A Holiday Tradition Worth Keeping
Every year, without fail, our family kicks off the Christmas season with a visit to Prairie Lights in Grand Prairie, Texas. It has truly become a tradition — one that fills us with joy, wonder, and that warm holiday feeling we all crave. And just like every year, Prairie Lights did not disappoint.
Here’s a recap of our visit, why this place needs to be on your Christmas bucket list, plus helpful tips to make your experience smooth and magical.
What Makes Prairie Lights So Special?
If you’ve never been, Prairie Lights is a 2-mile drive-through holiday experience featuring over 4 million lights, cheerful holiday displays, animated tunnels, and the iconic light-tunnel finale that everyone loves.
But the magic doesn’t stop there — halfway through the drive you can park and explore Holiday Village, a festive stop with:
A walk-through forest full of lights
Holiday shopping
Fair-style rides and attractions
Sweet treats and hot cocoa
And, of course, photos with Santa
This spot makes the whole experience perfect for families, couples, and holiday lovers of all ages.
