Lake Afternoon Drive: What’s your Christmas anthem?

89.5 the Lake Lake Afternoon Drive Logo

Snowflakes on the windshield, the radio cranked, and suddenly that Christmas song comes on. The one that makes you sing like nobody’s listening.

What’s yours?

Mariah hitting those high notes? Bing Crosby keeping it classic?

For me, it’s a memory wrapped in music.

I was riding in my grandfather’s old pickup—bench seating, cassette deck, the works. He popped in a tape and said, “This is the best Christmas carol ever written.”

I expected something solemn. Instead? Pure fun.

That song still takes me back every time. It’s my favourite Christmas memory and my Christmas anthem. What’s yours?

And are you looking for more holiday vibes? Join me, Caleb, on the Afternoon Drive, 2–6 PM, weekdays on 89.5 The Lake.
