Visit Nashville’s family-friendly Cheekwood Estate & Gardens this holiday season, where you’ll find approximately 1 million bright lights illuminating a milelong walking path through the gardens.

In addition to strolling through the glowing greenery, weekend visitors can meet Santa and two of his reindeer, appropriately named Jolly and Nick – all visiting from the North Pole, of course – and enjoy fun, seasonal activities such as decorating gingerbread houses and cookies and roasting marshmallows for s’mores.

Guests can also explore portions of the Cheekwood Mansion, which includes a picturesque poinsettia tree featuring 500 poinsettias in its historic loggia.

Open from Nov. 23 through Jan. 5, the Holiday LIGHTS experience begins at 5 p.m. and ends at 10 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and tickets can be purchased at the time of the visit or in advance.
