Even though the fall leaves are still green and on the trees, we’re already thinking about Christmas! If you’re a fan of the winter-time holiday and all the decor that goes with it, here’s the scoop on how you can catch a glimpse of the “World’s Largest Christmas Light Maze.”

So how can you visit? Luckily, you have three options in the United States.

Enchant Christmas, a magic-making organization, operates three Christmas light mazes—in Seattle, Washington, D.C. and St. Petersburg, Florida. If you think your neighborhood light display is grand, it’s nothing in comparison to what Enchant Christmas has to offer.

Each light maze takes up one Major League Baseball stadium. According to Enchant Christmas’s St. Petersburg location website, you can expect, “A luminescent land of larger-than-life sculptures, a stunning ice skating trail and decadent delights as snow gently falls around you.” That’s right, even the Florida location has snow!

The massive light maze/market/activity attractions take place from Nov. 22 through Dec. 29. Visit Enchant Christmas’s website here for tickets (adult prices start at $19.99, teens 14 through 17 start at $16.99, kids 4 through 13 start at $14.99 and tots under 4 are free).

There’s nothing you want more than to lick the ooey, gooey cookie dough off the spoon as you mix and blend soon-to-be baked awesomeness. But then there’s the whole raw egg/Salmonella thing.

Now Nestlé has an answer to your unbaked cookie dough woes—with a completely edible product. No heating required!

The new Nestlé Toll House Edible Cookie Dough comes in two sweet, sweet flavors—the classic fave Chocolate Chip, and a much more decadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Monster (which includes oats and candy gems).

Even though Nestlé is well known for making cookie magic, this dough is not meant for heating (so don’t try it). However you can safely spoon the chocolate chip goodness into your mouth without the fear of food-borne bacterial infection.
