Put on some Christmas music and take your time driving through one of the longest running Christmas light displays in Ohio.

Nativity scenes, a lit tunnel, cartoon character boards and thousands of lit trees and festive displays make it a true celebration of Christmas.
Tip As you near the house the line splits in two, one veers left for children to visit with Santa and the other continues through the colorful Christmas displays.
For the best view, I enjoyed sticking my head out the sun roof to be surrounded by the lights and holiday decorations adorning the lawn. This experience is guaranteed to put you in a positive mood as you visit the Spring Walk Farm in Holmes County
Bring a Letter for Santa
Before leaving your home, grab your child’s Christmas letter to Santa because your child can have the opportunity to place their letter in a special mailbox. To top of the night, kids can visit with Santa Clause too. Even the Grinch was spotted sneaking mischievously around the property. From my perch out the sun roof, we were rewarded with a wave from him!
