Among the magical things that characterize Christmas are the aroma of pine, the delicious dinner, the snowy landscapes and of course, the Christmas lights. Not all of Mexico gets snow, but you can enjoy a magical spectacle for the eyes and here we tell you where.
Thousands of colored lights illuminate not only the houses, but also fill the main streets and squares of the most important cities in the country. These are the cities that know how to shine and shine with Christmas decorations.
Where can you see amazing Christmas lights in Mexico?

We start the list with the giant CDMX. The city’s ZĂłcalo Capitaliano gets bright with a few thousand colorful lights and this decoration remains throughout the month of December until the beginning of January.
The ZĂłcalo is the most important square in Mexico City and on important dates it is always decorated to impress locals and tourists.
However, during the last few years the level of production to decorate this space has increased considerably, making it a perfect place to see Christmas lights.
The Christmas Verbena in the ZĂłcalo is one of the most anticipated family activities of the year.
We are waiting for confirmation of whether the mechanical games, the Christmas train, the monumental trees, the snow zone and more will be set up, as in 2021.

Monterrey is filled with Christmas lights with the Luztopia festival, the largest Christmas lights festival in Mexico, with a 2-kilometer route and 200 giant figures full of light, making it the perfect place to take a Christmas photo of envy.
Another very important place during these dates is in front of the Municipal Palace of Monterrey, in Plaza Zaragoza, where a giant Christmas tree full of lights was installed on December 4.
