How Northern Lights Began

In 2015, Donovan Dove started his passion for creating dazzling Christmas light shows by decorating his house in New Braunfels, TX as a hobby, and synchronizing it to music. As the display grew in popularity over the next 3 years, there was an obvious need for expansion, as the yard space got smaller and smaller with the addition of new props each year. Eventually outgrowing the small front yard, he added his neighbor’s house to the display in 2020; drawing hundreds of visitors each December. In 2022, Donovan and his wife, Crissy, decided to purchase land in Seguin to live out their dream of opening a Christmas Lights Drive Thru for thousands of visitors to enjoy on an annual basis. As a family-owned business, the couple worked tirelessly for the next 7 months to transform the 25-acre property into a Christmas wonderland. The display opened in November of 2022 and immediately received many positive reviews for its mix of “old school” static Christmas lights & props, along with “new school” synchronized lights set to music. Visitors from San Antonio and beyond flock each season to enjoy the best Christmas Light Show in the area. Each year, the light display has expanded by adding new themed sections, and animated props and lights. This year, we open for Year 5 on November 27th, and hope you make the journey out to see the new props and sections we have added. Merry Christmas!
