The World of Illumination drive-thru animated light show is back, bringing some holiday cheer for 2020.

The light show features hundreds of displays to Glendale and Tempe.

Since the show is drive-thru, guests can enjoy the lights from the safety of their own vehicles.

Yakie Urman, co-founder and CEO of World of Illumination, told FOX 10 Phoenix, "We are using state-of-the-art technology to synchronize the lights to music, to create a more immersive and give you that wow factor."

Urman says that he and his team spent an entire year working on the design of the displays and bringing the concepts to life.

The light show will be animated to music, meaning guests can use their car radios to get the full, immersive experience.

Urman says that the display in Glendale has a "Rocking Christmas" theme.

Tempe's theme is different. Urman stated, "In Tempe, we'll have our Arctic Adventure Theme Park, and we will feature everything about the North Pole, so you will see arctic animals from polar bears to penguins. You'll see Eskimos to Igloos."

Guests are urged to buy 3D glasses to enhance the experience.

Urman said, "Just to see families and everybody drive by through those shows, singing along, making memories in the most satisfying part of this experience."

Tickets for the event are $29 per car on weeknights, and $39 per car on weekends and holidays.
