About this adventure
Mozart's Coffee Roasters turns its waterfront campus on Lake Austin into a holiday light show for the 16th year, with more than 2 million lights synchronized to holiday music across the main building, the archway and six other areas, including the general-admission area. A Broadway-style live holiday revue hosted by singer McKenna Michaels mixes sing-along Christmas classics with 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. For children there is an interactive, touch-sensitive LED dance floor, a snow-globe igloo photo spot and a giant Austin-themed LED photo wall, and Santa and Mrs. Claus appear on select nights. Families can also book separately sold donut-boat or holiday boat cruises to see the lights from the water, and a Toys for Kids drive collects gifts for families in need. Santa's Tavern on site is a 21+ area. Tickets are for a specific date, so check the online festival calendar for that night's showtimes before you go.
