It’s the most wonderful time of the year and holiday light displays have Northeast Florida all aglow.  We’ve compiled a list of “must-see” holiday lights displays.  Here are a few of our favorites:

ZOOLights – Come celebrate the holiday season the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens’ new annual event – ZOOLights, presented by Community First Credit Union. Thousands of LED lights have transformed the Zoo into a luminous winter wonderland filled with twinkling light displays, forests of colorfully lit trees and animated animal silhouettes. There is a nightly snow fall on the Zoo’s Great Lawn at 8 p.m. Zoolights is open from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 6:30 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday through Dec. 31, but closed Christmas Day.

Synchronized Tree Light Shows at The Jacksonville Landing – The Landing’s 56-foot-tree comes alive each evening performing a 10-minute synchronized light show with more than 78,000 twinkling lights. The free light shows take place every hour, on the hour, from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 6 to midnight on Friday and Saturday through Jan. 1. Visit www.jacksonvillelanding.com.

Night of Lights – Millions of white lights create a magical holiday atmosphere in the Nation’s Oldest City during the 18th annual Night of Lights celebration in St. Augustine.
