Taking place throughout the month of December, Buffalo Trace’s Holidays at the Trace visitor attraction has been enhanced for this year’s celebration. In addition to two festive experiences, the Distillery has added more than 20,000 LED lights, upgraded to a 35-foot-tall Christmas tree with more than 400 ornaments, and installed more than 70 unique light installations throughout the grounds.

New for 2024, Buffalo Trace Distillery is offering guests an all-new Spirited Nights visitor experience. Spirited Nights is a 12-night complimentary event designed for guests to go beyond the Distillery’s annual drive-through light display for a more immersive, on-foot experience. The brand-new walk-through light installations include a 60-foot-long light tunnel and new themed lights scenes including elves testing toys in Santa’s workshop.

Additionally, Spirited Nights adds expanded food & beverage options such as a Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Hot Chocolate Bar, complimentary bourbon tastings, a cocktail bar serving winter classics and extended gift shop hours for holiday gifting. Spirited Nights will begin on December 5 and will continue the second and third weekends in December.

Returning to Buffalo Trace Distillery is the annual Holidays at the Trace drive-through light show. This year, the drive-through lights feature a new 16-foot-tall display of a jumping gingerbread man and four new buffalo light sculptures. This complimentary drive-through experience can be seen every evening from 5:30pm-8:30pm until December 31.

Tyler Adams, Buffalo Trace Distillery general manager, commented on the event: “Holidays at the Trace is such a beloved tradition at Buffalo Trace Distillery, and we are excited to offer the community more to see and do this year. Memories are made at Buffalo Trace Distillery every day, but Holidays at the Trace is truly a magical time of the year and we hope this year families can celebrate the season with us and make lasting memories experiencing our new offerings.”

In addition to the new light installations, visitors can check-off their holiday shopping at the Buffalo Trace Distillery Gift Shop, which offers a large selection of items for holiday gift giving, from barware and apparel to bottles and specialty foods. New items for 2024 include the Buffalo Trace X Bettinardi Golf Putter & Cover, a limited-edition holiday sweater and an in-store exclusive holiday candle made in a rocks glass that can be used to drink from after the candle is completely burned. Items can be purchased online and shipped nationwide.
