One of my absolute favorite thing about the Holiday Season is visiting family and friends that I don't often get to see during the regular year. It's a great excuse to catch up and celebrate the past year with everyone. The thing that I don't like, however, is the often long road trips to get to where we need to go. I remember being cooped up and bored out of my mind when I was younger and my parents were driving. However, I recently discovered a fun trick to keeping those family road trips more entertaining. The thing that makes it great and a little bit of a bonding opportunity is putting on one of these 5 fun family-friendly songs and singing out loud with the whole carload as everyone has fun with this Latino Christmas songs playlist. Don't you want to sing along, and have fun, too?

"Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano
This is probably THE most classic Latin Christmas song that I can think of. I mean, who hasn't heard this famous rendition or the millions that came after it? Put it on and have the whole family sing along!
"All I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey
This is a beautiful, beautiful song and I think my all-time favorite Christmas ditty. Mariah Carey simply shines her amazing vocals in this song and watching her sing it on video is even more amazing.
"Soy Feliz En la Navidad" by Celia Cruz
They don't call her the "Queen of Salsa" for nothing! She's always had the most fun music and she certainly doesn't disappoint in this Jingle Bells-like song in Spanish. Teach your kids and everyone will have fun!
"Christmas Time" by Christina Aguilera
I've loved Xtina ever since she first got her start and I loved her even more when she released this Christmas album. I only wish it had a little bit of a Latin flair to it! Still, the half-Ecuadorian superstar is SO great in this song.
"Cascabel" (Spanish version of "Jingle Bells")
This one is actually very near and dear to my heart, because it's a song that my papi had us listen to when I was a little girl. He remembers it from growing up in Cuba and, subsequently, I remember it from growing up in Miami. It's sweet and the perfect song to sing with the kids as you make your way to your family this Holiday Season.
