Oregon: Umpqua Valley Festival of Lights
The Umpqua Valley Festival of Lights is a hit among Disney-loving kids (and adults with a soft spot for "Frozen"). This epic seasonal spectacle at River Forks Park features more than 500,000 lights and 90 animated displays, most of which feature characters from the popular Disney film. Proceeds from the drive-through holiday experience go to worthy local organizations, such as the Boys & Girls Club of the Umpqua Valley.

Pennsylvania: Koziar's Christmas Village
Koziar's Christmas Village in Bernville, about a 90-minute drive from Philadelphia, is a cozy annual tradition that comes to life in early November and continues through January 1. When the event started in 1948, it featured William and Grace Koziar's gorgeously decorated "Christmas House," but over the years, the Koziars have expanded, decorating nearby barns, walkways, and trees to create an entire Christmas Village.
