It’s been hailed as one of the top ten holiday lighting displays in the WORLD! Nights of Lights in St Augustine is where palm trees sparkle, historic streets glow, and is the highlight destination of our Coastal Christmas Holiday Tour. From the festive small-town magic of Fairhope to the world-famous Nights of Lights in St. Augustine and the storybook squares of Savannah, this journey blends Southern hospitality, seaside beauty, and holiday traditions into one unforgettable getaway.

Your holiday experience begins along the Alabama coast in Fairhope, a town that looks as if it were designed for a Christmas postcard. Recognized by HGTV as one of the best small towns for Christmas, Fairhope glows during the season with illuminated trees, garlands, and storefront windows dressed in festive decor. The downtown streets shimmer with white lights and holiday displays, inviting you to slow down, stroll, and soak in the spirit of the season. Enjoy time to explore at your own pace, shop for unique gifts, and choose from cozy local restaurants for dinner surrounded by cheerful decorations and small-town Christmas ambiance.

Then, the Christmas celebration shines even brighter in St. Augustine, where you’ll enjoy an extended stay during the world-famous Nights of Lights festival — one of the most spectacular Christmas light displays in the country. Throughout the historic district, millions of tiny white lights blanket centuries-old buildings, balconies, courtyards, and bridges, creating a golden glow that reflects off brick streets and the waterfront. Every corner feels festive, with wreaths on doors, candles in windows, decorated plazas, and the soft sounds of holiday music drifting through the air. Now in its 32nd year, St. Augustine’s award-winning Nights of Lights is admired by a global audience and is well known as one of the "10 Best Holiday Lighting Displays in the World by National Geographic Traveler.

With a hop-on, hop-off trolley pass, you can explore this Christmas wonderland at your leisure, stepping off to visit historic landmarks, museums, churches, and shops dressed for the season. St. George Street becomes a holiday promenade filled with lights, greenery, ornaments, and boutique windows trimmed for Christmas. Cafes and restaurants offer seasonal treats and warm drinks, making it easy to pause and savor the moment. A highlight of your stay is the Nights of Lights Red Train Tour — an evening ride through the glowing city where festive narration and music accompany views of the most beautifully illuminated streets and landmarks. A special included dinner at a restaurant known for its Christmas decorations adds another layer of holiday cheer.

Our journey continues in Savannah, with seasonal magic, Southern elegance and old-world holiday style. The city’s historic squares sparkle with lights and greenery, fountains are surrounded by decorations, and the riverfront takes on a festive energy. You’ll have time to explore City Market and River Street, where holiday vendors, seasonal foods, and decorated storefronts create a lively Christmas setting along the water. Wandering beneath moss-draped oaks wrapped in lights feels both timeless and magical.

An evening Christmas performance at the Historic Savannah Theater brings the sounds and stories of the season to life in a beautifully preserved venue, adding music, laughter, and tradition to your holiday experience. Your time in Savannah is further highlighted by a riverboat dinner cruise, where you’ll dine and enjoy entertainment while gliding past illuminated waterfront scenes and city lights reflecting on the water — a peaceful and festive celebration of the season.

Your Coastal Christmas journey concludes with classic holiday nostalgia in Gadsden, Alabama. After a warm, included dinner at a beloved local restaurant, you’ll visit Noccalula Falls for a Christmas lights celebration filled with colorful displays and sparkling scenes. A festive train ride through the illuminated park adds a childlike sense of wonder and serves as a joyful finale to your holiday adventure.

From glowing historic cities to decorated coastal towns, from candlelit streets to riverfront celebrations, this Coastal Christmas tour surrounds you with the sights, sounds, and spirit of the season — creating holiday memories that shine long after the lights come down.
