Free Early New Years Fireworks In Las Vegas Perfect For Kids

Author Shawn Tempesta
Count down to 2025 (on the east coast) with free New Years fireworks in Las Vegas!

The Las Vegas Strip will be packed and Downtown Las Vegas will be rowdy. While they are a lot of fun, they probably aren’t the best place for your kids. The drinks they are flowin’, the dresses are skimpy and who wants to keep a 6 year old up past midnight? What if we told you there were free New Years fireworks in Las Vegas that happen early, are beautiful, and your kids will love?

Well, dreams can come true. If you don’t know about this best kept secret in the valley, you’ll know now and make this a yearly tradition for you and your family.

Glittering Lights Offers Free New Years Fireworks In Las Vegas

While you might think of the beautiful Glittering Lights at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as a “Christmas thing,” they are going all the way until January 5th! After Christmas is a perfect time to visit. The crowds have died down, you can take your sweet time through the display and be merry!

That said, you don’t even have to buy your way in to see free New Years fireworks in Las Vegas (although you should definitely donate to Speedway Children’s Charities, they are great). On New Years Eve, December 31st at 9pm, Glittering Lights will be holding their annual New Years fireworks display!

The event is technically at midnight east coast time, so it’s midnight somewhere! Garden State Fireworks puts on a great show and your kids eyes will open wide with wonder and delight. Then they’ll be asleep before you get back onto the highway. This author has been there several years with the kids, and trust me it is a treat.

Plus if you want to get admission for Glittering Lights, just bring something for Goodwill and they’ll shave $10 off your car’s admission! Its an awesome deal!

5 Muppet Christmas Movies That Will Fill You With Festive Joy

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.

The 5 Best Muppet Christmas Movies:

  • The Muppet Christmas Carol

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

  • A Muppet Family Christmas

    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.

  • The Muppets’ Christmas: Letters to Santa

    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.

  • It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

    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.

  • Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

    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.
