The delightfully creepy 'Nightmare Before Christmas' light trail is returning to NYC this fall
This all-ages evening experience was inspired by the timeless classic 1993 movie known for its stop-motion animation and iconic characters such as Jack Skellington. The light trail promises to bring the film to life against the botanical beauty of the garden. The experience runs on select evenings from Thursday, September 25 through Sunday, November 30, with tickets starting at $33 for children and $45 for adults.
Visitors can walk through more than 8,300 square feet of dazzling light installations featuring interactive video projection, intelligent LED lighting, and 3D-printed sculptures of the film's iconic characters. In addition to updated activations, this year's light trail will feature new refreshment and merchandise "BOOths."
"We're coming back better than ever this year," Jeffrey Seller, of the show's creator Adventurelive, said in a press release. "We took everything we learned from our first year to make an even more exciting experience: A longer trail, more surprises, and better hospitality. You're going to want to come early or stay late for hot cider, beer, and wine, or some of the delicious snacks we're assembling."
Much to the delight of visitors, last year's Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail included creepy neon spiders, an array of lit-up tombstones and a candy cane-dotted Christmas forest. Needless to say, photo opportunities abound at every turn.
Tickets will go live here on Tuesday, August 19.

Great British Sewing Bee star flooded with support after breaking down in tears
The Great British Sewing Bee contestant was in tears after his design was praised, as it shared a link to his late mother A Great British Sewing Bee contestant broke down in tears after judges hailed his "beautiful" creation, which carried a poignant connection to his late mum. Judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young set the sewers a challenge this week to craft garments using reused and recycled materials, with many contestants bringing along old family clothing. Durham-based stitcher Dan, who started sewing aged just 10, gathered a collection of matching Christmas t-shirts his family had worn in 2022. His plan was to transform them into a single halter-neck dress, complete with a faux-fur muff. Discussing the accessory, he revealed: "This was a shawl that I made for my mum that she only wore once, unfortunately she passed away," reports Wales Online. "So I thought it'd be really nice to have her touch." When his finished creation was unveiled, Dan's garment was described as "beautiful" and he even claimed Garment of the Week honours. "I'm glad I did this, because I wanted my mum to be represented," he wept. He later reflected: "This week has been insane, I can't believe all the good comments they said. "It was really nice they got my vision and knew where I was going with it, especially this one in particular, it was really personal to me." Patrick also lauded Dan's finished piece, declaring: "It's absolutely stunning and such a beautiful story behind it. "The perfect way to go from an unwanted pile of old pyjamas into this beautiful, beautiful outfit." Following his victory, Dan said: "I've just got to trust my instincts and go with it. I'm glad that I did it on this week, where it was something so personal." Viewers were moved by the story behind his design, with one commenting: "Dan that dress was absolutely amazing mate. Thoroughly deserved garment of the week." Another viewer expressed: "Really pleased for Dan," while another added: "Definitely want to give Dan a huge cuddle." "Dan smashed it this week!" a fourth fan praised, while another admirer commented: "Well done Dan, that looked really good." The Great British Sewing Bee airs Tuesdays at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Two Doors Down Christmas spoiler leaked as exciting pics reveal major plot twist
It comes after the show was 'axed' following the death of co-creator Simon Carlyle LABOUR OF LOVE Two Doors Down Christmas spoiler leaked as exciting pics reveal major plot twist Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO Doors Down is set to deliver a new neighbour this Christmas — as telly couple Alan and Michelle become parents. The 'secret' plotline leaked after Joy McAvoy, 43, was seen on set with screen partner Graeme 'Grado' Stevely, 37 — and a baby bump.

Smith in costume as foul-mouthed neighbour Christine Credit: Steve Welsh We told how the BBC sitcom's cast reunited in Hamilton last week for the first time in two years to film scenes for their festive special. And our Two Doors Down photos show Joy sporting a large prop bulge underneath her maroon top as she meets up again with Grado, who is wearing a tracksuit and trainers. A telly insider said: 'Bosses were desperate to keep Michelle and Alan's baby joy under wraps but the cat's out of the bag now. 'The last series had left viewers on the edge of their seats after Alan popped the question in Vegas.' It was feared we'd seen the last of the Latimer Crescent crew when the show's co-creator Simon Carlyle died in August 2023, aged 48. But we exclusively revealed in March that fellow writer Gregor Sharp, 54, had penned a one-off episode. The BBC was asked for comment. Elsewhere on location, Elaine C. Smith - who plays foul-mouthed Christine - arrived in sandals, black trousers, white jumper and dark shades. Arabella Weir and Alex Norton were all smiles as they bring back put-upon neighbours Beth and Eric. Grado was seen beaming as he greeted locals and posed for photos with some fans of the award-winning series. Meanwhile, Doon Mackichan reprises her role as permanently sozzled neighbour Cathy. Gregor Sharp, who has written the new Christmas special, said: 'It's really exciting to be revisiting Latimer Crescent with all the regular cast for this new episode. "Christmas is a time for getting together with friends and family and then becoming low-level irritated by them, so it feels like they're the perfect group to celebrate the season with.' BBC director of comedy, Jon Petrie, added: 'There's something comforting about having the neighbours round for Christmas, even if they bring minor chaos." 7 Much-loved Two Doors Down creator Simon Carlyle tragically passed away 7 A Two Doors Down Christmas spoiler has been leaked revealing a major plot twist Credit: BBC
