The holidays are a holly, jolly time here in Nebraska, and there are endless places to find some holiday cheer. One of the biggest and brightest is in downtown Lincoln. Load the family up into the car, maybe take a bowl of popcorn to share, and take a slow drive through the Drive-Thru Nebraska Christmas Light Show.

It's a Christmastime tradition in many families to pile into the car and drive around looking at the colorful lights. Driving through the neighborhoods is fun, but you can maximize your light-viewing time by visiting the huge Drive-Thru Christmas Light Show in Lincoln.

Located in Haymarket Park, right in the heart of downtown Lincoln, the light show consists of countless brightly-colored lights and other holiday decorations.

The light show is synchronized to music that you can enjoy through your car's radio. It's magical to see these bright, colorful lights dancing to the music as you drive.

One of the highlights (pun intended) of the light show is the tunnel of lights. You're surrounded on three sides by twinkly lights, which is such a fun effect to watch.

Admission is charged per car, not per person, so feel free to pile all the kids (and maybe a couple of friends) into the minivan.

If you want to really roll up in style, spring for the VIP ticket, which gets you a cookie, a hot chocolate, a toy bag, and a picture with Santa. And best of all, it lets you skip the line to drive through the show!

Visit the Drive-Thru Nebraska Christmas Light Show’s website to learn more, including hours, days, and admission costs. Check out the Nebraska Christmas Light Show’s Facebook page for news and other fun extras.

It may start looking a lot like Christmas this time of year, but it’s just not the holiday season in Nebraska until you do these 15 things.
