Our Favourite Christmas Songs To Drive To: A Playlist
Christmas is always a busy time of year, especially within the logistics industry. This eventful time of year calls for many hours behind the wheel and many hours of listening to your favourite Christmas tunes.
At Barnes, many of our drivers enjoy a good playlist to keep them trucking throughout the seasons. In fact, who doesn’t?! Did you know it’s proven that good music can positively effect drivers’ mood and behaviours? So, this Christmas, we at Barnes wanted to create a tracklist that will positively get our drivers through transporting goods, making deliveries, or just driving home for Christmas!
You are the heroes who keep our shops full this festive season after all!
1. Fairytale of New York – The Pogues ft Kirsty MacColl
Possibly one of the greatest Christmas songs ever recorded, this timeless classic will never go out of style, or become overplayed! It’s truly the perfect Christmas tune you can listen to on repeat over the holidays, that will bring you the warm and comforting Christmas feeling time and time again.
2. I wish it Could be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard
Who doesn’t wish it could be Christmas every day? Imagine getting to indulge in all the festive food, parties, and presents every single day… We can only dream! If you like Christmas songs, this 1973 classic is a sure-fire way to get you excited for the upcoming festivities, not to mention a great singalong song.
3. One More Sleep – Leona Lewis
A more recent Christmas hit to feature on our playlists, is one more sleep. We love to sing along with Leona Lewis and count down the days to Christmas. A lot of our drivers resonate with this song as it counts down the days and hours before they can see their loved ones for Christmas, which is what the holiday is all about. A very catchy Christmas tune to feature on your playlist this year!
4. Jingle Bell Rock – Bobby Helms
A holiday classic that has been featured in many Christmas movies including Home Alone is Jingle Bell Rock. The rhythmic and bouncy melody coupled with fun lyrics is sung and loved by many around the world, it’s the perfect Christmas song to get you in the mood to enjoy the festive season and even reminisce with some classic Christmas films!
5. Driving Home for Christmas – Chris Rhea
Of course, Chris Rhea’s classic Driving Home for Christmas had to feature on our list – is there a more appropriate and relatable song for all our drivers?! Top to toe in tailbacks, we all wait in anticipation to get home to celebrate Christmas together, and there is no better song to solidify the excitement of getting home to be with loved ones at Christmas.
