Seeing the annual holiday light show at Mozart’s Coffee Roasters has become one of Austin’s favorite winter traditions. Each year, the lakeside café transforms into a sparkling wonderland filled with music, cocoa, and festive treats.

The Light Show will be on display nightly from November 22, 2025, to January 3, 2026. The 2025 theme, Heaven and Nature Sing, brings new light displays, live performances by local musicians, and even waterfront aerial shows inspired by The Nutcracker. Families can sip hot chocolate, enjoy Salt Lick BBQ, and stroll through the glowing holiday village surrounded by millions of twinkling lights.

General admission is $3 plus fees, and kids 11 and under are free with a ticketed adult. For an upgraded experience, guests can book donut boat rides, Euro Igloos, or lake cruises to see the lights from the water.

Tickets are required and sell out quickly, so it is best to reserve a time slot in advance at mozartscoffee.com.
