Is the ‘Stricker’s Winter Wonderland’ in Centennial the best Christmas lights display in Colorado?

I grew up in Greeley, and for the last decade or two we had an incredible holiday light display called the Greeley Grizwalds. Sadly, they moved away a couple of years ago and the light show is no more. So I got to asking around to see if there was anything else like that around Colorado, and many people told me about The Stricker’s Winter Wonderland in Centennial.

It’s been voted the best Christmas lights display in Denver, and now I see why… From LED’s, videos and music, to Santa and his sleigh, along with many other of your favorite characters including The Grinch. Watch Santa’s elves hard at work and listen to Santa tell the story of The Night Before Christmas. Plus there is Whoville and a 22′ mega tree.

The show runs live every night from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. through New Year’s Eve at 6636 S. Lafayette, Centennial, 80121.
