Hi, Check the exact words for your Genre. Often purchased Christmas Music has the genre “Holiday” instead of Christmas Music. If you use “is” then the genre needs to be spelled exactly the same in your matching criteria as it is in the Genre tag for the specific songs. If you use “Contains”, then it will look for that word within the Genre tag. Regarding whether or not it will play while shuffling other songs all depends on whether the Christmas music resides in the playlist you are listening to. If you’re listening to the main library of songs, then they will occasionally be played just because they’re there. You could uncheck them after Christmas time and tell iTunes only to play checked items but when they’re checked and within the library or playlist that you’re focused on, the possibility is there that they’ll be played in the shuffle somewhere.
