While the Internet is rife with photos and videos of over-the-top neighborhood Christmas decorations, nothing beats the grandeur and sheer brilliance of the following legendary displays.
Singapore's Shopping District
Thirty years ago, in an effort to entice shoppers during the holiday season, Singapore began placing light displays all along-and above-its main shopping district. Now, more than a mile of spectacular stringed-light decorations arch over Orchard Road, near the heart of the commerce and entertainment centers. To get the best view of these aerial arrangements, it's recommend that you take a nighttime ride in an open-top bus.

Disneyland's Christmas Spectacular
From mid-November through the beginning of January, the magical kingdom is transformed into a winter wonderland, including a completely crystallized Sleeping Beauty's castle, The Nightmare Before Christmas-themed Haunted House, and the Main Street U.S.A. Christmas tree, which is decked out in more than 2,000 ornaments and 70,000 lights. But it's the Christmas Fantasy Parade, featuring trumpeting toy soldiers and all the Disney characters in their holiday finest, along with the "Believe…in Holiday Magic" fireworks show and its snow-fall finale that really makes Disneyland a must-visit destination during the holidays.

Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens
Disneyland is not the only amusement park that transforms into a magical holiday menagerie. Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe, metamorphoses into a 20-acre holiday village, complete with Christmas concert, decked-out rides, and mugs of glogg (or hot mulled wine) for sale. What truly makes this a standout seasonal spot is its artistic light display, which was created by Tiffany & Co. design director John Loring.
