Every year, many of us visit our loved ones. Whether by car, train or plane, via the car audio system or headphones from your smartphone: with the “Driving home for Christmas with STEREO GUIDE” playlist, you can enjoy the 40 best Christmas hits on the go on Qobuz. The best thing is that you can listen to all 40 Xmas songs in this report and also use it as an inspiration if you use a different music service or prefer to buy the songs on CD or download.
When selecting the songs, we made sure that they were neither too heavy nor too wild in order to create a balanced, colorful background music for the journey into the Christmas vacations. With 40 Christmas songs and a total playing time of almost two and a half hours, even a small traffic jam or one of those train cancellations or delays that are part of everyday rail travel in Germany should be easily bridged.
The 40 best Christmas hits from over 40 decades
In addition to classic Christmas hits such as “Last Christmas” by Wham or “Let It Snow” by Bing Crosby, we have also picked out funny Xmas songs such as “Jingle Bells” in the quirky electronic version by Yello. The first time I heard this song on the radio many years ago, the chorus gave me a fit of laughter on a fast-moving freeway exit of all places. But when does a Christmas song ever have such an effect in this day and age?
Of course, there’s one song that shouldn’t be missing from the playlist. I’ve been listening to it for many years on the highway on the way to Christmas Eve: “Driving Home For Christmas”, written by Petrol Head Chris Rea for all those who enjoy driving home to the Xmas party. Even though I will be listening to the playlist on the drive to Christmas, it is of course also perfect for the Christmas party with your loved ones. Wherever you listen to it, all that remains is to wish you a Merry Christmas on behalf of the STEREO GUIDE editorial team and to say thank you for the great reception our young, independent online hi-fi magazine has received over the past three years. Take care, stay healthy and have a good New Year.
