Holiday Booking Tips
📅 How to Book Holiday Party Buses
Book 4-6 weeks ahead for Christmas. Prime December dates (especially December 15-23) fill up by November. The earlier you book, the better your date/time options.
Consider weeknight tours. Saturday nights in December are peak demand. Thursday and Sunday tours often have better availability and sometimes lower rates.
Ask about package routes. Many companies offer pre-planned Christmas light routes hitting the best neighborhoods and displays in your area.
Bring layers. You’ll want windows cracked to see lights better, so dress warmly even though the bus is heated.
BYOB for adults, hot cocoa for all. Bring your own holiday cocktails for adults 21+, and hot cocoa/cider for everyone to enjoy.
Family-Friendly Holiday Tours
Christmas light party bus tours are perfect for families! Kids love the excitement of cruising through decorated neighborhoods, the festive bus atmosphere, and the magic of seeing thousands of lights.
For family tours, bring:
- Hot cocoa or cider (no alcohol for family tours)
- Holiday cookies or treats
- Blankets for cozy viewing
- A great holiday playlist
- Cameras for the light displays
Many families make this an annual tradition—gathering friends and neighbors for a group Christmas light tour that everyone looks forward to each year.
Holiday Party Bus FAQs
When is the best time for a Christmas light tour?
December 1st through December 26th, with peak magic December 15-24. Most neighborhoods have lights up by early December. For less crowds at drive-through displays, try weeknights or earlier in December.
How long should a Christmas light tour be?
2-3 hours is ideal for most groups—long enough to see multiple neighborhoods and displays, short enough to stay comfortable. Add an hour if you want dinner stops.
Can we bring decorations on the bus?
Usually yes! Many groups bring Santa hats, garland, and small decorations. Check with your company, but most welcome holiday spirit. Just avoid anything that could damage the interior.
What about New Year’s Eve party buses?
NYE is extremely popular—book early October for best availability. Rates are typically higher due to demand, and longer minimums may apply. The upside: no surge pricing, no designated driver worries, party continues all night.
Are Halloween party buses kid-friendly?
Depends on the experience. Costume parties and trick-or-treating routes can be family-friendly. Bar crawls and haunted experiences are adults-only. Book accordingly for your group.
The Bottom Line
Holiday party buses turn seasonal traditions into unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re booking a Christmas light party bus tour for the family, a Halloween party bus for your costume crew, or a New Year’s Eve ride between parties, you’re creating memories that go beyond the ordinary.
The key is booking early—holiday dates are the most popular of the year, and the best options go fast. Start planning in November for December, October for Halloween, and September for New Year’s Eve.
