Bingemans Gift of Lights and Jingle Bell Rock are Bringing JOY to the Holiday Season

As in years past, we always kick off the holidays with a trip to the Gift of Lights at Bingemans.  This year's VIP Event was extra special as we were able to preview their brand-new Jingle Bell Rock holiday lights too!  Here you can see my live stream as I walked through it for the very first time.



The Gift of Lights and Jingle Bell Rock offer Two Holiday Experiences 

The Gift of Lights is a drive-thru light display, with the exception of a few walk-thru nights. It runs from November 12 to New Year's Eve.  This year's display was so fun and we really enjoyed the Twelve Days of Christmas theme!





Jingle Bell Rock is an area where you can stroll through the holiday lights, listen to Christmas music and try out some hands-on activities (additional charges apply festive drinks,snacks and cookie decorating). It runs from November 12 to January 7. To see the whole list of entertainers coming to Jingle Bell Rock visit the Calendar of Events.
Even in the rain we found it beautiful. Just look at the reflections on the walkway.


It was wonderful to see the large tree change as we went along too.





We think it will be a great place for those festive photos!

Bingemans Gift of Lights Marks the Start of the Christmas Season

Please note that I was gifted this experience by Bingemans, but that just means I get to tell you all about it and you get a preview of what took place

Lisa here, and as many of you know, I kick off the Christmas Season with a trip to Bingemans to see the Gift of Lights each year. It is a great way to get into the festive spirit at this magical time of the year. 



With the collection of Themed Displays, Sparkling Snowflakes and Glimmering Light Tunnels, there is something to delight everyone in your family. Get a glimpse of what I mean by watching my Instagram Reel!

There are lots of ways to enhance your Gift of Lights experience as well. Tune into 103.3 FM to hear Christmas Classics as you journey through the bright and beautiful lights. Bingemans has Holiday Add-ons for take-home treats or extend your stay at Boston Pizza and Funworx.  I can verify that the Winter Snowball Pasteries are as delicious as they look. They were the first items eaten from my VIP Treat Box.
