This Allen home turns its facade into a holiday movie theater, screening clips from films like 'Christmas Vacation,' 'Elf,' 'Home Alone,' and 'Die Hard' alongside more than 10,000 lights and a six-foot interactive star.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Allen is around 5:21 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:49 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 32°F, so dress for standing around outside.
