There is no better place to spend the holiday season than the Centennial State. Agree? Not only do we have beautiful snow and landscapes, but one-of-a-kind traditions and events that you cannot find anywhere else. Speaking of which, one of our most iconic Christmas light displays has just been named one of the best in the country:

Welcome to Zoo Lights, which was just named one of Cheaply.com's 50 Best Christmas Light Displays in America!

"Though the state's many mountains towns nearby have plenty of gorgeous holiday displays, few can compete with the Denver Zoo's Zoo Lights event," states Cheaply, and we couldn't agree more.

Celebrating its 30th year, Zoo Lights is fun for everyone in the family, thanks to its 80 acres of dazzling lights, adorable animal displays, and other fun Christmastime surprises.

In addition to the Zoo Lights, Cheaply also mentions other jaw-dropping displays like the Light Spectacular at WonderFest in Lewes, Delaware, Miracle on 34th Street in Baltimore, Maryland, and River of Lights in Albuquerque, New Mexico (pictured).
