Peppermint Parkway

There is nothing more festive than going for a drive to check out all the Christmas lights, and the Peppermint Parkway is one of our favorite ways of doing so! This mile-long drive takes you on a magical adventure to Christmas town and costs as little as $35 per vehicle. Located at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas, the lights are synchronized to the most popular carols, giving the event an extra boost! If you somehow miss out before Christmas, the show continues through December 27th, so don’t give up too easily.
