AUSTIN, Texas — The holiday weekend is almost here and if you’re looking for something to do, KVUE is here to help. Here’s a list of some fun things you can take part in:

Peppermint Parkway

Over at Circuit of the Americas, they have a drive-thru experience featuring a mile of immersive holiday displays, millions of lights, live dancing elves, a walking plaza full of food and activities and more. This year guests can also visit two brand-new villages and get involved with an interactive, Rockette-style dance performance. Peppermint Parkway has been extended through Dec. 30 and tickets start at $35.

The Dash Pass is $65 and includes early entry, a box of holiday cookies and bottled water.
