so as you guys know it's December right
now it's a couple weeks till Christmas
and this time of year a lot of people in
Winnipeg like to put up Christmas lights
in fact some of the streets go crazy and
that's what I want to show you guys
tonight I'm gonna drive around I'm gonna
find some of the streets with the
coolest Christmas lights and it's gonna
be fun it's not quite pitch black
outside yet luckily this time of year
the Sun sets really early it's about
5:00 p.m. give that another 30 minutes
or so it's gonna be black and we're
gonna see some lights let's go and you
know while we wait for that sky I may as
well grab a coffee
I get medium double double coffee that's
it guys this is just the worst coffee I
don't know what it is about it it's like
you hate it but you love it at the same
time
[Music]
okay guys I found it here's the first
street I want to take you to the real
name is Fox Meadow Drive but this time
of year it changes a bit and they turn
it into Candy Cane Lane
I see a lot of cars driving by so I
don't think I'm the only one checking
out Candy Cane Lane tonight so far I'm
the only one crazy enough to get out of
the car
[Music]
these guys on the corner they have a lot
going on a very nice house on the corner
very nice
and right at the end of the street you
got a couple more houses with all kinds
of stuff you even got a candy cane
basketball hoop okay guys that was Foxx
Meadow Drive aka candy Caden Lane I'm
gonna get back in the car warm up a
little bit and then show you the next
street
[Music]
okay guys it's five minutes later my
fingers have warmed up a little bit
had a few sips of terrible coffee and we
are here at our next destination it's a
place called polar bear lane look at
those cute polar bears with the tuxedos
who doesn't like something like that a
now you definitely got a pretty clear
theme to this one the blue Christmas
lights and the polar bears I'd be
interested to know from someone who
lives here like how they coordinated how
they came up with this because obviously
it's something that requires some
teamwork but yeah this is really cool
I'm looking ahead and I see some crazy
houses so
but these guys up here are you kidding
me okay these guys just took it to
another level
[Music]
I don't know if you guys can see it but
13 that's that's counting down the days
and the hours and the minutes till
Christmas hats off to these guys I'm not
actually gonna take my hat off because
it's freezing but you know hats off
because they took it to another level
and there's there's a few houses up here
that are keeping it going oh what's this
tune radio 2 98.7 seriously
okay you got me I'm gonna run back to
the car and go check that house out turn
the radio to 98.7 okay what's this
[Music]
you
I don't even know how they got on the
radio like how do you have no idea how
they did that but major respect that is
that is cool
[Music]
man oh man was that ever something no
disrespect to our friends at Candy Cane
Lane but polar bear Lane you guys just
went crazy with it this year so guys
this last place we're going to is
actually a completely different
neighborhood called South st. Vittal as
you can see it's a bit of a drive to get
there but uh I think it's gonna be worth
it oh my God look at this well guys it's
a bit too dark out to see the house
numbers but uh I think this is the place
[Music]
that's our hockey team over there the
Winnipeg Jets best team in the league oh
yeah it's just kind of obviously
and the reason I drove all the way out
here is because apparently this place
has over a hundred thousand light bulbs
a hundred thousand Christmas lights just
incredible and you know what one of the
reasons they do this is to actually
raise money for a local charity that's
what the donation box is all about and
if you guys want to donate something
yourself I think there's a way you can
do that online I'll try to put a link in
the description but yeah what a cool
thing what a cool way to give back at
the holidays and what a what an
incredible display of lights huh
[Music]
anyway guys that's it if you are from
Winnipeg leave a comment let me know
what's your favorite place to go see
Christmas lights and if you're not from
Winnipeg let me know what you thought of
the holiday celebrations in my hometown
as always guys I'm Dan from the new
travel obviously I'll see you next time
[Music]
