Where are the best holiday lights in New Jersey?
You can find incredible holiday light shows all over NJ. Here are some of our favorite places to enjoy the best holiday lights in New Jersey:

  • The Shaw House, Cranbury, NJ: Sometimes the best light shows can be found right next door. The Shaw House has an incredible display that started out with a measly 10,000 lights. It is now over 100,000 lights and they have set state records for the largest pixel tree (20 feet with 7,000 pixels) and an even bigger tree with over 50,000 lights on their 36-foot Christmas tree - that's more than the iconic Rockefeller Center tree.
  • Winter WonderLights, East Brunswick, NJ: The Middlesex County Fair Grounds is home to this delightfully dazzling light show. It is one of, if not the largest drive-thru light displays in the state. At only a half mile in length, it is short and sweet, but the number of lights and displays is breathtaking. There is even a 200-foot tunnel that surrounds you in light. Not only is there a giant 20-foot Christmas tree all decked out with lights, but 12 in total of that size!
  • Smithville, NJ: This entire historic village in New Jersey near Atlantic City is the perfect Christmas town. It has such a wonderful Christmas vibe that you'll think you stepped right into your favorite holiday movie. With cute shops, places to eat, and a town carousel that sings with light-filled energy, you will be transported into a magical world of holiday spirit.

 

If you are looking for a magical place to stay during the holidays, try the Crystal Springs Resort. It is perfect for that special romantic getaway you've been looking for or a unique family vacation over the holidays. Of course, some of our favorite holiday memories involved hopping in an RV and going on a road trip to one of New Jersey's most iconic Christmas towns.
