Are you traveling for the Holidays? Whether you’re heading to a new vacation destination or just heading to your family’s home base for the holiday events, a good playlist is a necessary part of your drive. Kids will cling to their technology, but a good song can help break the monotony of a long drive, especially on rural roads.
That’s why we’re giving you a playlist of some of our favorite holiday travel songs. Not all are Christmas-themed -- in fact, we snuck in Hanukkah and Kwanzaa favorites -- and some are just universally good for travel. Most of these are available on Spotify; if you stream music there!
