A note on how the app works today: songs come from the Sideline DJ curated catalogue of clean songs, chosen by moment and genre through Apple Music. Custom playlists are not part of the app yet.
On my drive into work yesterday, CFOX shared a hilarious story. Someone in Surrey played the full Mariah Carey Christmas classic at a youth sports game over the weekend.
Yes, All I Want for Christmas Is You. In September.
It instantly made me laugh, but it also sparked an idea. Should Sideline DJ create a holiday playlist?
Sideline DJ is all about helping parents and coaches bring the right music to the right moment. From warm ups to penalties to big goals, music has the power to unite players and fans, build energy, and make memories. So why not give December tournaments and year end events their own festive soundtrack?
Here is what a Sideline DJ Holiday Playlist could include:
- 🎅 Seasonal cheer with a curated mix of classics and modern holiday hits to set the mood
- 🏒 Game day ready songs filtered by vibe such as pump up, uplifting, funny, or throwback
- ⏱ Perfect timing with playlists tailored for pre game hype, in game breaks, or post game celebrations
Sports are about more than competition. They are about community, laughter, and those little moments that become family stories for years to come. If one of those stories is a rink full of kids and parents belting out Mariah Carey in December, we think that is worth celebrating.
What do you think, should we add a Holiday Playlist to Sideline DJ?
