“Christmas Tyme Lights” has returned to Harvest Tyme Family Farm in Lowell for a third season, offering a fun way to add some magic to the season, whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart. The event began in 2020 during COVID shutdowns as a way for families to enjoy some holiday cheer while social distancing. It was so popular that owners Josh and Melissa Sickinger have kept it going, and it’s already becoming a fun, annual tradition for families in the region. The drive-thru route spans over a mile long and displays an array of one-of-a-kind creations and favorite seasonal characters. “Our family had many of our favorite holiday traditions canceled in 2020 due to COVID, so we wanted to create a way for families to celebrate safely,” said Melissa Sickinger. “We never imagined

that the drive-thru would be as popular as it was from opening night. It gave families something to do together safely from their own cars, which began a new tradition for many of our guests.” The Christmas Tyme Lights has extended the season for this farm that has become a great multi-generational attraction where little ones, their parents and grandparents can spend a day together. Harvest Tyme is in its 15th season. “Harvest Tyme expanded our four-weekend pumpkin patch season,” Sickinger added. “We now offer Dyno Tyme at the Farm during the summer, the Sunflower Festival to transition from the summer to fall season, the Pumpkin Glow Trail of Lights and, of course, the drive-thru Christmas Lights.” Preparing for the lights display began in early November with the crew decking the halls over several days. While purchasing advance tickets isn’t required, it makes the
process much easier and saves money. Tickets are priced per vehicle and you’ll save $5 when you purchase online. Admission includes a one-time pass through the drive-thru, a Santa sighting and a custom Christmas radio station (104.9 FM). Sickinger said they love helping families create fun memories and celebrate traditions. This year they’re also offering a way for non-profits, school groups and organizations to raise funds for their groups during their Shine Bright Nights where up to 25% of ticket sales goes back to the organization. Contact bri@ harvesttymefun.com for more info. The Christmas lights will run select evenings beginning at 5 p.m. through Dec. 30. Santa’s appearance is weather dependent. Hot chocolate and other treats will be available to purchase on weekends, also depending on weather. For more information, visit harvesttymefun.com.
