The holidays may look a little different this year but that doesn't mean the Christmas spirit is gone.

Arkansans aren't the only ones having to reenvision the holidays due to the pandemic but having to revamp tradition has been hard on everyone. Luckily one thing that hasn't changed too much this year is Arkansas' Trail of Lights.
Sherwood's Enchanted Forest Trail of Lights is splendid drive-thru light show that every kid (and kid-at-heart) will treasure.

The lights were turned on early this year for some much needed extra cheer. The show will be on between 6 - 9:30 PM and available until Dec. 30th.
This isn't your normal park-and-you've-seen-it show either.

The drive-thru trail is an entire mile long! The trail meanders through the park and begins at the Sherwood Sports Complex.
This is the biggest light show Sherwood has ever had, too!

Five new displays have been added thanks to donations. Now, nearly 100 different displays can be seen along the drive-thru trail.
The lights bring different holiday scenes to life and guarantee an ear worm or two.

It's fairly impossible to drive-thru and not sing along as the 12 Days of Christmas displays pass by.
It doesn't matter how many years you've driven through the Enchanted Forest, the displays still have a bit of magic.

Part of that is because of their size! The new light displays are neck-craning and quite dazzling. And although Santa won't be making an appearance, every attendee still gets a little treat - candy canes!
This is just one way to safely celebrate the holidays this year.
