If you love all things merry and bright and are anxious to check out some of the best Christmas lights in Colorado, you’re in luck! When the holiday season approaches, there’s no better place to be than the festive Centennial State. Every winter, our stunning slice of the Southwest transforms into a spectacular marshmallow world, complete with all of the traditional, twinkling holiday fixings that go with it. Fortunately, with our stunning snow-capped peaks lining the horizon and endless natural beauty filling every corner of the state, there are are few places with as idyllic of a Christmas backdrop as Colorado (even when Mother Nature skimps on the powder). If you’re a native, you may have already ridden the Polar Express, shopped the Christkindl Market, and walked around the Denver Zoo Lights, so what’s next? This Christmas season, we recommend taking in the beautiful Garden of Lights:
Located in Fort Collins is the gorgeous Gardens on Spring Creek and the can’t-miss Garden of Lights!
Gardens on Spring Creek Facebook
Open December 13th through the 29th, 2019, the Garden of Lights is billed as being one of Northern Colorado’s best holiday traditions and features hundreds of thousands of vibrant, twinkling lights.
City of Fort Collins
New for 2019 is a bigger and better route, which boasts double the lights and displays atop the already beautiful flower beds, grapevines, and sculptures!
Gardens on Spring Creek Facebook
As if the added lights were not reason enough to visit, the Garden of Lights has also introduced a brand-new animated Color Blossom Show, consisting of 700 lighted blossoms that dance in sync with one another.

The Best Christmas Lights In Colorado October 21, 2022 Jennifer Where can I see the best light displays in Colorado? We’re incredibly fortunate to have such an abundance of Christmas light displays in Colorado to choose from. If you’d like to stay toasty warm while you check out local neighborhood displays, you’ll want to wax nostalgic on our Colorado Christmas lights road trip. If a more immersive family experience is what you’re craving, this drive-thru Christmas light display in Colorado is one of the biggest and brightest in the state! What are the best Christmas towns in Colorado? Coloradans can really get into the Christmas spirit during the holidays, but naturally we have some charming villages that take things up a notch! These gorgeous, postcard-worthy Christmas towns in Colorado exude classic, snow-dusted beauty topped with a sprinkle of twinkle lights. While you’re at it, check out these iconic Christmas Main Streets around the state. What are the best winter activities in Colorado? Not every Coloradan chases bluebird days on the slopes from first snowfall to first thaw (though many of us do). There are countless ways to enjoy winter in Colorado without strapping on skis! For some lovely winter hikes around Colorado, these easy trails are perfect in every season and offer winter views that go on for miles. Or you can find countless wildlife on this stunning winter hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. This season, you can also let your inner child run (or drive) free by checking out these ice go-karts and ice bumper cars. Finally, once you’ve tuckered yourself out from a day of winter play, sit back with some hot chocolate and enjoy a sleigh ride in Breckenridge.
