Xfinity's new Holiday Mode lets eligible Internet customers pause WiFi for chosen devices or people from the Xfinity app, starting Nov. 9.
Xfinity now has a Holiday Mode that lets you pause your home WiFi with one tap on your phone. It starts Nov. 9 for eligible Xfinity Internet customers and runs through the Xfinity app. The goal is simple: get families to look up from their screens, at least for a little while during the holidays.
Because you pick who or what gets paused, it can work for a dinner table, a family game night or any moment when you want fewer phones out. Xfinity's Julie Scelzo said the company is built on keeping people connected, but that some of the most important connections happen in person.
To promote the feature, Xfinity made a holiday ad starring actor John C. Reilly as the Ghost of Very-Recent Christmas Past. His character rescues people who miss holiday moments because they cannot look away from their phones. The 90-second and 60-second versions debut Nov. 9 on YouTube and TV.
The material does not say whether Holiday Mode costs extra or what makes a customer eligible. It also does not say how long the feature will be available. Xfinity customers can check the app to see if it appears for them.
If you have Xfinity Internet, look for Holiday Mode in the Xfinity app from Nov. 9 to pause WiFi on chosen devices.
