Speakers for your Christmas playlist
No Christmas is complete without a playlist of festive classics blasting out on repeat. Mariah, Bublé, Wham, Essex (David, not Joey), we love them all. So why not give yourself an early present, and get a wireless speaker to stream your favourite seasonal tunes around the home?
You’ll love the big, deep audio from the compact KitSound Boomcube. And you’ll be amazed by the beefy bass on the SRS-XB10 – perfect for listening to the brass band of Jona Lewie’s ‘Stop the Cavalry’ in all its glory.
Or why not add your own personal assistant into the Christmas mix with an Amazon Echo 2nd Generation? From festive games to jokes that would make a cracker blush, Alexa’s got loads of little routines to get you feeling Christmassy.
Christmas Countdown app
We’re counting down the days. You are too, right? But guess what – there’s an app for that. It’s the free Christmas Countdown app. It’ll help you get proper Christmassy by taking over your device with fabulously festive backgrounds and falling snowflakes on the countdown screen.
There’s even an advent calendar with gifts all the way up to Christmas Eve – including fun wallpapers and festive tips.
Download the Christmas Countdown (2018) app on Android and iOS.
