, so I sent this. He replied with a voice note that was mostly sniffing. Best rakhi ever, honestly.”
“Six months of time zones and missed calls, and somehow it all fit in three minutes. He plays it on the metro to office. I know because he sends me screenshots.”
“We played it at the sangeet as a surprise for Meera’s parents. Her dad, who has never danced in public, stood up. We have it on video. Worth every rupee.”
“We had a bad fight and I didn’t know how to start talking again. Sent this with a two line message. She called in ten minutes. A song doesn’t fix everything, but it opened the door.”
“We put in his old Bajaj scooter, his terrible jokes and how he still calls me ‘beta ji’. Everyone was in tears by the second verse. He has made his whole walking group listen to it.”
“Took Studio because I’d left it to the night before. Sent 15 photos on WhatsApp and the next evening I had the song and a music video of us. Felt like a trailer of our relationship.”
“My best friend moved to Berlin. The song has our hostel days, the 3 am chai runs and the bike that never started. He plays it when he misses home. I play it when I miss him.”
“Fifteen years married and he still gets shy when I say I love you. Now I don’t say it, I just play the song. He pretends to be annoyed and hums it all day.”
“He had it playing in the background when he proposed and I didn’t realise it was about us at first. Then I heard my nickname. That’s when I lost it.”
“Made it in Punjabi for my Bebe. She doesn’t use a phone, so my cousin played it on the TV. She clapped along and then asked who told them about her garden.”
“Ordering from Dubai felt risky but it was easy. Filled the form in five minutes and got updates on WhatsApp the whole way. My husband now thinks I’m very romantic. Let him.”
“Was skeptical about paying for a song. Then the first verse had the exact chai stall where we met. Took The Serenade, framed the lyric sheet and gave it with the song.”
“Asked for one change in the chorus and they did it without any fuss. Mummy plays it every morning with her chai now. Papa is jealous and wants his own.”
“Mum and Dad’s 30th. I’m in London, they’re in Vadodara. We played it on a family video call. Dad tried to act cool and failed. Mum asked for the lyrics printed, so the QR sheet was perfect.”
