Christmas Lights

Minnesota goes all-in on holiday lights, and these are the displays everyone’s talking about. From massive walk-through festivals to mile-long drive-thru routes, here are the biggest and brightest shows worth bundling up for this season.

A quiet Minnesota cul-de-sac just pulled off something absolutely wild for the holidays.

E.L.F., a new drive-thru Christmas light show, is coming to Chester Woods Park in SE Minnesota. See magical displays during select weekends in December 2025.

Volunteers worked hard to hang millions of lights for this annual event which is the longest drive-thru Christmas light show in Minnesota.

Lack of volunteers cuts down on the free goodies at the event.

This impressive display features millions of bright holiday lights and is open until the end of the year.

Tonight would be the perfect night to go—the weather is going to be great!

You might have heard about a new ban on incandescent light bulbs that went into effect earlier this year. But there's good news for holiday light lovers here in Minnesota!

CORRECTION: As it turns out, the ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs does NOT apply to holiday lights

Few things are more frustrating this time of year in Minnesota than when your Christmas lights suddenly stop working, right?
