Billed as 'ultimate musical advent calendar' for the Christmas season - the Spotify Festive Playlist - enables users to open a window to the musical tastes of some of the world's biggest artists.  Eight international music-artists have created their favourite festive-themed playlist for the new Spotify app hosted on Facebook, which will allow users to access a new track chosen by each artist, everyday in the run up to Christmas.

The service went live on 1st December and will provide music fans with an insight into the tracks that defined each artist's Christmas via their individual advent calendars, allowing for the best all-round festive-music experience accessible via the official Facebook page. Check it out for yourself here.

If you are looking to give someone you love the gift of music this Christmas, Spotify now offers gift cards. Your friends can redeem the card for a Spotify subscription, or download tracks to keep - it's their choice. Spotify Gift Cards are currently available in Co-op and Morrisons stores across the UK and will be rolling out in to other stores soon.

To celebrate the launch of Spotify Festive Playlist, we are giving away a couple of 6-month premium memberships! (approx. value £60).

If you are interested in getting your hand on one of those email your name to info@idolmag.co.uk (Subject: Spotify Festive Playlist)

BEFORE 20TH DECEMBER 2011.

GOOD LUCK!
