A Custom Christmas Song for Your Grandkids

Why grandparents choose a song

Grandkids have plenty of toys. What they don't have is a recording of how much their grandparents love them. A song with their name in it, about the fishing trips, the pancakes on Saturday and the way you say goodnight, is something they'll play this Christmas and still have when they're grown. It's a gift that carries your voice, your stories and your love long after the wrapping paper is gone.

What to put in a song for your grandkids

Tell us each grandchild's name and what they call you: Grandma, Nana, Papa, Gigi. Then share the moments that are yours together, like the games you play, the recipe you make every Christmas, the songs you sing in the car, and the advice you want them to carry. The verses are built from those details, so the song sounds like a letter from you set to music.

Ideas for a grandkids' Christmas song

• One grandchild: a song all about them, their name and the things you love doing together.

• All the grandkids: one song that names every grandchild, so it's a gift to all of them at once.

• A first grandchild: celebrate the first Christmas as grandparents with a song they'll grow up hearing.

• Grandkids far away: text the link on Christmas morning so they hear from you even if you can't be there.

• Older grandkids: a song in a style they actually like, with the advice and pride you want them to hear.

• From both grandparents: a gift from the two of you, with the family stories you want passed down.

Will it be ready in time, and will it be good?

ForeverSongs® holds a 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot across more than 10,000 reviews, with over 500,000 songs delivered. Most songs arrive within 24 hours, and because your song is delivered as a link, there's no shipping deadline. If anything misses — a mispronounced name, a style that isn't quite them — revisions are included.

One honest tip

Tell us the name the grandkids call you, not just their names. Hearing "Nana" or "Papa" in the song is what makes it feel like it's from you. If you're not comfortable online, a son or daughter can fill in the questionnaire with you in about five minutes. To see how your answers become a finished song, read our how-it-works page.

Common questions

Can the song name all my grandchildren?

Yes. Give us each grandchild's name and one detail about each, and the lyrics can mention every one of them by name.

Will the song say what they call me?

Yes. Tell us the name they use, whether it's Grandma, Nana, Papa or something only your family says, and the song uses it.

How do I give it to them?

You get a private song page that plays in any browser. Play it for them on Christmas morning, or text the link to their parents. Add the printable lyric keepsake if you want something to put in a card.

When should I order it?

Most songs arrive within 24 hours, so ordering a few days before Christmas works. Ordering a week or two early leaves time for a revision. If it's already Christmas Eve, choose rush delivery at checkout.

Is it hard to order?

No. It's a short questionnaire about your grandkids and your memories, and it takes about five minutes. Nothing to install.

Can the song be in Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes — songs are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Write your memories in the language you want the song performed in.
