Pack the Essentials for the Road Trip

Snacks: Some of our favorite "Frisco-snacks," perfect for the next road trip include a bag of Frisco Mix from POParella's, cookies from Cookie Society, meats from Chris's Specialty Foods and a jar of Mateo's Gourmet Salsa, all made right here in Frisco.

Attire: A Texas road trip isn't complete without a Frisco or Texas t-shirt from Tumbleweed TexStyles.

Tunes: The best playlist for a road trip across Texas, is of course, Texas Country. Check out this Spotify playlist for some good jams, or any of the "Texas-inspired" playlists from Texas Monthly's collection. Of course, we're partial to the bands we've seen play here in Frisco, so our playlist also includes hits from Blake Shelton, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Jimmy Buffett, One DirectionKISS, James Taylor and Ludacris.
