Every year Peddler’s Village in Bucks County transforms into a gorgeous Victorian village, showing off its charming town in one million twinkling lights. The village kicks off its holiday season with the Christmas festival in early December. There will be holiday parades and a gingerbread house competition, with more to come throughout the month.

The always enchanting Morris Arboretum goes in a slightly different direction during the holidays with its Holiday Garden Railway. It’s a quarter-mile-long train track that winds through the arboretum. Tiny homes and buildings line the tracks and are lit up in holiday lights.

Fairmount Park is filled with historic mansions, but only five of them will open up their doors this holiday season as part of the annual Very Philly Christmas. Visit each house throughout the season to take part in special events celebrating food, music, family, and friends.

Climb to the top of the Rocky steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to see its magnificent Christmas tree lit up in all of its holiday glory. Then, keep going through the museum’s front doors, where you’ll find the Grand Hall Staircase lined with Christmas trees, highlighting the iconic Diana sculpture gilded in copper.

Franklin Square's holiday lights never disappoint. The Electrical Spectacle light show returns, featuring over 75,000 lights set to Christmas music by the Philly Pops.

Take a walk through this dreamy tree-lined sidewalk at the Comcast Center, then head inside to catch the tower's Holiday Spectacular Show.

One of Philly’s most iconic and instagrammable streets, Elfreth’s Alley, is a great place to take a stroll during the holiday season. The historic homes that line the charming street go all out for the holidays, somehow becoming even more charming that they already are.

This is a no-brainer. The Macy's Christmas Light Show has been taking place in its Grand Court for over 20 years. And save for a few tweaks here and there, not much has changed. It’s made up of over 34,000 LED lights in six different colors and happens multiple times a day. Plus, it’s free.

One of the city’s original squares is a must-visit during the holidays. Dozens of lanterns hang from the park’s large, old trees, and the Christmas tree is always a sight to behold.

If you want to sit beneath thousands of twinkling holiday lights while being warmed by a fire, head to the Blue Cross Riverrink’s Winterfest on the Delaware River. There will be a huge Christmas tree, and all of the cozy cabins are strewn in pretty lights, too.

This magical display of holidays lights on the water is a one-time show, so mark your calendars for December 7. At the annual Parade of Lights, you can watch a bunch of boats decked out in lights float on by along the Independence Seaport Museum on the Delaware River. Hint: The best seats in the house are on the museum’s second-floor balcony.

These lights are up year-round at 17th and Addison, but it's especially lovely to stroll down this street during the holidays. This year, expect the trees to be brighter than ever—they installed some new LED lights last year.

You'll feel like you've stepped into another time at Collingswood during the holidays. The small New Jersey town strings up its whole borough with thousands of twinkling lights each year, complete with carolers every weekend.

Smedley Street's Christmas Light Spectacular takes over the middle of the street every year, transforming the neighborhood into a winter wonderland. It's between 16th and 17th, and Moyamensing and Oregon avenues.

There's just no beating Longwood Gardens during the holidays. From its fountain shows set to holiday music to the incredible collection of poinsettias to its impeccable decor, every turn wows both inside and out. Make sure to snap a photo in front of one of their many brightly lit trees. Also, the gardens have a new interactive map so you can plot your best trip around all the holiday attractions (welcome to the age of technology).

The Smith House on Top of the Hill in Wilmington, Delaware has been putting other homes to shame for decades. You can see the incredible display off I-95, but it's worth getting off the highway and seeing it up close and personal. Plus, this one has a heart-wrenching or heartwarming (or both) story behind it; the home’s owner put the lights up after losing both parents within months of each other, as a way to memorialize and remember them over 30 Christmases ago.
