🎄✨ Winter Wonderlights & Christmas Tree Stroll Light Up Old Town Burlington ✨🎄

If you’ve been dreaming of a picture-perfect, Hallmark-style Christmas—twinkling lights, decorated trees, Santa sightings, hot cocoa, and that cozy small-town holiday feel—Old Town Burlington’s Winter Wonderlights and Christmas Tree Stroll is exactly where you need to be.

Spread across 6.5 acres at the Old Town Museum in Burlington, Colorado, this immersive holiday experience transforms the historic grounds into a true winter wonderland. With over 90,000 lights, more than 30 beautifully decorated Christmas trees, and 21 buildings filled with festive décor, Winter Wonderlights feels like stepping straight into the North Pole—without the long flight.

And the best part? There’s still time to attend.

A Holiday Tradition That Keeps Growing

Now in its seventh year, Winter Wonderlights has become a must-see holiday destination for families across the tri-state area, drawing visitors from Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado’s Front Range, and beyond. Last year alone, nearly 10,000 people came through in just ten nights—and for good reason.

What sets Winter Wonderlights apart is its affordable, family-friendly atmosphere and its unmistakable small-town Hallmark charm. This isn’t a quick drive-through light show—it’s a stroll-worthy experience where you slow down, soak it in, and make memories together.
