Who's ready to take a road trip across our great state to check out Christmas lights?

The folks at OnlyInYourState.com did a little digging and came up with eight great towns across Louisiana that are a must-see this Christmas season.

Gas up the SUV, pile in the kids and let's go!

Starting from north to south, here is the list.

    520 Broadway St. - Minden

    The Natchitoches Christmas Festival is probably the most known light display in all of Louisiana. There are more than 300,000 lights illuminating downtown right on the river.

    Hohensee Family Christmas Lights

    12625 Sullivan Rd - Central

    Personally, I love it when families have traditions of decorating their homes for the public to enjoy. This family goes all out every year with a dynamic soundtrack and an amazing light display.
