Ride The Michigan Christmas Trolley This Holiday Season

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, the BYOB Christmas Lights Tour had its last holly, jolly run in 2022. However, our Christmas lights road trip is a great alternative (just save the adult beverages for when you get home!).

Are you ready to combine your love of holiday decor with a celebratory night out on the town? During Christmas in Michigan, there’s one unforgettable excursion that every adult should explore, whether you’re a Christmas fanatic, a beer enthusiast, or something in between. Round up a few friends and hop aboard for an enchanting and delicious ride on the iconic Michigan Christmas trolley, otherwise known as BYOB Christmas Lights Tour.

The BYOB Christmas Lights Tour is operated by the Grand Rapids Beer Trolley and offers customized pickup/drop-off locations throughout the area.

All year long, the Grand Rapids Beer Trolley offers a variety of fun rides through town where visitors can celebrate special events or see the city in a new way.

During the holidays, though, the trolley embraces the spirit of the season by offering a fun-filled way to check out the area’s prettiest light displays while enjoying adult beverages.

Tours depart on select nights throughout the holiday season. Be sure to snag your seats soon: tickets for this trolley outing tend to sell out quickly.

Upon meeting your group, you’ll enjoy beer tastings and appetizers, photo-ops, and plenty of opportunities to sing your favorite Christmas carols.

And don't forget, this tour is BYOB. Feel free to bring along your own stocked cooler or utilize the Yeti 110 that's aboard the trolley.

As you ride along and enjoy rounds of drinks, plenty of laughter with friends old and new is sure to ensue. Plus, you'll drive past residential holiday lights and make a stop at Rosa Parks Circle for a few photos. There’s truly no better way to ring in the cold season here in Michigan.

Even the Grinch himself would have a total blast checking out Grand Rapids and its many Christmastime attractions aboard this tour. You’ll be enchanted in no time at all.

For more information about the BYOB Christmas Lights Tour check out the Grand Rapids Beer Trolley Facebook page. Tickets should be reserved online in advance.
