Sonic Profile & Narrative Arc
From the opening verse—where Santa’s sleigh engine purrs and he checks the aux cord twice—to a driving rhythm section where Dasher locks in the tempo and Rudolph syncs to the bass, “Santa’s Playlist” is structured for maximum momentum. The arrangement transitions through crisp verses into an arena-sized chorus, features an punchy instrumental bridge (“Stop! Look! Listen! Let’s Go!”), and caps off with a theatrical, high-impact brass finish and rapid drum roll.
Song Overview
“Santa’s Playlist” flips the classic holiday narrative on its head. Where traditional Christmas tales focus strictly on quiet midnight chimneys and gift-giving under decorated trees, this track lifts the curtain on Santa’s journey high in the night sky. Performing as Reroute CA-Highway 99 and written and composed by Asteria Abada, the song imagines what really happens inside Santa’s flight deck as he navigates the globe: a high-energy, synchronized joyride powered entirely by his personal high-voltage soundtrack.

Introduction
For generations, holiday folklore has depicted a silent, serene flight led by reindeer through falling snow. “Santa’s Playlist” breaks that stillness wide open, introducing a modernized, electric vision of Christmas Eve. Before taking off into the stratosphere, Santa makes his final pre-flight checks—not just reviewing the Naughty and Nice lists, but ensuring the audio system is plugged in and cranked to full volume. The song serves as a musical cockpit view of Santa, his reindeer, and the elves in transit, using the power of music to power through a billion-mile flight across the universe before daybreak.
As the track puts it:
“He checked the Naughty List, he checked the Nice
But he checked the aux cord more than twice!
He ain’t listening to the wind or the winter snow
He’s got the volume cranked up, ready to go!”
— Reroute CA-Highway 99, “Santa’s Playlist” (composed by Asteria Abada)
Description & Narrative Arc
The track unfolds in cinematic layers, tracking every phase of Santa’s airborne concert:
- The Flight Deck & The Aux Cord: Santa’s rig is a striking hybrid—a vintage red sleigh retrofitted with a purring, high-powered engine and state-of-the-art sound. Silence is out; high fidelity is in.
- The Flight Crew in Rhythm: Up in the air, the entire team operates in musical unison. Dasher locks down the tempo, Rudolph’s glowing red nose pulses to the low-end bass frequencies, and the riding elves chime in with background harmonies while Santa rips through a lead solo across the dials.
- The Musical Recipe: Santa’s curated queue spans multiple sounds—blending country grit, deep soul grooves, and high-octane vintage rock and roll—keeping everyone energized across thousands of time zones.
- The Rooftop Impact: Even upon arrival, the celebration doesn’t pause. When the runners hit the shingles, the boots start tapping, turning deliveries into a rhythmic performance as Santa rocks around the chimney blocks before launching back into the sky for a fiery brass and percussion finale.
“Music supervisors and editors constantly hunt for holiday music that doesn’t drag the pacing down,” says composer Asteria Abada. “With ‘Santa’s Playlist,’ the goal was to write an unapologetic, feel-good rock-and-pop anthem that feels instantly classic while giving picture editors punchy hit points, driving basslines, and immediate fun.”
