Westchester’s Winter Wonderland is Back — and its Better than Ever! | Northern Westchester Moms

Westchester Winter Wonderland is Back -- and its Better than Ever!

One of our new favorite traditions is to drive through Westchester’s Winter Wonderland Drive-Thru Holiday Light Extravaganza, and see the 1.2 miles of holiday lights, larger than life displays, live characters, and Santa right from the warmth and safety of our car. Presented by Westchester Medical Center Health Network and Westchester Parks Foundation, this dazzling re-imagining of lights is such a fun way to see and experience the magic of the holiday lights.

Equipped with hot chocolate and holiday tunes, the kids and I were so excited to experience the holiday magic at the Kensico Dam Plaza and the process couldn't have been easier.

We got our tickets here (which are available until January 2, 2022), then showed the QR code for access. After changing the radio to their suggested channel, we were in awe of the lights and spectacle with something new to see at ever turn. This included the beautiful angels of peace, 50-foot dove, dancing trees, glowing snowballs, candy cane lane, a sparkling 40-foot Christmas tree, and more!

Westchester’s Winter Wonderland Drive-Thru Holiday Light Extravaganza, presented by Westchester Medical Center Health Network, will return to Kensico Dam Plaza bigger and better than ever with extended hours, thousands of more lights, magical holiday animations and a live Santa! We had a blast at this experience last year and are so excited for expanded 2022 edition!

The spectacular drive-thru 100-foot light tunnel was a favorite (also from last year), and of course, Santa where we stopped the car for a bit to hear his message of holiday cheer.

This year, they also had new attractions, including the Elf Disco, a display of children from around the world, a Peace on Earth LED display with animated trumpets and angels, and two new 30-foot snowflakes to light up the largest holiday Christmas tree in Westchester!  One of the kids favorites was the enhanced snowstorm central that seems as if we were in a snowstorm as bubbles came down the car. It was so cool and unexpected.
