Cheekwood boasts 750,000 lights every year in their holiday display, a walk-through trail that carries you through the grounds and up to the mansion. There are even live reindeer and s'mores pits!

A helicopter sized manger, 65,000 lights and a Christmas tree that stretches TWENTY FEET into the chilly December air is all that we need to convince us to visit. This classic Franklin display is just south of Nashville, and the drive down is positively darling.

The Lipton Lights show is choreographed to music and has been running since 2008. This flawless Tennessee tradition is also used to help local charities, and if you bring a couple of bucks to donate every penny is sent off to those in need. What a great cause.

This free Christmas display is considered the best light display in the state of Tennessee. That's a pretty big honor, if you ask us. Thousands of lights and the Hall of Christmas Trees serve to top off this lovely Nashville holiday must.

For the sixth year in a row, Big 98 WSIX brings you synchronized music to the thousands of lights on display at Jellystone Park. You can enjoy the musical drive-through exhibit from November 6th to January 3rd, and pay by the carload! How many folks CAN you fit in that Honda Civic...? We're about to find out.

Lookin' for 50,000 lights SYNCHRONIZED with your favorite Christmas music? This Hendersonville favorite is a great spot for your tiniest littles, and it oozes Tennessee hospitality. This is a small town holiday at its finest. Plus, if you bring a can of food it's donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.
What a sweet memory to make, hey? There are so many stunning spots around Nashville, and now you can combine them into one magical evening – make it a tradition, perhaps?
