'Tis the magical time of year when families across the state are spending their evenings admiring all of the wonderful drive-through Christmas lights, and we've got a very special one to highlight this holiday season. Candy Cane Lane in Louisiana boasts over a million lights to see on an epic drive-through display. Here's what you need to know:
Tucked away in a secluded wooded part of Ouachita Parish, Candy Cane Lane is one of the most unique places for drive-through Christmas lights in Louisiana.
While most of the light shows in Louisiana are larger, city-run productions, Candy Cane Lane is a labor of love from one family to yours.
It's a nostalgic feeling for sure. We don't see too many holiday light displays like Candy Cane Lane in Louisiana anymore, so be sure to swing by this holiday season.
Located on the Hanson family’s property, every year since 2017, the Hanson’s open up their gates and invite you to be a part of their Christmas tradition.
And every year it just gets better and better.
The 2023 season is shaping up to be the best season yet because they've added hayrides!
The hayrides will take you through Candy Lane Lane for about 25 minutes, with the option to snag some refreshments afterwards. While you can certainly still go through Candy Cane Lane in your own vehicle, the hayride offers a completely unobstructed view and a unique experience. Get your tickets on the Candy Land Lane website.
The drive-thru display features over a mile of interactive displays and a million sparkly lights.
There are even animated displays set to music.
Everywhere you look, you'll see lights in just about every direction.
If your car has a sunroof, it's even more epic.
You'll see some classic displays, but they've also thrown in some uniquely Louisiana displays, too.
Plus several of your favorite cartoon characters, holiday mascots, and everything in between.
The light tunnel is always the best part. Everyone’s faces always light up when you get to drive through this incredible display!
So when does Candy Cane Lane open? Well, you're in luck! It's open now!
