We all have our own Christmastime traditions that make the season so special. However, we can all likely agree that the season just wouldn’t be the same without the twinkling lights that illuminate homes, neighborhoods, and cities all across the state. We also have quite a few drive-thru Christmas light displays to visit. One of our favorites for the entire family is the Grant’s Farm Christmas lights celebration. Come along and see why we think its so special:

Grant's Farm in St. Louis draws visitors from all around Missouri and beyond.

The farm is home to more than 900 animal residents and a full menu of family-friendly activities.
When Christmastime rolls around you see an entirely different side of this place!
Trip Advisor/tomasulac
That's when this sprawling 280-acre farm becomes a winter wonderland with more than one million sparkling lights.
The fun begins as soon as you arrive at the farm.

Guests have their choice of a drive-through or walk-through experience.
If driving, be sure to turn the radio to 88.5 FM.
Trip Advisor/Gay E.
There you can experience a special music soundtrack that's sure to get you singing along. It also pairs with the dancing lights on a 50-foot tree.
