Circuit of the Americas's Peppermint Parkway features a one-mile drive-thru display of lights as well as a plaza full of music, food, and magic on select nights.

The Parkway will come to life with the help of dozens of live characters who will interact with guests, including dancing gingerbread men, roller-skating snowflakes, and everyone’s favorite holiday grump, the Grinch. Guests can also visit the COTA Candy Cane, COTA’s 251-ft tall Observation Tower that offers a view of the Parkway and illuminated Austin skyline.

New this year, attendees will have the opportunity to pick up a Christmas tree during their visit to Peppermint Parkway with the addition of Wonder Woods. Circuit of The Americas will be getting in the holiday spirit by giving away free Christmas trees to families in-need as well as offering low-cost trees to other attendees.

Also joining the Peppermint Parkway celebration is the all-new Holiday Market. Located in Peppermint Plaza, the Holiday Market will offer homemade sweet treats, gifts, and holiday swag for the kids.

Race fans can also enjoy the Candy Cane Cruise, an exclusive opportunity that will allow guests to take their own cars for a parade lap on COTA’s world-famous 3.41-mile FIA-grade Formula 1 track.
