Tunes for Your Travels
/Growing up, we’d reach for the radio to spice up the vibe at home or pull albums and stack them in the order we planned to listen. Today, music is a click away; it’s still a daily ritual, but with better access. We love good tunes for traveling, even if the “journey” is down the steps. Here, we’re sharing 10 of our favorite seasonal songs to add a jingle to your journey.
In this festive music collection, you’ll find songs of all kinds; for the “Swifties” to symphony lovers, there’s something for everyone. You’ll find music to get your body moving and tunes to help calm the chaos. We think there’s a least one new version for everyone, maybe a long-forgotten favorite or one you’ve never heard.
You can search these titles, as shown in italics, to find them on your favorite music platform. You’ll find the artist first, followed by the music title. We’ve also included a related (YouTube) video link.
