From Christmas light displays of every size, to a whirlwind of can't-miss special events and local traditions, it's nearly impossible to choose a favorite Christmas activity in Idaho. The small town of Rigby transforms every year into an ice palace extravaganza that's perfect for the whole family, complete with sledding, colorful LEDs, and special appearances by some of Disney's most beloved characters. In addition to visiting the Scentsy Christmas lights tunnel in Meridian, you can also make a full day of exploring the city. Every year, the plaza at the Village transforms into Santa's North Pole village and offers ice skating and Santa photos right in the square.

If Christmas lights are what you're craving, the Boise metro area is also chock full of stunning light displays. If nothing else, be sure to check out the dazzling sights of Caldwell's Indian Creek Plaza and Winter Garden Aglow at the Boise Botanical Garden just to start! Heading farther north, Sun Valley, Lewison, and Moscow all boast some major holiday spirit with their lights - and if you've ever wanted to take a Christmas lights cruise, Coeur d'Alene is the perfect place to be!

But don't stop with Idaho's largest cities. Every town in Idaho gets even more charming at Christmas! For instance, Sun Valley boasts some fantastic botanical garden lights every season. Combined with some nostalgic outdoor ice skating, the beautiful sights of snow-capped Baldy in the distance, and maybe even a gondola ride and you have the perfect Christmas weekend in Idaho already planned! You can even keep the Christmas spirit going well into the New Year by paying a visit to the sweet town of McCall for their annual Winter Carnival and beloved snow sculpture competition. Be sure to grab some delicious huckleberry ice cream while you're there!
