Start your engines! A magical Christmas adventure is taking place just outside of Toronto and you'll feel like you're driving through the North Pole.

The Gift of Lights experience is returning to Bingemans for its eighth year, transforming the grounds into a dazzling Christmas dreamland.

Located in Kitchener, the event will run from Friday, November 22, 2024 to January 4, 2025 and is set to be a "more spectacular attraction with new enhancements and surprises," according to a press release.

The immersive experience features over 2 kilometres of glittering light displays and two twinkling tunnels that are more than 150 feet long.

You can drive through the grounds while listening to your favourite Christmas tunes on the FM radio to add a touch more magic to the festive event.

You'll see over a million lights and more than 300 glowing installations along the way, such as the 40-foot twinkly LED tree.

This year, Bingemans is increasing the number of walk-only nights so you can stroll through the magical landscape and take in the Christmas scenery at your own pace.

Tickets for the event are available online and you can even add a cookie decorating kit or snowball donuts to your experience.

Enjoy a festive adventure without leaving your car at this spot.
