‘Tis the season to trade endless city sights for endless twinkling lights.
For those who wish to stroll through a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie, Koziar’s Christmas Village is the ultimate destination—just over two and a half hours from NYC.
With over one million lights illuminating charming cottages, winding paths, and festive displays, the stunning valley is complete with magical moments around every corner.
The village offers endless magical experiences. Wander the winding paths of the Million-Light Display, where thousands of colorful bulbs create a glittering holiday spectacle. Step into the charming cottages and village scenes, each handcrafted to capture the warmth and whimsy of festive holiday life.

The charming village’s history dates all the way back to 1948, when the Koziar family transformed their home in Bernville, Pennsylvania, into a festive holiday display.
What started as a modest collection of lights and decorations quickly grew into a beloved tradition, drawing visitors from across the country.
Today, the Village features endless light displays, handcrafted scenery, and charming cottages—an enduring family‑run celebration of holiday magic that has delighted generations.
