Almost every home along winding plantation-style avenues participates with synchronized musical rooflines, life-sized glowing reindeer, animatronic Santa scenes, and hundreds of thousands of lights. While visitors can drive or walk the public streets for free, the community's signature tradition is taking an open-air, tractor-pulled Christmas hayride. Operating nightly from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve out of Pecan Grove Elementary School, standard and chartered hay trailers let entire families bundle up with cozy blankets and thermoses of cider to take in the spectacular displays without traffic headaches. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Baytown Christmas Parade: Stars, Stripes & Christmas Lights](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/baytown-christmas-parade-stars-stripes-and-christmas-lights--listing-1ff10515b3fa800de660ed07) — Thu, Dec 3 · 6:30 PM · Baytown Town Square and downtown parade route · checked Oct 16.
