The Finneys may be the most festive family in all of Arkansas. In addition to showcasing some over-the-top decorating for over 30 years, they’ve won The Great Christmas Light Fight too. Let’s take a drive through this impressive Christmas Wonderland as we visit this spectacular display.
Sam Finney began his decorating endeavor in 1985. Since then the nicely illuminated house decor has evolved into a spectacular drive-thru with displays on both sides of the street. This massive display would certainly make Clark Griswold proud. Drive through the displays for free at 123 Goshen Rd., Crossett, AR 71635.
That's about the same amount of lights you'd find in a Arkansas city park display! Over 20,000-ft. of cord is used throughout the Wonderland.

About 80% of the displays are hand-made by Sam. It takes the Finney family six weeks to create the whole feature.

They earned those bragging rights in 2015. In addition to the trophy, the Finneys won $50,000 for their lights!
The display is on every night from sunset to 10 pm (11pm on weekends) until New Years Eve. Entry is free but donations are used to make the display even better for next year. If you'd like to take a virtual drive-thru, watch this video.
