This Southern City Transforms Into a Christmas Wonderland With Over 15 Million Lights—Here's How to Visit

"For those who like their Christmas spirit with a bit of horsepower, Speedway Christmas at the Charlotte Motor Speedway delivers pure spectacle. From Nov. 21 through Jan. 4, nearly five million LED lights stretch across a four-mile drive-through course, synchronized to holiday music on local radio. An on-site Christmas Village adds to the magic with Santa’s workshop, an ice maze, and plenty of festive photo ops." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
