We are canceling our Drive- Thru this year.

We are instead focusing on making our Christmas at the Ranch festivals the best they have ever been.

We are a small staff and have decided that preparation is just too much this year. We may open again in the future. We hope you will join us at Christmas at the Ranch.

Everyone loved it

Come experience the only Scripted Christmas Light Show and Drive-Thru in the RGV. This is a unique Christmas experience with an encouraging and fun message.

Since last year we have added 100,000 computer-controlled lights set to music to our Drive-Thru.

This is how some of our guests described last years show:

“The entire experience was fantastic and more than I expected. It was so much fun and my kids absolutely loved it.”

“We attended the light show in Austin, TX and really enjoyed your show (in San Benito, TX). We hope to attend your show every year. Thank you.”

“My family and I loved it. I have a toddler who.. really enjoyed it, he was dancing, singing, and just hypnotized by all the beautiful lights.The drive-thru was so beautiful the snow under the lights was such a great touch. I can't believe it was the first year the light show was presented it was amazing.

We first hosted a drive-in light show for families in April 2020. We called it Lights of Hope and over 400 families attended. It was our first attempt and we had fun and learned a lot. We can’t wait to share this new show with you and your family.
