The Santa Claus Land of Lights Family Christmas Light Adventure in Santa Claus, Ind., opens for the 2011 season on Thanksgiving night, Nov. 24.

Located inside Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort, this custom outdoor light show tells the Shining Story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in storyboards and bright, energy-efficient LED lights. At 1.2 miles long, it is one of the largest holiday light shows in North America.

This will be the third season for the Santa Claus Land Lights. New displays and thousands of lights have been added this year, and each vehicle will receive a free photo with Rudolph.

Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort will once again partner with McDonald’s in Evansville and Terre Haute, Ind. Discount coupons ($4 off per vehicle) for the Family Christmas Light Adventure will be offered at 63 McDonald’s locations in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ohio Valley (RMHC).

A complete list of coupon locations may be found at www.SantaClausLandofLights.com.

The Santa Claus Land of Lights will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. Central time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Thanksgiving through Dec. 11. It will be open nightly Dec. 16 through Jan. 1 and closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
