When should you play seasonal prompts?
In the season, or deliberately out of it. Playing "Best Christmas Song" in December is a shared reference everybody arrives with. Playing it in July is a different and funnier round, because the songs land as absurd rather than as familiar, and rooms tend to rate them much more honestly out of season.
What wins a holiday round?
The song the room did not expect to be moved by. Holiday music is over-familiar, so a submission that gets a genuine reaction has usually done one of two things: found the version nobody plays, or found the track that is about the season without being a holiday song at all. Both beat the standard.
Do seasonal prompts work for a party?
They are the easiest theme to run at one. Everybody has an answer instantly, nothing needs explaining, and the submissions double as the room playlist for the next half hour. That combination is rarer than it sounds, and it is why seasonal rounds work with a group that has never played before.

Holidays & Seasons prompts, answered
What are Holidays & Seasons aux battle prompts?
Seasonal energy. Summer anthems, the perfect Christmas song, a track that sounds exactly like autumn. In an aux battle, Holidays & Seasons prompts are the brief every player answers with a single song, and the room then votes on whose pick fits best.
What are some good Holidays & Seasons prompts for an aux battle?
Three of the 214 on this page: "Best Song for a Family Reunion", "Best Song for a Solar Eclipse" and "Best Song for a Christmas Eve Dinner". A prompt works when it is broad enough that everyone has a song for it but specific enough that the picks are worth arguing about.
How many Holidays & Seasons aux battle prompts are there?
214 Holidays & Seasons prompts, part of a free library of 3,505 prompts across 16 themes. They are free to read, free to copy into a group chat, and free to play through on Aux Battles with no account and no download.
How do you play an aux battle with Holidays & Seasons prompts?
Pick one Holidays & Seasons prompt, say "Best Song for a Family Reunion", and give every player the same brief. Each person submits one song from Spotify, YouTube or SoundCloud, the room plays the submissions back without revealing who picked what, and everyone rates them. The highest average score wins the round.
