Yes. Ogden Christmas Village, Holiday Hayrides through Lights Before Christmas and Layton Lights Before Christmas at Layton Commons Park are free in 2026.
We didn’t find a drive-thru with 2026 dates yet. Walk-throughs (three here) are better for kids who want to run around.
The earliest evening starts: Ogden Christmas Village at 5 p.m. and Layton Lights Before Christmas at Layton Commons Park at 11 p.m. The first hour after opening is the easiest with an early bedtime.
Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page, and links to it. We list dates, times and prices only when that page shows them for 2026; anything without posted dates goes in “Dates not posted yet” instead. These were last checked Oct 30, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. How we choose and check.
