No matter how many Waze shortcuts you take or how early in the day you start your journey home this holiday break, it’s still probably going to be a trek, because let’s be real, nearly everyone is on their way somewhere this weekend. But the long drive or airplane lines won’t bum you out if you have the right music. After all, a great soundtrack can turn even an epic flight into a trip to remember. Listen to our latest Spotify playlist consisting of upbeat music, from pop favorites like Paramore’s “Hard Times” and Lorde’s “Supercuts” to indie gems like “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie and “Just a Girl” by No Doubt. We promise they’ll lift your spirits and maybe even inspire a mini dance party in between the starts and stops.
