Got your luggage in the car? Did you pack some snacks? Grab some coffees to go, and count the kids to make sure you have them all. Then make sure you bring some great music with you to enjoy on your trip. Here’s a playlist of cozy old standards to keep you warm on your wintry holiday roadtrip to fun, family, or friends. Most of these songs have been recorded by scores of artists, so you can pick your favorite rendition.

“Sleigh Ride”: This song’s been recorded by everyone from Jo Stafford to The Ronettes to Clay Aiken. Of course, the ultimate Sleigh Ride is by Leroy Anderson who composed this wintery wonderfully cheerful tune. Anderson told PBS, when he was reminiscing about creating this classic, "Sleigh Ride, I remember, was just an idea because, it was just a pictorial thing, it wasn't necessarily Christmas music, and it was written during the heat wave."

“I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm”: Part of any US holiday music playlist has to have Irving Berlin’s “I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” Bing, Billie, Della, and Ella did bang up jobs with this standard, but so did gravelly voiced Rod Stewart.

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”: Rod Stewart sang this song with Dolly Parton. Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme are known for their sweet duet, even Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera have recorded this classic and they all make it their own.

“Riu Riu Chiu”: This Spanish carol has such unique syncopation and harmony, it’s always a treat to catch it on the radio. The Winter Harp Ensemble has a gorgeous recording, as do the United States Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants. But The Monkees are noted for singing one of the best renditions of this unusual spirited carol.

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”: Unless you’re superstitious and don’t want to wake up the snow gods on the road, do add this gem to the mix. Bing, Rod, Frank, and Dean have a way with this song, but Bette Midler’s duet with Johnny Mathis is a definite winner.

“Jingle Bells”: Let’s hope your car has more horses than one. You also might want to keep the top on and the windows closed, but dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh does sound like a lot of fun. James Pierpont created this song in 1857 and it delights each new generation with the spirit of wintry joy.

“Happy Holiday”: The song was first introduced in the 1942 film Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby crooning his heart out. It’s still the best version of the song out there.

“The Christmas Song”: Mel Tormé wrote this well-known Christmas song in 1944, and it’s still a favorite ballad with lyrics that paint a picture you can almost see, hear, feel, and smell.
