One of the most decked out walk through displays that you can check out in the Philadelphia area is the Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular. (The address for this location is at the Perkiomen Mill Loop, Oaks, PA 19460 . It is about a 45 minute drive from Philly.) You can find it at the Fairgrounds of The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, and is an outdoor experience.

This year, in 2022, the event will be taking place from November 25th to December 31st and ticket prices are around $14.99 per person, but can vary a bit depending on the time of day and when you are going. Also, as a side note, parking for this event is currently free, and when you arrive, there are parking attendants to navigate you to an open spot. There are also restrooms available. They do offer group rates for parties of 10 or more, and I will link their website at the bottom of this post if you are interested in purchasing tickets for this event.

In my humble opinion, one of the best times of the year in Pennsylvania is the holiday season. I will say that the Philadelphia area does go all out with it, and we love checking out the different light displays, and various Christmas villages too. Personally the holidays are pretty busy for us, but on a whim last year, we had a free night, so we decided to check out Tinseltown.

As we walked into the event, we were amazed at the sheer amount of dazzling lights. It felt like the area was a dense cake filled with shimmer, and it definitely put my husband and I into a holiday spirit immediately! Previously, I have seen light displays where the decorations are spaced far apart, and that makes you walk or drive a decent distance between them. The nice feature about Tinseltown is that everything is pretty close together.

We especially loved how many of the lights were Philly themed with an emphasis on our local sports teams. On that note, if you are a fan of the Philadelphia hockey team the Flyers, our team mascot Gritty will be at Tinseltown for holiday photos if you are interested. (We absolutely love Gritty, and we think he is the absolute best, and such an awesome character for Philly!) You will need a special ticket to see Gritty, which is in their Front Gate Package, and he will be there this year Wednesday, November 30th, Thursday, December 8th, Thursday, December 15th, and Thursday, December 22nd.

If you are interested in ordering food while you are at this event, they do have a Tinsel Lodge which has a variety of items including their famous “Scrooge Philly Cheesesteak” and delicious warm beverages such as warm cider and hot chocolate. Mrs. Claus also has a reading room where she tells of holiday tales to children, and every Friday professional choirs will be on location to entertain with a variety of holiday songs. If you enjoy ice skating, there is a rink here as well! There are also two lane ice slides that are 160 feet in length (about 49 meters.) If you are searching for the perfect holiday gift for friends and family, you will want to check out the Mistletoe Marketplace which features local artisans and businesses.

If you are visiting or live in the Philadelphia area, I highly recommend checking out Tinseltown in Oaks, Pennsylvania. It is a great location for so many holiday themed activities, and you could enjoy the area for several hours at least. This is a wonderful spot for people of every age, and it will definitely put you in the holiday spirit! Let me know in the comments if you have ever visited Tinseltown and what you thought of it. I hope that you are having a wonderful day, and remember to click the like and subscribe button!

-Holiday Oven Mitts

One of my favorite activities in the holiday season is making delicious baked goods! I absolutely adore this super cute oven mitt and pot holder set with gnomes on it. They are great to use while making treats, and also look really festive on the kitchen counter. I highly recommend them if you want to add a bit of holiday magic to your kitchen and display!
