'World's Largest Drive-Through Light Show' Ready To Glow In Orland Park

Editor's Note: World of Illumination has changed the opening date to Saturday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.

ORLAND PARK, IL — Orland Park this holiday season welcomes what's being touted as the "world's largest drive-through light show."

World of Illumination's "Cosmic Sleighride Christmas" opens in Orland Park Nov. 14, running through Jan. 3.

"Millions of lights, music, and magic, all from the comfort of your own car," describes the World of Illumination. "Cruise through dazzling, fully synchronized displays that surround you in a festive glow, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone inside. No crowds, no cold, just a smooth, cozy ride through a world of holiday wonder designed to delight guests of every age."

The show's location is listed as Orland Square Mall. Tickets are $39.99 per vehicle, and one ticket covers the whole car, no matter the number of passengers. The show runs from 6 to 10 p.m., and happens rain or shine. Ticket sales are online only. Check out their website for more.

"Shiny the Star has your coordinates," World of Illumination said, describing the Cosmic Sleigh Ride show. "Buckle in and blast off. Navigate through Santa's asteroid belt tunnel, rocket through a swirling vortex, and soar past the mega Elf HQ towers of Strato City, where all the holiday magic happens. Shoot past the sun, race among the stars, and pass through Kris Kringle's celestial portal where toys are prepped for launch. Orbit a crew of astro elves hoverboarding through the cosmos before entering the stratosphere of Santa City itself. Hold on to your seat, you're in for one stellar ride."

World of Illumination tours 5-plus cities every season and never repeats a show, the company says. Each season brings a completely original theme, story, and set of displays. If you've seen one before, get ready for a totally new show.

If you can't make this year's show in Orland Park, don't worry—the website shows they're set to return in 2027 with "Rockin' Christmas" and 2028 with "Candy Rush."
