Texas is home to several drive-thru holiday light attractions, and one of my favorites — and perhaps the most spectacular — is Lights Alive! in San Antonio. Featuring millions of glittering LEDs synchronized to classic holiday tunes, this festive drive-thru Christmas lights in Texas promises to fill you with holiday cheer.

Lights Alive! is one of San Antonio's newest drive-thru Christmas attractions, having just opened a few years ago. After only a few seasons, it has quickly become a household name in the world of holiday light shows — and it's easy to understand why.
