Every winter, Callaway Resort & Gardens transforms Pine Mountain, just an hour and a half south of Atlanta, into one of the most dazzling holiday destinations in the country. The resort’s signature event, Fantasy In Lights, was recently named a Top 2024 Christmas Light Display by Forbes, ranking third in the nation among America’s brightest and best.
This recognition shines a well-deserved spotlight on a holiday tradition that has delighted families for more than thirty years. With millions of lights, creative new displays, and the natural beauty of Callaway Resort & Gardens as its backdrop, Fantasy In Lights has become more than an event. It is an experience filled with wonder, warmth, and timeless holiday spirit.
Fantasy In Lights is more than a light show. It is a seven-mile celebration of design and nature at Callaway Resort & Gardens, where guests can drive through the illuminated display or board the festive Jolly Trolley for an immersive experience synchronized to music. Each turn of the trail reveals something new: twinkling forests, glowing tunnels, and shimmering reflections over Robin Lake. With more than ten million lights spanning 2,500 acres, it’s clear why families return year after year and turn Fantasy In Lights into their holiday tradition.
1. The All-New Song of the Trees Scene
One of this year’s most talked-about additions, Song of the Trees, brings the woodlands of Georgia to life through music, motion, and light. This enchanting display celebrates Callaway’s natural landscape while capturing the spirit of the season in an unforgettable way.
2. The Tunnel of Lights and Enchanted Forests
Guests can stroll or ride through tunnels that shimmer with thousands of colors, or marvel at enchanted forests glowing with whimsical designs. Each display is handcrafted to create a sense of wonder for visitors of all ages.
3. The Christmas Village
After the light tour, families can visit the Christmas Village for shopping, festive food, and sweet treats. The village features artisan gifts, holiday music, and photo opportunities with Santa himself.
4. Dining and Seasonal Flavors
From hot cocoa and roasted s’mores to holiday dinners at The Lodge Restaurant, dining at Callaway Resort & Gardens adds an extra touch of comfort and joy to the experience. Guests can enjoy southern favorites, holiday cocktails, and delicious desserts while surrounded by twinkling lights.
5. Overnight Packages for the Full Experience
For the ultimate holiday getaway, stay right in the heart of the magic at Callaway Resort & Gardens. Guests can enjoy the full Fantasy In Lights experience from morning to night with the convenience of being just steps away from the gardens, Christmas Village, and dining. Choose from luxurious rooms at The Lodge & Spa, cozy Cottages, or spacious Villas for a stay that’s as memorable as the lights themselves.
Fantasy In Lights captures everything that makes the holidays special: connection, joy, and shared moments with loved ones. It is a place where traditions are born and stories are shared beneath glowing canopies of light.
Visitors often describe the experience as “magical” and “breathtaking.” Families love the blend of southern hospitality, artistic design, and nature’s beauty that only Callaway Resort & Gardens can offer.
As one guest recently shared, “We come every year, and it never loses its magic. The lights, the music, the smiles, it’s everything you want the holidays to feel like.”
Fantasy In Lights runs from November 14, 2025, through January 4, 2026, at Callaway Resort & Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. Tickets are available now and often sell out for popular weekends.
