Hot Springs is one of the most festive stops to see along Arkansas' Trail of Lights (which you read about right here). Many Arkansans have made a visit to Hot Springs an annual holiday tradition and it's easy to see why!
The National Park is filled with endless lit trees, nutcrackers, and strings upon strings of lights. Any Hallmark movie could easily be filmed in this enchanting park.
The lights are simply dazzling, but they're not the only part of the experience. You'll find magic makers within different downtown businesses as well. One hidden treasure to spot is the towering gingerbread house in the Arlington Hotel! The display changes every year but never ceases to amaze.
Another business to peruse is the ever enchanting Kringles in the Park. The year-round Christmas store has a plethora of decorations, gifts, and treats to discover. During the holidays you may even spot Santa and the Grinch! You can learn more about the store and its famed visitors by following their Facebook Page.
Hot Springs is filled with festive beauty but the light display at Garvan Woodland Gardens is one of our favorite holiday traditions. Tour over five million lights spread throughout the garden's 210 acres. The displays are varied from classic Christmas characters to more natural enhancements of the garden's flora. You can learn all about this year's display by reading the full article right here.
