This year's Glendale show, Candy Rush, follows Chef Kuma along roughly a mile of candy-themed scenes: a swirl-road tunnel, a popcorn vortex, mega candy canes over a gingerbread village and dancing sugar-plum fairies, all synchronized to holiday music played through the car radio. Everyone stays in the car, so it works for small children, grandparents and anyone who would rather not walk a light trail; plan on about half an hour per drive. The show runs every night in any weather. One ticket covers the whole vehicle and tickets are sold online only for a chosen date, so buy ahead; on Oct 27 the ticket button still read 'coming soon'. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [World of Illumination: Reindeer Road Drive-Through Light Show — Tempe](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/world-of-illumination-reindeer-road-drive-through-light-show-tempe--listing-b79fe726154173b4b9d5eaea) — Nov 13 – Jan 3 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Tempe Diablo Stadium · All ages · From $39.99 · checked Oct 27.
