Lanier Islands Resort

Running nightly from 5-10 p.m. through January 4, 2026, the newly designed <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/holiday-events/magical-nights-of-lights/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magical Nights of Lights</a> at Lanier Islands Resort features six miles of twinkling, animated light displays. Guests can tune in to Star 94 FM during their modern-day sleigh ride, filling each vehicle with holiday cheer amid a backdrop of classic Christmas carols. 
Once you’ve wound your way through the light displays, guests can pop by <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/game-changer/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Game Changer</a> to warm up with hot cocoa or mulled wine, roast s’mores by the outdoor firepits, or step inside the ultimate indoor entertainment destination, which will be transformed into an extravagantly festive wonderland. In addition to 23,000 square feet of arcade games, duckpin bowling, axe throwing, adult gaming machines, and virtual sports suites, Game Changer will showcase Clark’s Holiday Pop-Up Bar with Moose Mug cocktails and holiday treats. On select nights, Santa Claus will also be on hand to pose for pictures and listen to Christmas wishes from little ones. Afterwards, light watchers can head over to <a href="https://www.margaritavilleresorts.com/margaritaville-at-lanier-islands/attractions/license-to-chill-snow-island" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">License to Chill Snow Island</a> for ice skating, carnival rides, fresh fallen snow, and chances to brave Georgia’s longest, fastest &amp; only snow tubing slide down Blizzard Mountain.
As in the past, pricing for this treasured holiday attraction will be based on the carload, rather than on individual guests. <a href="https://www.lanierislands.com/holiday-events/buy-tickets/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Passes can be purchased online</a> or at the gate for a starting price of just $35 per vehicle of up to 10 guests.
