One of our favorite holiday family traditions is driving around to look at Christmas lights in our area.

I made it even more fun by creating this printable scavenger hunt for my kids to check off different lights and decorations we see!

This new version is updated for 2023!

You can check out the original scavenger hunt printable from 2018 here.

Scroll down to see our Christmas lights adventures this year and to download and print your scavenger hunt. 

Our festive family loves the holidays.

Even with traveling, school, car troubles, being sick, and all the other things that happened this month we always make time for our time together making memories.

Our Christmas lights drive tradition is a good one! We fill a thermos with hot cocoa, order subs to go, and load up in the van with blankets and our scavenger hunt. 

Then we put on the Christmas music and drive around our town looking at all the Christmas decor and dancing lights!

We are lucky to live in an area with lots of holiday lights! I have found the best way to find the most festive areas is asking friends, coworkers, and searching social media! 

Most local dancing lights have their own pages and videos posted. 

We could watch them all night! I especially like the Grinch lights.

Another place to check for festive decor: downtown squares, city parks, and family farms! 

Of course, lights at stores and malls can count too! This was at our local Bass Pro Shops.

We go here every year for free Santa photos too.

You know we go all out at home too! 

My husband and kids love inflatables so we have a fun collection of those front and center.

Our last home in Missouri had a much bigger yard than our current house, so we were able to display my favorite sleigh and reindeer.

One day we have a goal to have dancing lights and a “Griswold” style house! (IYKYK)

Family Christmas traditions are a big deal in my family and we have quite a few special ones we do together every year! One of my favorites is driving around together, sipping hot cocoa, and looking at neighborhood Christmas lights. Both grownups and kiddos {and the dog too} enjoy this and we do it multiple nights throughout the month. 
So I thought I would create a printable Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt list for my kids and for y’all, my awesome readers, that are Christmas fans too. Also be sure to check out my favorite light displays from all over the South in the photos below.

NEW for 2023

Also check out the newly updated Christmas Scavenger Hunt here!
 
Christmas lights never get old! 
We love exploring our cities and checking out the beautiful lights all month long!

Now that we are parents, Ashton and I have really gotten into decorating our own home with lights. This is from Stella’s first Christmas in Louisiana. 
Every year we pile into the car with blankets and hot cocoa and check out the lights.
Last year in Texas we had Ashton’s convertible which was super fun to drive around in!
Have you ever seen a house with dancing lights? They are my kids favorite!
The house is covered head to toe in multi colored and they are set to “dance” to Christmas music that is played on the radio or a speaker. 
This is a shot of one in Deridder, LA. 
Natchitoches, La is one of the top 10 Christmas towns in the US and when we lived in Louisiana we went every year for their beautiful Christmas festival.
It’s not just Christmas lights that we like. We also enjoy visiting the local zoos, gardens, parks, and museums for their Christmas decorations and photo ops, like this Grinch at Hodges Gardens. 
You know I couldn’t skip Disney World! They have hands down the BEST Christmas lights ever!
This is from Hollywood Studios 4 years ago.

 This year we visited Magic Kingdom for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and LOVED the “ice” covered lighted Cinderella castle!
Another beautiful light display is Dollywood Christmas.
The whole town of Gatlinburg was absolutely breathtaking at Christmastime two years ago.
The Bagwell Dancing Lights in Springfield, MO are not to be missed!
Of course, I had to share a shot of our home this year. 
Complete with giant minion and lots of Disney magic!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
