Please see the following thread

Consider learning classes for GUI code

The code below has comments on how to fix and improve the code.

# from tkinter import * # don't flood the namespace with * imports
import tkinter as tk  # add tk. infront of following tkinter objects

checkbox_texts = [
    "a",
    "b",
    "c",
    "d",
    "e",
    "f",
    "g",
    "h",
    "i",
]  # give variables a more descriptive name

checkbox_variables = []


def done_press():
    # for x in range(len(data)): # don't use the index to iterate the items
    #     print(button_list[x].get())
    for checkbox in checkbox_variables:  # iterating the items directly
        print(checkbox.get())


play = tk.Tk()
# row=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] # not required can use enumerate on list items
tk.Label(play, text="Whats on").grid(row=0, column=0, padx=30, pady=20, columnspan=3)
# for box in range(len(data)): # don't use the index to iterate the items
for row, text in enumerate(
    checkbox_texts, 1
):  # iterate actual item and use enumerate to get row value
    checkbox_variable = tk.IntVar()  # create the varibale
    button = tk.Checkbutton(
        play, text=text, variable=checkbox_variable
    )  # use text & checkbox_variable directly
    checkbox_variables.append(checkbox_variable)  # append checkbox_variable
    button.grid(column=0, row=row, pady=5, padx=30)  # row from enumerate
btn_done = tk.Button(play, text="Done", command=done_press)
btn_done.grid(column=0, row=11, columnspan=2)
play.mainloop()
