It's Christmas in November. At least at Lake Lanier.

ExploreLanier Island's LanierWorld Winter Adventure opens Friday.

The winter wonderland offers a driving tour of some of the best Christmas lights in metro Atlanta, carnival rides and marshmallow roasting.

Another big draw is bubble skating — that's ice skating with bubbles. After checking out the lights at Lake Lanier, take in some holiday shopping, share wish lists with Santa and watch a live nativity re-enactment.

LanierWorld's Winter Adventure runs until Jan. 8, and the magical lights exhibit runs through Jan. 3. Check out the full calendar for more details.

For the magical lights exhibit, tickets are $36 per car in advance and $45 at the gate. Activity wristbands for adults and kids (which include admission to ice skating and carnival rides) start at $29.99, and senior citizen bands start at $19.99. Carload tickets include visits with Santa and access to gift shops, movies and restaurants.

Magical lights car passes and activity wristbands are sold separately. Discounts are available for groups of 15 or more.
