🎵 Dashing through the neighborhoods, in a socially-distanced attempt to see some holiday lights, over the train tracks we go, laughing all the way. 🎵

Driving through neighborhoods to see how locals are decking the halls for the holiday season is one of my favorite traditions this time of year, and it turns out you’re on the same page.

We’ve had several readers write in asking where to go for self-guided driving tours of the best holiday light displays in town.

So gas up the car, heat up the hot chocolate, and pick one or more of these spots for a safe drive-thru experience. Looking to set the mood? Here’s a classic playlist you can stream on your adventure.
