Spotify Wrapped 2025 is expected to drop very soon — likely on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
That date is an educated guess, based on the platform’s consistent tendency to release Wrapped in late November or early December, often on a Wednesday following Thanksgiving. Past release dates include November 29 (2023), November 30 (2022), December 1 (2021), and December 4 (2024).
As of now, Spotify hasn’t officially confirmed the release date for 2025. However, the company recently posted a “Coming Soon” banner — encouraging users to update their app — which strongly hints Wrapped is imminent.

What Spotify Wrapped Is
Since 2016, Spotify Wrapped has served as the streaming giant’s signature year-end recap. Each user’s Wrapped summary highlights their most-streamed songs, artists, albums, and genres over the past year. It also includes total listening time and, for some users, fun extras — such as “listening personality” features or shareable story-style results for social media.
The campaign appeals to both free and Premium subscribers, and often drives a surge of social media posts when it lands.
How Spotify Wrapped 2025 May Work — And What Could Be New
- Data collection period: Traditionally, Spotify has compiled Wrapped stats from January 1 through roughly early/mid-November. Although the company hasn’t re-confirmed precise cutoff dates for 2025, this window likely remains similar.
- Accessing Wrapped: When Spotify Wrapped 2025 goes live, users should see a prominent prompt on the mobile app home screen. It will also be accessible via the Spotify website. Note: Historically, the full Wrapped experience is not always available in the desktop app.
- Updated App Recommended: Spotify has urged users to update their app to access Wrapped immediately when it drops — a standard move to ensure compatibility and bug-free performance.
- What to expect: Alongside the usual recap of top songs, artists, and listening minutes, Wrapped 2025 may include visual and interactive features similar to previous years — personalized playlists, shareable story cards, perhaps updated “listening personality” experiences.
Why the Timing Matters
The December launch serves multiple purposes for Spotify. It gives the company time to process a full year of listening data, build promotional campaigns, and capitalize on heightened user engagement during the holidays. For users, it offers a moment to reflect on their listening habits, compare music tastes with friends, and share results online.
With billions of streams across millions of users, Wrapped has become more than a recap — it’s a cultural moment.
What You Should Do Now
Make sure your Spotify app is updated. Keep an eye on your home screen starting Wednesday, December 3 — or check the Spotify website if you don’t see a pop-up in the app. That way, you’ll be ready to view and share your personal 2025 Wrapped the second it drops.
Let us know once you’ve seen your Wrapped — what are you expecting your top song or artist to be?
