"Christmas Eve in a Honkytonk” is Ricky Valido’s first original Christmas song, inspired by the honky-tonks and dive bars where he grew up playing and the roots that continue to shape his identity. With Santa singing at the bar, the jukebox spinning sad old tunes, and the band playing holiday favorites, this vivid country tale captures the spirit of an instant Christmas classic.

Lyrics
Christmas Eve in a honkytonk is where you will find me.
The jukebox plays them sad ole songs by the beer can Christmas tree.
Santa sings his country songs and buys all a drink.
It’s Christmas Eve in a honkytonk, so won’t you come with me.
I saved you a barstool, we got nothing to lose,
The band keeps on playing them holiday tunes.
It’s a snowy December, so I’ll spend it with you.
Christmas Eve in a honkytonk, so won’t you come with me.
Christmas Eve in a honkytonk is where you will find me.
The jukebox plays them sad ole songs by the beer can Christmas tree.
Santa sings his country songs and buys all a drink.
It’s Christmas Eve in a honkytonk, so won’t you come with me.
It’s Christmas Eve in a honkytonk, so won’t you come with me.
