🎄 Why Skylands Stadium Light Show Slaps Every Year

• 🚗 DRIVE-THROUGH WONDERLAND — over 2 MILLION lights dancing in sync to holiday tunes piped straight through your radio, it’s cozy, festive, and the ultimate excuse to eat gingerbread cookies in the car

• 🎅 CHRISTMAS VILLAGE MAGIC — pop out after the lights to walk around a cute AF setup with photos with Santa, fire pits, hot cocoa, s’mores kits, ice skating, local vendors and more

• 🌟 PERFECT FOR ALL AGES — toddlers lose their minds, grandparents tear up, teens pretend not to like it (but totally do)

• ⛸️ ICE SKATING + CARNIVAL RIDES — legit, where else are you gonna find twinkle lights AND bumper cars in the same night?
  

🛍️ What’s Around the Corner

• 🍕 Yetter’s Diner (89 US-206, Augusta, NJ) — real NJ comfort food 2 mins away for pre- or post-lightshow munching

• 🧁 Apple Valley Inn B&B (967 County Rd 517, Glenwood, NJ) — make it a romantic getaway, this place is 20 mins away and screams “holiday Hallmark vibes”

• 🍷 Ventimiglia Vineyard (101 Layton Rd, Wantage, NJ) — holiday wine tasting anyone? Just 15 mins north

• 🧤 Shoppes at Lafayette — artisan gifts, boutiques, and small town charm perfect for last-minute gift grabbing
  

🎯 Tips from a Jersey Holiday Pro

• 🎟️ Buy tickets online in advance — this show gets PACKED, especially weekends, and they sell out fast

• ⏰ Weekday evenings = fewer crowds and more chill

• 🔥 Dress warm for the village walk, and bring cash for vendors — some are old-school (in the best way)

• ☕ Hot cider or peppermint cocoa? Grab both. Don’t play yourself.

• 🎄 Arrive a little early to get in line and vibe with the music while you wait

“Every single year, we go. Doesn’t matter how old the kids get or how cold it is, Skylands makes Christmas FEEL like Christmas again—it’s pure magic, I’m telling you.”
