When the countdown to Christmas is on and everyone is feeling the holiday spirit, nowhere is it more evident than at some of the best Christmas light displays in Minnesota. We are blessed with a lot of amazing ways to celebrate the season, but nothing ever beats seeing some epic holiday lights synchronized to our favorite Christmas tunes! If you're looking for some extra cheer, head to the nearest Minnesota light show. Most of them (including all of these) run through the New Year so you can fit them all in. Here are some of our favorites, but we need to fill in the rest, so tell us about your favorite neighborhood shows on the Only In Minnesota Facebook Page.
