We told y’all about the Texas Winter Lights at the Marriott Marquis Houston last year, but now it’s back and better than ever! Marvel at the lights while floating through the hotel’s iconic, Texas-shaped lazy river, or take it all in on foot. Either way, you’ll find some of the best Christmas lights in Texas here.

For its second consecutive year, Texas Winter Lights at the Marriott Marquis Houston is back - and the experience is even more magical this time around.
