With many traditional events canceled this year, I thought it would be fun to do a round-up of places within an easy day trip of Lebanon County where your family can go and enjoy Christmas lights and other holiday fun. This list is a mix of holiday attractions where you walk and explore as well as some that are just drive-thru holiday light displays.
Do you have a suggestion that we should add? Email me at alisonw@macaronikid.com.
