FOR MANY of us the festive season also brings a lot of driving around.

What better way to make holiday driving more bearable than a Christmas driving playlist?

The Clare Echo has teamed up with Martin Daly autos to create a seasonal soundtrack for your holiday road trips. From classics to modern hits, these songs not only lift your spirits but also keep you in the festive groove while ensuring
you drive safely.

“Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms:
A timeless classic that keeps the energy high without distracting from the road.

“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” by Bruce Springsteen:
The Boss adds a rock ‘n’ roll flair, making it a lively driving companion without compromising safety.

“Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano:
The bilingual beats of “Feliz Navidad” infuse joy without taking your attention away from the drive.

“Driving Home for Christmas” by Chris Rea:
A soulful track perfect for those heading home, creating a heartwarming atmosphere without distraction.

“Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by U2:
U2’s rendition adds a rock edge, maintaining a spirited vibe while keeping your focus on the road.

“Run Rudolph Run” by Chuck Berry:

A beautiful duet to share with your driving buddy

“A wonderful Christmas Time” by Paul McCartney:
All though it may be thought of as one of Paul McCartney’s worst songs in terms of composition, it is one of our favourite in terms of festive feeling.
