Are you looking for the best Christmas lights in the Roanoke Valley?
One of our favorite things to do each year, is grab some hot cocoa, turn up the Christmas music, and drive around Roanoke and Salem to look for the best Christmas light displays. Sometimes we have a plan and sometimes we just drive aimlessly depending on our mood. But, for those that like a plan, here are some great suggestions to enjoy the holiday lights!
