Christmas Day family listening
The good news is that families to do also listen to some music together.
83% of Brits listen to over an hour of music together with family on Christmas Day and 55% listen for over 2 hours of music together on Christmas Day.
ROXi CEO Rob Lewis said: “We’ve known for a long time that families spend too much time on mobiles and tablets every day.
