NOTTINGHAM, PA — A dazzling holiday tradition is returning to southern Chester County as Herr’s transforms its Nottingham headquarters into a glowing winter wonderland featuring more than 600,000 Christmas lights.
The snack manufacturer’s annual Christmas Lights Display will welcome visitors from Nov. 25, 2026, through Jan. 9, 2027, offering families a free drive-through experience filled with colorful holiday decorations.
For more than 30 years, Herr’s has brightened the holiday season with its popular display, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy the sights from the comfort of their vehicles.
The illuminated route winds through the company’s corporate campus at 271 Old Baltimore Pike, where thousands of lights create a festive setting for an evening outing.
A Chester County Holiday Tradition
What began more than three decades ago has become a seasonal attraction for families looking to celebrate the holidays without the expense of admission tickets.
The display features more than 600,000 lights, approximately 90% of which are energy-saving LEDs.
Visitors can experience the decorations at their own pace while driving through the Herr’s campus, making the attraction an accessible option for families with young children and anyone who prefers to enjoy holiday lights from inside a warm vehicle.
Unlike attractions with limited evening hours, the Herr’s display is illuminated from dusk until dawn, giving visitors flexibility to plan their trip.
The lights will remain on display daily through Jan. 9, allowing families to enjoy the attraction throughout the Christmas season and into the new year.
Free Holiday Fun for the Whole Family
With no admission charge, Herr’s Christmas Lights Display offers a budget-friendly way to enjoy the season.
Families can make the drive part of their holiday traditions, whether visiting after dinner, taking an evening trip with friends or returning to see the lights again before the season ends.
The attraction also provides an opportunity for visitors from across Chester County and neighboring communities to experience one of Nottingham’s longstanding holiday celebrations.
