Holiday Lights 


The most wonderful time of the year would not be complete without holiday lights and Santa! Enjoy over 20 attractions at Maxwell’s Magical Christmas and meet the man in red yourself, snap a photo, and make those last-minute wish requests. 

Amarillo Botanical Garden’s Christmas in the Gardens is also a local favorite. See over 400,000 lights, carolers, Santa, and even The Grinch!

Add the Tangled Lights Interactive Christmas Light Show to your list! This new attraction at the Starlight Ranch Event Center features 3 light shows: The Tangled Lights Production Main Show runs at 7,8, and 9 PM, The Hanging Pixel Gardens, and the Santa and Friends Moon Palace experience. The park will be open 6 PM - 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays in December. They will also be opening the entire week of Christmas. 

If it’s too cold out, hop in the car, grab some hot cocoa and drive down Candy Cane Lane. Head down Gainsborough Road near Westgate Mall to view thousands of lights and traditions.
