Forsyth County's Tanglewood Park turns into miles of drive-through displays every night of the season, with storybook scenes and holiday themes lit by more than one million LED lights.
Kids can stay buckled in and warm in their pajamas while you drive, and the park's Gift Village adds a stop for treats and souvenirs along the way.
Parent tip: Go Monday to Thursday for the lower weekday rate, bring cash to save $3, and check the live traffic cameras on the festival site before you leave home.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
