Spanning several city blocks along Coleman Boulevard, more than 180,000 LED lights dance, twinkle, and flash in sync to high-energy holiday soundtracks broadcast over street-side speakers and transmitted directly to car radios at 107.3 FM for drive-in spectators. The holiday festival features North Texas’s only real outdoor ice rink, 'Skate the Square,' an open-air ice-skating experience where kids and adults can glide under the Texas stars. Additional family attractions include horse-drawn carriage rides through the square, visits with Santa Claus, and magical simulated snow flurries that float down from overhead snow machines every 15 minutes on Friday and Saturday evenings. ## Similar picks in Dallas–Fort Worth - [Christmas in the Square Light Show — Frisco Square](https://grassyknees.com/dallas-fort-worth/activities/christmas-in-the-square-light-show-frisco-square--listing-a54bb5a228db9396c7a606ac) — Nov 20 – Jan 4 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Frisco Square · All ages · Free · checked Oct 27.
