Christmas in South Carolina brings with it a wealth of ways to celebrate the season and perhaps one of our favorites is the practice of lighting up your own home, either inside or out, with twinkling displays. Most families make a tradition out of visiting neighboring homes and communities to view these displays each year. And while we’ve featured public, fee-related Christmas light displays in South Carolina that you can enjoy this season, there are countless communities and single homes that really deck the halls, too. There’s one, in particular, that’s referred to as The Christmas House in Inman, South Carolina, and we think it has some of the absolute best Christmas lights in the state. Be prepared to be delighted at this house of Christmas!

What are some other places to go to see Christmas lights in South Carolina?

Each year, millions upon millions of Christmas lights go up around the Palmetto State. We’ve rounded up some of the biggest, best, and brightest Christmas lights in South Carolina so you can put them on your bucket list. From drive-thru displays to epic holiday, festivals at some of the state's biggest attractions, the Palmetto State comes alight in bright, twinkling, festive lights all holiday season long.

What's the best Christmas event in South Carolina?

While we love them all, there's something truly magical that happens at Brookgreen Gardens in the winter. Each year, South Carolina’s number one outdoor attraction, Brookgreen Gardens, delivers the best winter hike in South Carolina and it takes place at night under the glow of flickering candles and twinkling lights. For a handful of magical nights this holiday season, Brookgreen Gardens is open at night for a spectacular lights display, making it all the more special. Wander freely through the many sculpture gardens and gaze in awe as the lights shine perfectly to illuminate many of the sculptures and fountains. Each afternoon, more than 2,700 candles are hand lit throughout the garden; some are even floating in the many reflecting pools. It's such a magical display and a wonderful setting for the best winter hike in South Carolina!

Are there any unique holiday events in South Carolina?

In addition to the above Christmas lights displays in South Carolina, these drive-thru displays are wholly unique to the Palmetto State. What we love the most is that you don't even need to get out of your warm, cozy car to enjoy them! Our favorite is James Island County Park, which is the largest in the state and features more than two million lights and three miles of displays to drive through. After, visitors can park and enter the enchanted light trail for even more Christmas light displays, visit with Santa, shop for sweets and more, roast marshmallows, hop aboard the festival train, and take a spin on the holiday carousel.
