Country Christmas Drive Through Light Display

Country Christmas at the Ingleside Hotel is Wisconsin’s Largest outdoor drive through light display. My kids always have a blast going through each year and they always seem to notice more and more details each year and squeal with delight as we make our way through! {Look for the Lake Country Family Fun sign this year!}  

Country Christmas is open November 29th, 2024 – December 3, 2024 & December 5, 2024 – January 1, 2025. Sunday through Thursday hours are from 5-9 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays hours are from 5-10pm.

Country Christmas is Wisconsin’s longest standing and most spectacular drive-through holiday lights event! Country Christmas features over a million holiday lights festively displayed along a mile-long trail that winds through the woods. You’ll experience enchanting animated figures and holiday scenes – all from the comfort of your car. And when you’ve finished your trip through the trail, leave your vehicle behind and visit Christmas Village and The Streets of Bethlehem.  Christmas Village is home to our spectacular, working model train display as well as a concession area to purchase refreshments. The Streets of Bethlehem is where you will be amazed by the near life-size Fontanini nativity display, an exact replica of the one found at the Vatican.
