If you love all things merry and bright and are anxious to check out some of the best Christmas lights in Colorado, you're in luck! When the holiday season approaches, there's no better place to be than the festive Centennial State. Every winter, our stunning slice of the Southwest transforms into a spectacular marshmallow world, complete with all of the traditional, twinkling holiday fixings that go with it. Fortunately, with our stunning snow-capped peaks lining the horizon and endless natural beauty filling every corner of the state, there are few places with as idyllic of a Christmas backdrop as Colorado (even when Mother Nature skimps on the powder). If you're a native, you may have already ridden the Polar Express, shopped at the Christkindl Market, and walked around the Denver Zoo Lights, so what's next? This Christmas season, we recommend taking in the beautiful Garden of Lights:

Located in Fort Collins are the gorgeous Gardens on Spring Creek and the can't-miss Garden of Lights! This has some of the best Christmas lights in Colorado.

Open Dec. 8 through Dec. 23, 2023, the Garden of Lights is billed as being one of Northern Colorado's best holiday traditions and features hundreds of thousands of vibrant, twinkling lights.

If you're searching for the "best Christas lights displays near me," this event is a must! It boasts incredible lights and displays atop the already beautiful flower beds, grapevines, and sculptures.

As if the added lights were not reason enough to visit, the Garden of Lights also has an animated light show, consisting of hundreds of lighted blossoms that dance in sync with one another.

Before you go, be sure to check the Garden of Lights' web page for special events that range from visits with Santa to live music and performing dog troupes.

Admission to the Gardens on Spring Creek's Garden of Lights costs $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 5-11. Children ages 4 and under are free.

Tickets to the Garden of Lights can be purchased on-site, online, or by calling (970) 416-2486.

The Garden of Lights is open every night from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. These Colorado Christmas lights are a great way to celebrate the season!
