Synchronized light shows at Mozart's Coffee Roasters on Lake Austin, Nov 21, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027. Shows from 6 pm; general admission $8.

Mozart's Coffee Roasters on Lake Austin Boulevard has run a holiday light show on its lakeside decks for 16 years. In 2026 the coffee house says more than 2 million lights are synchronized to holiday music across the main building, the archway and six more areas, including the general admission area for the first time. There is also a live holiday revue hosted by singer McKenna Michaels, built around 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, and an LED dance floor for kids.

The festival runs from November 21, 2026 to January 3, 2027. Shows start at 6 pm and run until 9 or 10 pm depending on the night; Mozart's posts nightly showtimes on its festival calendar. General admission is $8 ($7 if bought before November 21), and children under 18 months are free. You can also book a reserved table with a view of the stage, or a private deck for up to 16 people.

It's a compact outing compared with the Trail of Lights: you can see the show, have a hot chocolate and be home in an hour. Space on the decks is limited, so buy tickets ahead for weekend nights.
