‘Tis the season for holiday traditions, family fun and festive lights! In my opinion, there is nothing more exciting than driving around during the holiday season and seeing houses adorned with Christmas lights and decorations. One of my favorite things to go to during the holidays is to visit Shady Brook Farm for its annual Holiday Light Show.

 

Shady Brook Farm, located in Yardley, Pennsylvania, is filled with holiday fun for the family. From a festive light show to picking out this year’s Christmas tree and more, the possibilities are endless.

 

The main attraction of the farm’s holiday activities is the Holiday Light Show. Drive through the acres of illuminating farmlands while listening to festive music from the comfort and warmth of your car.

Families drive through the 12 Days of Christmas, wander the Seven Wonders of the World and see some of their favorite sports and characters illuminated and shining bright. There are plenty of different displays that will certainly wow the whole family!

 

Take the holiday fun up a notch with an open-air wagon ride with the family through the lights. You can either ride in a full wagon with other families or you can rent your own wagon for a private experience.

 

Once you’ve explored the light show, cozy up by the fire with hot cocoa and roast some marshmallows for delicious s’mores.
