Visitors drive their own cars along the oceanfront boardwalk past beach-themed scenes such as a Surfing Santa, jumping fish, and musical crabs. The 2025 season added a 600-foot LED tunnel and more blocks of displays, anchored by a 40-foot Christmas tree animated with dancing lights.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Virginia Beach is around 4:49 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:18 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 35°F, so dress for standing around outside.
