Is It Legal To Drive With Christmas Lights On Your Car?

Tis the season for the holly and the jolly and while your neighbor is basic and putting up lights on their bushes and window sills, you are too cool for that. You want to show off your rizz on your whip. So, you wonder, is it legal to drive with Christmas lights on your car? After all, we are seeing them show up throughout the city.

Well, we hate to break it to you chief. If you're not Santa Claus and you're driving a fairly pedestrian whip around Southern Nevada, you're probably going to be on the wrong side of the law.

Why the heck, Grinches!? Why the heck can't you drive with Christmas lights on your car? This is America! Being loud and flamboyant is in our Constitution!

Well, actually, it isn't. But the law is very clear on affixing extra colored lights to your car.

The Nevada Revised Statutes 484D.145 is a section called "Colors of certain lamps, lights and reflectors". There, it is clear, there are no holiday light carveouts.

There it explains every color of every light that needs to be in every spot. Blinkers are amber, brakes are red, license plate lights are white. Other colored lights in other positions is bound to cause confusion for drivers, and therefore run you afoul of the law.

If they blink or flash, you might run afoul of other laws like 484A.020, which explains what color lights are allowed for what class of vehicle (i.e. Police, Fire, etc). If they are blinking the wrong color, and you cross the wrong officer, you could be looking at serious legal trouble.

So while you can't drive with Christmas lights on your car - at least legally - you can certainly drive to Glittering Lights and drive through Christmas lights. That is legal and encouraged.

When it comes to holiday movies, nobody does it like the Muppets. These lovable creatures know how to throw Christmas spirit in your face with just the right mix of heart, humor, and complete insanity. They’ve got something for everyone… Comedy, heartfelt songs, and even moments that sneak up and make you go, “Damn, why am I crying over a talking frog?” Muppet Christmas movies are proof that the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be magical. They just have to be full of love, laughs, and maybe a turkey or two running for its life.

The Muppets have mastered the art of taking classic Christmas tales and putting their wild spin on them. And when they’re not reworking Charles Dickens or George Bailey’s life, they’re coming up with their own bonkers holiday stories that somehow still capture the true meaning of Christmas. It’s the kind of joyful chaos you want during the holidays, like when your family is fighting over the last slice of pie, but deep down, you know everyone’s having having a blast doing it. That's a Muppet Christmas movie.,

What makes Muppet Christmas movies stand out is they’ll cast Michael Caine as Scrooge and surround him with singing rats! Or they’ll make Kermit question his existence while Miss Piggy hilariously spirals. Don't we all? And then there’s the catchy tunes that you’ll hum all season long, even if you don’t want to admit it. You love it.

Whether it’s a cozy jug-band in a small town or Gonzo pretending he’s Charles Dickens, every Muppet Christmas movie has something special. Sure they’re silly, but they always remind me that Christmas isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up for the people (or Muppets) you love.

This is the Christmas classic. Gonzo as Charles Dickens? Genius. Michael Caine giving Oscar level acting surrounded by singing frogs and rats? Unmatched.

It’s like the Muppet version of a potluck. You’ve got Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock in one big holiday mashup. And yes, Miss Piggy arrives dramatically late, because she’s a star.

A heartfelt road trip to deliver lost letters to Santa. It’s sweet, it’s silly, and Pepe the Prawn steals the show with his one-liners. This one is special.

The Muppets go full It’s a Wonderful Life here, with Kermit wondering what life would be like if he’d never existed. Spoiler: Miss Piggy becomes a washed-up reality star. Iconic.

This one’s pure, old-school Jim Henson charm. Emmet Otter and his friends bring small-town sweetness and banjo vibes while chasing their dreams. It’s about family, music, and holiday spirit, wrapped up in a jug-band jam session.
