FIRST LOOK: The Dallas Zoo Has Officially Transformed Into A Magical Christmas Drive-Thru

The most festive safari in the state.
Contributor

The Dallas Zoo has officially embraced the spirit of Christmas with their annual "Zoo Lights" event but with a special twist this year.

In order to make it pandemic-friendly, the event is a full drive-thru experience, which allows you to see the zoo from a whole different perspective, as it will be illuminated by millions of magical Christmas lights.

You will however have the opportunity to exit your car and explore the "Reliant Christmas Village" at the end of the drive-thru, where you can sip hot chocolate while posing for Insta-worthy holiday pics.

The light displays paired with the exotic animal habitats make it a holiday experience unlike any other.

Even the trees are fully wrapped in magical Christmas lights.

The animals joined in on the fun as well and got decked out in festive Christmas gear. (not the real ones, of course)

The event will be running for 36 select nights from November 20 through January 3.
