Southern California has yet another new drive-thru option for the holidays with the MAGIC OF LIGHTS light display now open at Angels Stadium. This traveling holiday light event has been displayed in numerous cities across America and is now ready to shine for the event’s first time in Southern California.
MouseInfo was invited to to the opening night for a look the setup which includes band-new displays including a “Prehistoric Christmas” and a seemingly fitting “BigFoot Monster Trucks” display (as Monster Jam is featured here annually). I must say, very quirky but also not very Christmas-y, but I digress.
Those familiar with large holiday light displays of OC and frequent certain local theme park attractions may find this event to be a bit more quaint by comparison. But if you and your crew are looking something a little different and prefer staying in your car away from a crowded hustle and bustle, this event is priced attractively at $25 per car regardless of the number of occupants.

This was a scam. You can drive through your local neighborhood and get a better display. Lasted 10 minute drive. Way below standard! Don’t do it and be disappointed. By the way, the holiday music, they told you to tune to local radio station. Also you had to blare the radio to overcome the noise from all the generators. Total disgrace to such event and time of year.
