Round up the family, it's time for a road trip to check out the Christmas light parks in East Texas.

It's a tradition that continues for many East Texas families, visiting a drive-through Christmas light park. It's a tradition just like taking Christmas morning pictures in your pj's or volunteering to ring a Salvation Army bell or giving gifts to children in need.

Throughout the past few years, the number of light parks in the area has grown and the more established parks have expanded and added more attractions. Many of these parks will feature thousands, if not millions, of twinkling and steady burning lights to create spectacular images. Some images are static while others are more animated.

The one light display that will leave you mesmerized is the light tunnel. The tunnels can be rather long and feature quite the light show with twinkling lights all around you.

Lights, cut-outs, animation, and more.

Each park is unique, many of them came into existence and started out as a traditional family lighting event on their property that gained popularity and grew over time. One park will feature nothing but lights and images created out of lights, while another will feature painted scenes of cut-out figures and yet another will have a combination of both styles.

Bring along the hot chocolate.

In addition to the hot chocolate for you and the kids, you'll want some Christmas cookies and have the heater going in the truck along with a full battery on your cell phone, because you are going to be taking a lot of pictures on this holiday road trip. Come along as we take a look at the most popular drive-thru Christmas light parks in East Texas.
