One Of The Most Fun Ways to See Holiday Lights This Year is in Princeton, NJ

Remember when your parents would load you and your brothers and sisters into the car in your pajamas, with a cup of hot cocoa and snacks, to drive around local neighborhoods to check out all of the holiday lights?

Me too. We did it every year. It was a family tradition.

Nowadays, that same idea has evolved into a really cool holiday experience in Mercer County. Drive around and look at holiday lights and decorations in Princeton in a chauffeured trolley.

You'll jump on a trolley with family and friends (or both) and be escorted around town while sipping your drink of choice, if you so choose (make sure to bring your ID). You'll learn fascinating facts about the area, which is, of course, rich with history, with many famous people referring to Princeton as their old stomping grounds.
