Above the Glow: Texarkana Offers Helicopter Christmas Light Tours

'Tis the season to be jolly! Christmas lights are popping up all over Texarkana. Sure, you can drive around and look at the beautifully decorated, lighted homes, but what if you could get a bird's eye view from above?

 2025 Christmas Helicopter Rides Over Texarkana

Once again, a local certified licensed pilot, Weldon Garrison, of Eagle Eye Helicopters LLC, is offering helicopter rides over Texarkana starting on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

The Santa-approved flights allow guests the opportunity to see Christmas lights from a different perspective, high above Texarkana. The short 15-20 minute flight will fly over some of Texarkana's most popular neighborhoods that go all out for Christmas with lots of lights and decorations.

Seeing Christmas lights and Texarkana at night from a helicopter is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The flight takes you over several key neighborhoods with lots of Christmas lights, Sugar Hill, and the Kings Highway area.

Seeing Christmas Lights From the Sky Makes For Lasting Memories

Seeing the Christmas lights from above is spectacular, and it makes for an incredible memory whether you're flying with family or friends. In other words, see what Santa sees from the air as he flies in on Christmas Eve. The magic of Christmas takes on a whole new meaning when you’re gliding through the sky. Get ready for a holiday adventure like no other.
