Editor's Note: Unfortunately, this Christmas light show has been retired and is no longer being offered.

The Magnolia State is home to some great Christmas displays, including one of the nation’s best. That’s right; Mississippi’s Richardson Light Show has been named one of the top holiday light displays in the U.S. The dazzling show is in full swing — and whether or not you’ve been in the past — you’ll definitely want to add it to your seasonal plans since it's constantly being added to. Take a look:

Located in Madison, the Richardson Light Show is a residential display that’s been spreading holiday cheer since 1999.

Nothing heralds the holiday season like sparkling twinkle lights and joyful characters.

But it’s not just locals who love the glowing display. It’s been ranked the 3rd best private light display in the nation by USA Today.

That's a pretty clear indication that something special is happening here.

It was also featured on featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight in 2018.

Imagine how much the display has grown since then! The spectacle only gets more elaborate each year.

And the massive display definitely lives up to the hype.

You'll spot some of your most beloved Christmas characters like Frosty the Snowman and The Grinch lit up in fields of magical lights.

It’s grown tremendously over the years. All in all, it features 100,000 lights, more than 300 inflatables, several hundred wireframes, a 23’ animated tree, and more.

It's truly a holiday sight to be seen and some of the best Christmas lights in Mississippi.

And since items are added each year, the display is constantly changing, which means there’s always something new to see.

You may even want to come multiple times in a season as more and more lights get added to the display.

Even better, it’s a drive-by display, so you can view it from the comfort of your vehicle.

Pack up the family and bring some hot cocoa along to make the experience feel extra cozy.

Only adding to the magic is the fact that the lights are synchronized to music.

It's like a holiday show and an art installation all in one.

While in your car, you can actually tune in to 99.9 FM, which broadcasts the show’s music.

That's how serious this operation is, they're linked up with the radio.

The festive fun doesn’t end there, though. Santa, Rudolph, and Frosty often make appearances during the show.

Bring a camera to capture a slice of the magic.
