The 2009 inaugural show featured 15 acres of state of the art lighting that illuminated and transformed the gardens into an enchanted winter wonderland. With special attractions such as an animal parade, a flock of electric sheep with ever-changing algorithm projections, a winter garden railroad with jeweled cars, and a synchronized and choreographed light show atop the craziest holiday house around, Hudson Holiday is not your typical holiday light show.  They even have a car decorated with lights it is so cool!
