Running from <strong>November 14, 2025 through January 3, 2026<\/strong> (closed Nov. 17\u201320 and Dec. 24\u201325), the park transforms into a breathtaking landscape filled with <em>millions of twinkling lights<\/em> that line its trails and illuminate the grounds. As guests stroll along the paved pathways, they\u2019re surrounded by dazzling displays and festive d\u00e9cor that capture the spirit of the season. The general admission ticket includes a scenic ride on the park\u2019s beloved train, offering a different\u2014and equally enchanting\u2014view of the lights as it winds through the holiday scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image413515_6cead7-82 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image413515_6cead7-82\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nfalls-81.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-413519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nfalls-81.webp 768w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nfalls-81-300x289.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From <strong>November 28 to December 23<\/strong>, Santa will be visiting the park, providing a perfect opportunity for children to share their holiday wishes and snap a memorable photo.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Food vendors are also set up throughout the event, serving warm seasonal treats to enjoy while taking in the sights. While pets are typically not allowed (aside from service animals), the park does offer two pet-friendly nights on December 2 and January 2, although pets are not permitted to ride the train or enter the animal habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets must be purchased <strong>online only<\/strong>, with weekday admission priced at $12 and weekend admission at $18. Visitors can also add an Express Train Pass for $10, which covers two people and helps reduce wait times on especially busy nights. When buying tickets, guests choose an entry time slot, but once inside, they are welcome to stay and explore until the park closes at 10 PM. Bringing a little cash can be helpful, as some of the food vendors operate on a cash-only basis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/484842676_1061937412628362_3059206011322234686_n-1-1024x621.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-413520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/484842676_1061937412628362_3059206011322234686_n-1-1024x621.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/484842676_1061937412628362_3059206011322234686_n-1-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/484842676_1061937412628362_3059206011322234686_n-1-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/484842676_1061937412628362_3059206011322234686_n-1.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas at the Falls continues to be a cherished holiday tradition for families across the region. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its glowing displays, joyful atmosphere, and charming small-town holiday feel, it\u2019s an unforgettable way to celebrate the season\u2014whether you\u2019re visiting from nearby or making it the centerpiece of a festive weekend getaway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":413518,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"event_listing_category":[186],"event_listing_type":[165],"class_list":["post-413515","event_listing","type-event_listing","status-expired","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_listing_category-community-culture","event_listing_type-attraction"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Christmas at the Falls - Front Porch Alabama Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frontporchalabama.com\/magazine\/event\/christmas-at-the-falls\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Christmas at the Falls - Front Porch Alabama Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u2018Tis the season to wander under twinkling lights!
