The best things in life are free, especially when it can be equal parts fun and beautiful. Most events with tons to do will cost you a pretty penny, but not this free Christmas event in Florida โ and it just might be the most wonderful experience of the year. The Christmas Trail in Plant City has a winding 1/4 of a mile labyrinth of twinkling lights for you to stroll through with tons of spots to stop for a cute photo opp, but they also added some awesome experiences that sprinkle a little extra fun on top of your Christmas cheer. They have a little something for every type of visitor, from video games, movies, and mystery lovers to fans of theatrics and holiday happiness.

Those who are self-proclaimed movie buffs can curl up cozy on the lawn and watch Christmas movies under the Florida sky. They even have a Snowball Corral where you can have snowball fights! Further adding to that holiday feel, a sprinkle of live snowfall will dust your shoulders as you listen to Christmas carolers or stop to see Santa.
