The holidays are a holly, jolly time here in Nebraska, and there are endless places to find some holiday cheer. One of the biggest and brightest is in downtown Lincoln. Load the family up into the car, maybe take a bowl of popcorn to share, and take a slow drive through the Drive-Thru Nebraska Christmas Light Show.

It’s a Christmastime tradition in many families to pile into the car and drive around looking at the colorful lights. Driving through the neighborhoods is fun, but you can maximize your light-viewing time by visiting the huge Drive-Thru Christmas Light Show in Lincoln.

The light show is synchronized to music that you can enjoy through your car’s radio. It’s magical to see these bright, colorful lights dancing to the music as you drive.

One of the highlights (pun intended) of the light show is the tunnel of lights. You’re surrounded on three sides by twinkly lights, which is such a fun effect to watch.

Admission is charged per car, not per person, so feel free to pile all the kids (and maybe a couple of friends) into the minivan.
