Here are our CandysDirt.com Top 10 North Texas Christmas Light displays for 2023, in no particular order:
1. Wisdom Way Lights, Haltom City
This family ups the ante every year with their themed, home Christmas light show, first going viral two years ago with a Selena-inspired show. This year, the Gonzalez family’s holiday show made an early debut with a special tribute to the Texas Ranger’s World Series win. You can visit their choreographed light show which now includes a “Super Mario Bros.” show and two traditional Christmas themes through January 1, every night from 6-11 p.m. Visitors should remain in their cars and listen on 89.7 FM radio.
Where: 4521 Wisdom Way, Haltom City, TX
2. Omni PGA Resort Lights, Frisco
The luxury OMNI PGA Resort is debuting its holiday festivities this year in grand style with a beautifully lit-up course and grounds, including 35 decorated trees across the property. In addition to drive-thru viewing, OMNI is offering families an immersive “Home on the Range For the Holidays” package experience, which includes “Putting for Presents” on the 2-acre putting green, letters to Santa, real reindeer and a longhorn, a ride on the Holiday Express train, screenings of Christmas movies, and more.
Where: 4341 PGA Parkway, Frisco, TX

3. Elder Oaks Lights, Oak Cliff
For more than 30 years, the Elder Oaks neighborhood of Oak Cliff has been putting on one of the best displays in town. About 96% of the homes in this charming mid-century niche put out lights, so you not only get a lovely drive through a great neighborhood, but plenty of bang for your buck. Located along three streets just south of the old Oak Cliff Country Club (Elderoaks Lane, Elderleaf Drive, and Elderoaks Place), the neighborhood scenes celebrate Christmas with homemade decorations that span medieval times to present day. Watch for signs that will tell you what station to tune in on your car radio.
Where: South of Oak Cliff Country Club along Elderoaks Lane, Elderleaf Drive, and Elderoaks Place

4. The Allen “Movie House”
If you haven’t visited the holiday movie house in Allen, make this the year you go. This ambitious, tech-savvy family has managed to encapsulate about 30 of your all-time favorite Christmas movie moments into a few minutes of inspired holiday magic that will have you laughing and maybe a little teary-eyed. I go every year, and every year there’s something new. So. Cool.
Where: 1600 Wagon Wheel Dr., Allen, TX

If you prefer your Christmas lights Texas-sized, The Light Park may be just what you’re looking for, and two locations are serving up huge displays this year for your viewing pleasure. This is a drive-thru-only experience, but the light show is accompanied by a DJ and you can purchase a package that includes those cool magic glasses, snacks, and drinks to enjoy while you take in the dramatic show.

9. Santa’s Country Christmas, Seagoville
I needed this video of Santa and The Grinch dancing to “Run, Run Rudolph” today, and if you did too, head on out for some country fun at Santa’s Country Christmas over in Seagoville. This two-mile drive or walk-through light show has everything from lights to live reindeer, a country Christmas store, visits with Santa and The Grinch (and hopefully more dancing). It’s open from 6-10 p.m. nightly through January 1, 2023.
Where: 1706 US 175 Frontage Rd, Seagoville, TX

10. The Tallest Indoor Christmas Tree, Dallas Galleria
The Dallas Galleria is known as a holiday destination, but did you know it has the world’s tallest indoor Christmas tree? Add to that you can ice skate around it, and it’s quite a thing to behold. In addition to that spectacle, the Galleria is playing host to a number of fun holiday events this year, including Snowday, an immersive holiday photo experience, a classical European holiday circus with puppets and jugglers, Storytime with Mrs. Claus, and various carolers and performance groups throughout the season.
