Holiday Time In Huntsville, Alabama

Holiday Time In Huntsville, Alabama

The holidays are a great time to explore the great state of Alabama.  Make plans to visit Huntsville, Alabama, for some holiday cheer.  It’s an easy drive from our area to North Alabama.  I don’t know about you, but Christmas lights totally put me in a festive mood!  The smell of pine Christmas Trees, Hot Chocolate, and Christmas Cookies are in my future as I take a road trip to Huntsville, Alabama.

The Hall Family Light Show

This family operated holiday light shows, according to their website, states that their “display began in 2007 when the first few Christmas lights were put out on our lawn in Huntsville AL. Over the years, I started collecting decorations from all over the country. Today our display features over 250,000 lights and is one of Huntsville's only free Christmas events for families all over the south.”  Their opening night November 28^th and their Facebook page is filled with various events throughout the holiday season.

Huntsville’s Tinsel Trail

According to Huntsville’s Tinsel Trail website, it is the 9^th year, and they “anticipate over 300 trees will decorate the park for the holiday season. Intended to promote community, each tree is sponsored by a local corporation, group, or family, and can be decorated by its sponsor or another organization designated by the sponsor.”  You can visit Tinsel Trail at Big Spring Park in Downtown Huntsville from November 29^th until January 1^st.   It’s open to the public daily until midnight, and the trees are lit from dusk until midnight.
