More than dazzling lights, The Lights of Christmas brings both nostalgia and innovation together for a Christmas experience to lift the spirit and uncover the hope of the holidays. This year The Lights of Christmas presents&#8230; A Drive-Thru Christmas, Located in Stanwood, Washington State. This drive-thru event lavishly celebrates the meaning of Christmas through new and classic displays alike.<\/p>\n<p><em>This is just one of the many Christmas drive-thru\u2019s we have spotted in the last couple of years. As long as we are facing another winter with COVID-19 amongst us, it\u2019s a great way to bring the joy of the Holiday Season to people when they are collecting ordered presents or food boxes. As most streets in shopping areas are decorated this December anyway, why not create a \u2018Christmas Wonderland\u2019 and have your clients pick up their orders in a fun and save way! Organise it together with other entrepreneurs, like these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/michelin-star-drive-thru-taste-the-art-of-4-michelin-starred-chefs-in-one-meal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">restaurants last year<\/a>. The drive-thru Christmas by The Lights of Christmas is great inspiration. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Reading time: 1 minute<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A drive-thru Christmas with an mobile app<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have many new displays this year. One of my favorites is the expanded Nativity scene. Another one I\u2019m looking forward to is the Icicle Falls which is a waterfall made of lights that cars will drive under.\u201d &#8211;<\/em>Kayla Castiglione <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/warmbeachlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lights of Christmas<\/a> Director.<\/p>\n<p>The new and creative displays are not all that\u2019s new this year. This year introduces The Lights of Christmas mobile app where guests can hear a reading of the Christmas story, participate in advent with a special calendar, hear Bruce the Spruce jokes, storytelling and more!

This year there will be a special photo area at the end of the drive-thru route where cars can park and take a selfie at the event.<\/p>\n<p>A drive-thru Christmas by The Lights of Christmas opens this year on November 26th and runs 34 select nights through January 8th.
