When is Spotify Wrapped 2025? First-week-of-December drop expected, with a likely mid-week launch

The year’s biggest music ritual is nearly here. As of Monday, December 1, 2025, Spotify has not issued a formal date, but all guidance points to the first week of December, with a mid-week release most likely. Recent history is remarkably consistent: Wrapped has landed in the last days of November or the first week of December, often on a Wednesday. That makes December 3 the prime candidate—though the company can flip the switch any morning once assets and app updates are green-lit.

What we know (and what’s still unconfirmed)

• No official date yet. Spotify’s public pages are in “get ready” mode, which typically precedes the rollout by a few days.

• Pattern points to this week. Previous drops clustered between Nov 29 and Dec 6, with two straight Wednesday launches in recent years.

• Staggered rollout is normal. Some users see the experience hours before others; server-side activation, app version, and region all play a role.

• Artists were prepped. Creator tools asked musicians to upload thank-you Clips by late November—a reliable signal that fan experiences follow soon after.

Bottom line: Expect Spotify Wrapped 2025 to appear mid-week in the first week of December. If you don’t see it the moment social feeds erupt, give it a few hours and update your app.

How to find Spotify Wrapped 2025 the moment it drops

1. Update the app on iOS or Android to the latest version.

2. Open the app and look for the “Wrapped” banner on Home, or search “Wrapped”.

3. Check Stories-style cards at the top of Home; Wrapped often appears as a tappable story.

4. If it’s still missing, force-quit and reopen the app or log out/in; then try again after 15–30 minutes.

Wrapped also lives on a dedicated landing page in browsers, but the full interactive experience (stickers, share cards, vertical story flow) is best in the mobile app.

What’s in this year’s Wrapped (expected features)

While labels occasionally change, the core beats return each year:

• Top 5 artists, songs, genres, and minutes listened

• Listening personality/“vibes” card with playful trait names

• Artist thank-you messages for top fans

• Shareable cards sized for Instagram, TikTok, X, and Snapchat

• A personalized “Your 2025 Wrapped” playlist of your most-played tracks

Look for a couple of new surprise cards—the format evolves annually with fresh visual flourishes and social prompts.

Do streams still “count” right now?

Every year rumors fly about a hard cutoff on October 31. The reality: Spotify hasn’t confirmed a fixed public cutoff date and has previously pushed back on that notion. Practically, your recent listens can still populate end-of-year playlists and some recap elements right up to the switch-on. If there is an internal data freeze for specific metrics, it isn’t announced to users.

Wrapped for Artists: the other half of the moment

Musicians receive their own analytics package—global streams, listeners, growth, and top markets—plus tools to post a thank-you Clip that appears in fans’ stories. If you’re an artist, make sure your profile visuals, avatar, and Clips are current so your shout-outs look polished when fans start sharing.

Troubleshooting: why you might not see Wrapped instantly

• App version: Update first; older builds may not render the stories UI.

• Region timing: Rollouts propagate by region and account cohort.

• Account type: Free and Premium accounts both get Wrapped, but enterprise or special test accounts sometimes lag.

• Network cache: Switch Wi-Fi/cellular, clear cache, or reinstall if the banner won’t appear after several hours.

Sharing etiquette (and privacy sanity checks)

• Review display name and profile photo before posting cards publicly.

• Use platform-specific share buttons for cleaner image quality.

• If you prefer low-key, post a single collage tile rather than the full stack of cards.

Key dates to watch at a glance

Final word: If you’re asking “when is Spotify Wrapped 2025?”—you’re right on time. Keep your app updated and eyes on the Home feed this week, especially Wednesday morning. Once it lands, the internet will be awash in neon cards, personality labels, and your friends’ inexplicable Top 5s.
