DON’T MISS: Minnesota’s Longest Drive-Thru Christmas Light Show
The holidays are all about special traditions, and one of my absolute favorites is our yearly visit to see Minnesota's longest Christmas light display. We bundled up on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and made the trip to see the lights and visit with Santa.
This fantastic holiday attraction is free (they accept donations for charity) and features millions of bright holiday lights, Santa, Mrs. Claus, and reindeer. Scroll down to check out some photos from the impressive light show and find all the details you need to start making it a cherished annual tradition for your family.
